But that's the thing - it wasn't on an unsuspecting player as an attempt to injure or intimidate. Tkachuk didn't go after anybody. It was a simple play with two guys battling int eh corner.
Tkachuk and Doughty battled all night. They both knew what they were in for and participated willingly. Doughty said as much.
What Tkachuk did happens all the time. This play is only getting attention because Doughty misplayed it and it happened to catch him in the chops. And he stayed on the ice.
