Crossed checked Tkachuk into the backside of the net and got him a couple more times for good measure but the second last one or the last one went into Tkachuk side of his helmet/ear/neck area. More due to Tkachuk slipping down the net than Landeskog raising his strikes IMO.
Don't know if it's going to warrant a suspension. But Landeskog was more that just aggressive on that penalty.

He's a repeat offender for crosschecking someone in the head, he should get two to three games.

Repeat offender, got 3 games last March for a vicious crosscheck very similar to the one on Tkachuk:
I think he should get at least 4 if not more considering he’s a multiple suspension player and the latest one is a very similar infraction to what he did to Tkachuk.
Byfuglien got 4 games for a more egregious crosscheck on Miller, I would say on the face of it Landeskog's warrants two games. However, Landeskog has already been suspended twice in his career so if they decide this one is suspendable, I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple more tacked on as a repeat offender.
Targeting the head with a hockey stick should be dealt with more harshly than doing it with a body check.
Repeat offender as well.
Landeskog should get at least 5 games.
Exactly.
What did McSorley get again when he hit Brashear in the head with a slash? Ok, maybe not pre-meditated, but still vicious, so give him half of the McSorley suspension.
I found that play by Landeskog to be particularly vicious and unnecessary.

No, Landeskog will not get half of 23 games. 5 at most.
