I don't know about Marchand—he has a pretty storied history of cheap shots. But I like where you are going with this: a "dirty" player should be one who flouts the rules in an effort to gain an advantage, and I sure don't see Tkachuk doing that. He is a relentless agitator, which is quite different in my books.
