Tkachuk dropped like he was cross checked in the neck. Total dive

 

[Balthazar]

He'll probably get suspended because of history. It does look like Tkachuk took a dive though.

 

[madmike77]

Given that he’s a repeat offender he’ll get a game or two. He’d already isolated Tkachuk behind the net out of harm’s way. The shot to the head was completely unnecessary.

Isn’t tkachuk known for being a diver now? Deserves a fine.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

i thought he would get a call after seeing it live last night. hopefully its just a fine, but i doubt it.

 

[Freudian]

When someone gets buckled they don't touch their face before going down. Tkachuk sold it with everything he has. Extra points for the little roll to his back.

Didnt look intentional but Upchuck sold it hard

 

[The Grim Reaper]

10-games.

 

[wandk128]

Not intentional? Did we see the same incident? Wasn't close to a hockey play. That said, anything more than 1 game is too much. Just a fine seems acceptable too, though I wish the maximum fine wasn't laughably small

 

[PatrikBerglund]

C'mon, it's Tkachuk.


He is a weasel, [mod].

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

to get a medal I assume

 

[dechire]

Between him and Tkachuk it's not Tkachuk that has the worst reputation. How many times does Landeskog need to cross-check other players in the head before he learns it's against the rules ?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Landy is 1 of the more underrated dirty players in the league... hopefully they give a few games.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Good. Landeskog's a dirty player.

That’s your hot take on this?

Nothing about Landeskog?

Lol tkachuk will now get the corey perry treatment on hfboards... maybe not as bad yet but soon.

 

[VicVinegar]

1 game each.

 

[Nsjohnson]

Landy, a player who is lite-dirty, and always on the line, will get a game.

 

[madmike77]

Didnt look intentional but Upchuck sold it hard

He intentionally cross checked him high multiple times. I don’t think he meant to get him in the head or neck, but the league wants players to be more reposnsible with their sticks.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

Landy definitely took an extra shot because of who it was, but Tkachuk was at a ninety degree angle bent forward too. 0 chance he meant to cross check him in the neck/face area. Fine at most.

 

[SirPaste]

Probably get a game or two, Landeskog is known for being a dirty player

 

[ThirdManIn]

I don't know why people can't bring themselves to thinking a player dived while simultaneously recognizing that the other player did something pretty dirty. One thing doesn't negate the other, but nuance is a dying art.

 

[Critical13]

I'd give both players a game.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Dirty but also embellished.
