Night and day comparison to Hrudey's take during the 1st intermission (and I'm a Hrudey supporter 90% of the time) where he accused Tkachuk of diving.
Tim is actually always very positive on the Flames.

I am surprised that anyone thinks Tkachuk was embellishing there. He looked pretty angry about it and was instantly ready to fight. Tkachuk isn't a guy that likes to fight, nor is he particularly good at it. For him to get up and want to go right away I think shows that he was mad about being tripped. If he was embellishing just to get a call, he would have just left it with a trip rather than getting angry enough to take himself out of the game for 5 min.
I also like Hrudey, but he was really stretching there just to try and find some talking points for TV.
