Been watching this team get bullied by the Cali teams for years, it's refreshing to see a player at 19 years old who is willing to be the bully. Tkachuk is a dialed back version of his old man, Keith would do that in practice. Was it a bit dirty? Yes. But it shows this team is no pushover anymore. I'm not encouraging elbows to the head (even tho it wasn't an elbow imo)but Tkachuk's physical play is what makes him a beast and stuff like this will happen. Love seeing our rookie have no fear and constantly challenging and irritating other teams top players.

If there is a suspension, so be it. I've seen way worse not get any games
