It wasn't that bad as it seemed like a soft jab. But there's no way the league can let this go without a suspension. You can't set a precedence that players can take liberties from the bench without reprecussion.

Yeah, Tkachuk gets suspended here. Doing something like that from the bench is completely un-necessary.

Oh, I know you didn't. Hence the attempted murder analogy.
But no, you're absolutely right, let's completely absolve the kid of any wrong-doing simply because it didn't turn out that bad for Matt Martin. If you didn't get the crux of my previous post, (or this one) I really can't help you.

He should get 2 games. DPoS is run by monkeys so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a fine.

Tkachuk is rapidly entering the Sean Avery realm of idiocy and sideshow joke.
The league is a better place without clowns like this guy

Offseason Is The Worst Season
Agreed about the unsportsman like. I can't see a situation that he doesn't get suspended. The bar has been set for engaging off the bench, and although this was pretty harmless I think the league gives him at least a game.
And because if his stupid mistake earlier vs detroit....hes a repeat offender....both involving bench incidents
Now his first was a nothing tap except it involved a player on the bench and more importantly inflamed a situation....was a good suspension to let players know you cant do things to players on the bench or from a bench
1-2 gms(possibly 2 gms to send a warning)
This would be his 3 suspension in a year and half......(I get the det one is protocol suspension but a supension nonetheless)

Yes lets get rid of talented guys who don't do anything wrong.
Anyone who takes a penalty should be banned for life.
I actually understand you significantly less now, actually. If you know my post wasn't about intent, then why was your analogy about intent? And what bad do you think could have potentially come to Matt Martin from such a vicious attack?
Essentially, do you think he meant to hurt him? And how bad do you think it could have hurt, in a worst case scenario?
spearing

I think you could also consider it leaving the bench. although he never left the bench, his stick sure did.

penalty bench illegally during an altercation or for the purpose of
starting an altercation from either or both teams shall be suspended

but this one here. this one is the obvious no argument needed. this happened.
46.16 Third Man In - A game misconduct penalty, at the discretion of the
Referee, shall be imposed on any player who is the first to intervene

This rule also applies to subsequent players who elect to intervene

Generally, this rule is applied when a fight occurs

I love that the fan base defending this is the same one that cries murder anytime someone looks at Gaudreau the wrong way.

No one said anything about getting rid of guys who don't do anything wrong.
He's talking about Tkachuk. The guy who is likely about to get his third suspension in his first season and a half in the NHL.

My post mentioned intent because you conveniently left it out of your original post. Now, let's actually have a conversation with some substance.
I do in fact think Tkachuk meant to hurt him. Have you been speared before? And please, don't bother responding with some meaningless anecdote about a toy lightsaber, answer the question directly.
It doesn't take a tremendous amount of force for someone to hurt you by spearing you in the stomach/groin with a hockey stick. I've been speared before, it isn't pleasant.
It really does seem that you're arguing just for the sake of arguing, or, you just have an affinity for dirty players and feel obligated to defend them.

Sorry to pick on your post but I refuse to read the rest of the thread as I'm sure there's a lot of banter back and forth. But when are we going to stop using the word minor when addressing the actions of a repeat offender such as Tkachuk.
