Those are hits we celebrate when Kassian makes them, especially when he was running around like a wild man in the 2017 playoffs. .


I agree with you to a point. the difference is that is Kassian goes too far he stands up for himself.

The other difference here is where the hit was made. The only reason for Tkatchuk to come down from his spot and hit an Oiler coming from behind the net is to try and injure.

I feel like anyone who hated what Kassian did has spent very little time on the ice. If you look at the times Tkachuk hit Kassian he was out of position every time.
As a tactic to get in Kassian's head I have no problem with it. The flip side is also having no problem with Kassian's reaction.

If Tkatchuk is going to leave his position numerous times to take a run at someone I expect a reaction. I am a winger. In my younger years I had a few feuds with other wingers. Outside of crossing paths in the neutral zone there isnt a lot of opportunities during the game to go head to head. If someone chased me around this way I would have started the lawnmower on his face as well.

Maybe I am just getting old and stuck in the old traditions of hockey but I see little wrong with what either guy did.



Do you not have to account for the state of the league and the impact on the game though? I wouldn't mind what Kassian did, if it didn't mean 4 mins (could have been 5 IMO) and a likely suspension. THere was certainly a time in the NHL when cheap little rats would get tuned for doing anything close to what Tkachuk was. Unfortunately, these days, you're really gonna screw your team over if you look for the immediate revenge, especially against a little douche that you know will just turtle and leave you swinging risking a solo 5 min major. And there is really no long term benefit to doing that either, because Tkachuk is laughing and he will happily try to do it again next game.

I hope Kassian gets the chance to throw his own sneaky hits next game. Maybe go for Gaudreau instead.
