If you’ve been living under a rock this past week, you might have missed the two controversial hits Flames’ forward Matthew Tkachuk threw on Oilers’ forward Zack Kassian.
Hit #1:
With the officials not calling a penalty on the first or second hit, Kassian took the law into his own hands relentlessly wailing on Tkachuk:
For his role as aggressor/instigator, Zack Kassian earned himself a 2 game suspension. But that didn’t stop other players, past and current, to speak out against Tkachuk’s hits, including Scottie Upshall, Teemu Selanne, and James Neal.
Either way, it led to some great post game locker room interviews from Kassian and Tkachuk:
Ray Shero was let go by the struggling Devils. The boys reviewed some of his moves over the years.
Sidney Crosby makes his return to the Pens lineup Tuesday night.
And Brad Marchand lives every hockey players worst nightmare, losing the games for the Bruins by missing the puck at center ice on his way in for a shootout attempt…
But then proceeded to post a pic of him kissing the Cup before responding to one of his haters…
