Tkachuk is a pest, similar to Perry, Marchand, etc.

My thing is, his antics if he doesn't cool it are going to wear thin in Florida. He's fine for now, but consider that Florida is in win now mode and won't have the picks or prospects to make an all-in trade deadline push. He's going to be heavily relied on to produce, if he's suspended or thrown off his game then that's going to be a problem.

He's in a less pressure market so maybe I'm overreacting here. We'll see.

Sens 18 goals in first 3 home games. Not bad, not bad.

But the point of this post is, holy hell the Coyotes (today’s opponent) have next to no players.

Chiarot two hands on the stick, cross checks a Ducks player straight in the back, pushing him head first into the boards. The refs vision wasnt impeded and its was within 5 feet of the ref. nothing.

announcers: thats what Chiarot brings, that physical element.

Ah yes, classic NHL. From the refs not seeing something illegal right in front of them, to the aggressor being cheered on.

Something something toughness, something something clean hit.

Canes player hits a guy, 2 minutes for roughing.
Or in the case of the last game with Svech and his stick being held, he's penalized for pushing the guy to get him to let go, but not the Calgary guy.

A penalty for retaliating against a guy that wasn't penalized. They always call the retaliation against illegal plays. That's another classic NHL move that should be on a bingo card.

that Colorado power play is something to behold. Makar, MacKinnon, Rantanen, Nichushkin (sp?) and Lehkonen. Wow.
