Tkachuk is lucky he was close enough to Eakin already, because Eakin was certainly activating that leg to stick it out, fully aware of who it was he was targeting.

I don't see how Tkachuk could have done that intentionally, especially at game speed. We're talking milliseconds to react here in order for this to be intentional.
Seriously. I don't even think Cooke on Karlsson was intentional, and that happened way slower, and Cooke is way more of a scumbag than Matthew. Unless there's an angle we haven't seen that makes it seem worse, or audio of Tkachuk saying he did it on purpose, I just can't see how this was intentional. I hope Scheifele is okay, but this looks like an unfortunate accident to me.

If David Staples thinks a thing, then you must not, under any circumstances do that thing. That thing is bad. That thing is wrong.
Any normal, humane society would have put Staples out to pasture long ago.
David Staples might be proof that there is no God, or at least not a loving and forgiving God but he also might have to fight Gene Principe for that Mantle.

Staples tweet makes me happy, only because I know how upset it's going to make him when it doesn't happen.

Tkachuk is definitely being painted as the villain. Sportsnet opened the clip with first Doughty, then Kassian and now Scheifele. How the whole Kassian thing is even lumped into this is just stupid.
