Having a "reaction" in the form of what he did to Tkachuk certainly screams (pun intended) psycho.
Most people would get ragdolled around because that level of abrupt physically rage would come so unexpectedly if you're just chugging along doing your thing.
Imagine someone reacting that way because you one upped him at work a few times. He has a few screws loose no doubt.
And many in Edmonton celebrate that behavior. And that's ####ed.
If you ran that sequence five times, once or twice it results in a bad injury to the guy on the receiving end.
Anyway this is the Robinson thread but yeah it's worth pointing out repeatedly how mindblowingly wrong a lot of people got it that chimed in.
Hopefully buddy doesn't have to deal with any illegal antics in his potentially first game.
I don't think that's a strong argument when you consider that Jarome had a smile that could light up a house but could also go toe-to-toe with anyone in the league.
He could take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile.

I hope no one fights Kassian. The Flames dont need to humor that caveman. He should be legally sent through the end boards over and over until he takes a dumb instigator penalty is thrown out of the game and suspended for 10 games. Buddy and Chucky and Rinaldo and Lucic can all take turns if they want. A hit is a hit if its legal he cant call it predatory when he is the one putting himself in that position.

You really think the plan is to put a 28-year-old AHLer with only seven NHL games to his credit on one of the top-two lines? It seems to me that most obviously this is all about rewarding the player. It follows a pattern the team has taken all season with their minor leaguers.
You don't get it obviously.
After 7 seasons in the minors, Robinson is now absolutely, positively brimming with confidence.
He cannot, HE WILL NOT, be denied his 17 minutes of icetime in his 8th NHL game! He's too damn cocksure!

Yeah, just goad the guy until he does something stupid and gets tossed. Shouldn't be too hard.

I'm saying I'd be way more afraid to fight Robinson in a bare knuckle fight.
I'd be afraid to be in the same room as Kassian if there were any sharp objects in view.

Well they didn't necessarily plan to do it, but they did end up trying it
It didn't look too bad actually. Loved the buddy chants.

It is still early to say for sure, but he looks like a player. Might just be the energy and excitement for him, but he did his job and then some all night long. He was fast, physical and skilled - beat guys to the puck, used his size really well, and helped to generate some offensive chances. Almost scored as well. Played on the PK to boot, and even in the last minute of the game. I would like to see how he performs after 10 games at least, but he unquestionably looked like a real NHL'er last night.

Then I suggest anyone intimidated look at his actual fights on video. Not too impressive.
I just watched most of his fights on Hockeyfights and he is a brutal fighter. He jumps guys, throws punches after the linesmen get in, majority of his wide lefts hit the guys in the back. As soon as he has to square up with guys that can actually fight he is grabbing pants, waiting for linesmen etc. All the typical idiot fighting. Daniel Carcillo beat this idiot in a fight.

But the tough part, that can be debated.
