Its because he JUST got suspended for a very similar thing. Betcha he gets 3-5 if he does it again

Imo it's more about the timing of the taps.

I know he needs to get something, but the first is a fine, the second is a game imho... Oh well whatever, the judges will overlook this injustice and he'll still win the Lady Byng.

I just dont understand what the DOPS is doing.

Head shots, Okay
Knee on Knee, Okay
Light tap to Shin, NOT OKAY
Spear to gut (no injury but chickenshit), NOT OKAY

idk man, PLAYER SAFETY doesnt seem to be their motivation.

Tbf the suspension on the cross check to tkachuk a while back was only because of the contact with head / neck. Head violations are generally cracked down on

barkov??

Must be new then, can't be a joke league otherwise!


Also Horvat out 6weeks minimum

well, Parros is trying to teach Tkachuk that he isn't still in the juniors, the NHL doesn't allow that garbage

It's just so random what they punish. I felt they had kinda got away from the "Wheel of Justice" but it's back this year



I agree it was chicken shit and unsportsmanlike, but I also think Tkachuk has gotten 2 of the softest and most questionable suspensions ever in the past 2 weeks.

barkov out, more info today later
