Bruins' Maroon: Tkachuk fought dirty vs. Pastrnak
Maroon felt that Tkachuk broke a fighting code by delivering a few punches to Pastrnak after the Bruins winger had fallen to the ice.
"Obviously I don't like how he hit him on the ground twice. I think that's dirty," the veteran winger said. "It's the game within the game, but I don't like the aftermath of it."
Maroon said that he'd be careful about exacting retribution against Tkachuk and that it likely would not be through another fight.
"I mean, Tkachuk's not going to fight me. If I go out there and take a dumb penalty and they got a power play, my job's not accomplished. So can't look at it like that. I just got to take numbers," he said. "I mean listen, let's be realistic: I'm probably never playing against Tkachuk anyway."
