Going to be hard to run the coward narrative about Chucky if Kassians response to getting hit harder than he likes is to take a run at Johnny.

I think Looch let’s a couple heavy hits on Chucky slide. He lets nothing of the sort happen to Johnny without a nuclear response.

This whole thing would have never gotten legs if someone could teach dumbdumb how to do up a hockey helmet. Both of Tkachuks hits on dumbdumb looked worse than they were simply because dumbdumb's helmet flew off his big fat head each time.

Staples thinks its heartwarming that McDavid took a cheap shop on MT with a run from behind and then nothing

Love Gio, but I can't wait until Tkachuk is named captain.

I just dont see it happening, just my opinion and I could be totally wrong. I would give someone like Lindy the C. Keep a letter on Tkachuk but give the C to someone else so Chucky doesnt have to be worried about playing on the edge.

Yeah I don't doubt Tkachuk is a good leader and know for a fact he's a great guy, but I'm just not sure he's the best one to be advocating to the refs on the ice

[Yoho]

Tkachuk will be Capt. within 2 years imo.

I didn’t read the article but it’s not wrong. We’ve learned that those sorts of hits are legal. So all the game on the 29th is going to be is likely someone not kassian catching someone not Tkachuk with a similar hit.

I still think the game on the 29th will be built up and be terribly boring. Flames on back to back and oilers back from like 10 days off.

Are "star players" all of a sudden not allowed to be hit?

Being Tkachuks hits on Kassian were deemed to be legal, indeed every player on both the Flames and Oilers are open territory for similar hits of ferocity, which I have no issues with. Its contact hockey, keep your head up. If Kassian chooses to give hits like that on someone other than Tkachuk, go for it, as big hits should not limited to just one player.

If any player is able to hit McDavid or Johnny in the same manner, make the hit. Shouldnt take any player to do such a hit only because the team on the opposing side did the same hit prior on someone from their team. Part of hockey is intimidation and doing whatever is necessary to win. Physical play is one of them. Especially on the talented players.

Kassian and Tkachuk each serve their own purpose on respective teams, and are considered a-holes respectively. Who cares ultimately, other than performance and dare say integrity. Tkachuk is still emerging , with a huge talent to boot. Kassian is diving down a dark diminishing hole very quickly , in his stint in the NHL.

Its that simple. But its Kassian's way, he's a gutless coward who's the king of cheap shots and fighting below his weight class.


.

So, if Johnny is targeted with legal hits, the answer is to go all Kassian on McDavid?

There was no suggestion of hitting Johnny illegally.

Kassian is a big enough idiot that I wonder how nuclear he is dreaming of going next BOA

If Tkachuk keeps him in the box all night, fine. But I hope Lucic and Rinaldo are making it very clear that retribution stays to hockey plays

Which would indicate that the Oilers didn't realize they could legally bodycheck Gaudreau before this.

This may have already been posted in any one of the threads (I know the Dillon hit was but possibly not the spector article) regarding the joke of a franchise north of here, but I can't tell who is the bigger piece of garbage, Kassian or Spector. Love the hypocrisy in the video link interview. What a load of sh*t these people are.
