That was part of it, but the reaction he got from the Oilers fans and team, and some of the hockey world, after he nailed Kassian clean twice and was expected to fight, surprised him.
Kevin Lowe actually went right over Hollands head and extended Kassian's contract within a week of that happening, he was so smitten with the mouth breather...from that point on Tkachuk knew all about the rivalry.
