Elbow made contact while Tkachuk was trying to push back onto Doughty. Big whoop. It's a 2 min penalty.

We've been a team that has been gooned for your years and the NHL did nothing to suspend the opposing players, so no. No suspension. Maybe a fine, but that's it.

This Tkachuk is dirty talk is wrong. He's not. What has he done this year? The headbutt? Yeah, that was bleh. Suspend him for that, sure.

Slew foot? Worse slew foots happen on a fairly consistent basis and go uncalled. The elbow last night? It's an elbowing penalty. He didn't "target the head", he's moving his full body back into Doughty while reaching to grab Doughty's stick (he actually steals Doughty's stick). It's a 2 minute penalty and that's it.
