That hit was at a camp without spectators so I'm going off how it was portrayed in the media and Tkachuk fighting him. High intensity or not, the fight between two guys that played together in their childhood likely doesn't happen if the hit is clean
Ok. That's fair, just thought maybe you'd seen something I hadn't and was curious.
We've seen a lot of examples where players think something dirty happened and a fight starts up only to see on replay there was nothing really there, all I remember is the media portraying it as taking Chabot hard into the boards, and Chabot saying he went down awkwardly, without the benefit of replay I'm a bit hesitant to assume it was dirty particularly since Brown doesn't have that reputation, but then again, as a guy that isn't typically hard hitting, maybe he was reckless because he was trying to play a more physical style that fell outside his comfort zone.
Edit, to be clear, I'm not saying it wasn't dirty, just that I don't have enough info one way or another. If you saw more media chatter that suggested it was, I'll take you at your word as I don't really have reason to believe it wasn't dirty either.
