Kassian is getting a hearing for the instigator play. League says Tkachuk hits were legal on a puck carrier, so nothing for him. First hit I think was borderline, but watching again, he does get the shoulder first, which causes Kassian's head to whip a bit, and he doesn't do up his strap properly, so the helmet goes flying. Next 2 hits were to the side, the one leading to the fight Kassian was bent over again causing another spin and loose helmet ejection, hehe.
Hope Kassian isn't suspended 3+ games, or be misses his chance to redeem himself in the next BOA.

Classic NHL when it comes to Oilers, Oiler gets his head targeted, which is itself a suspension, refs choose not to call it, so he's required to protect himself, and the OILER gets the freaking hearing..
Lesson learned, if you're going to get suspended for protecting yourself, because the league won't, then you might as well make it count, take the 15 game and put him on the LTIR.

I don't even disagree with the league suspending Kassian - obviously, the league doesn't want a precedent where you can just pummel an opponent who isn't fighting back. While in this case there was a pretty good reason to punch Tkachuk repeatedly, if it's allowed, it makes it harder to suspend someone where a John Scott goes after a Phil Kessel.
I also think there's times when something is worth taking a suspension over. I have no real issue with Kassian taking one here to rain down some frontier justice on Tkachuk. I'm pretty supportive actually, although like Tippett, I think Kassian could have chosen his spot better - wait until one team is up a couple goals and then take him out...even if it's next game. And maybe have another player start a scrum first, in order to give an opportunity to really ding him.
But I do dislike that the league feels that Tkachuk can do no wrong. Is there anyone else who's been so often forgiven by the league for borderline hits? He seems to get the same kid gloves that anyone from the Boston Bruins gets from Player Safety. Is Parros buddies with his dad or something?

Saw a clip of the Raffi Torres hit on Jarret Stoll. Identical hit, connects with shoulder first, then head. 6 game suspension.

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.
