Drama and hate is what makes sports interesting and entertaining. I hope they keep it up (including Rasmus inserting himself into it). The last thing I want to see is the NHL punishing everyone and we go back to soulless games and cliche interviews.

I dont think anyone is upset if kassian facewashes tkachuk or throws a punch. I mean I'd still call the guy a knuckledragger but that to me is normal boiling over and part of the game. He gets a minor or two and game rolls on.
Freaking out completely and attacking a guy from behind like that has never been ok in the nhl, or really anywhere in the world.
You can have the passion and make the game interesting without risking injury to this extent.
Nhl wants to be compelling to more than just half cut mma bros from the burbs.
