Can anyone explain how Tkachuck takes a nice whack at someone and the ref is fine with it.
2 seconds later, he receives the same slash and all of a sudden his slash is a penalty?

Why is the action ok and then not ok after someone else's action?
This really is how the NHL always has been. The refs sometimes will let stuff go until it escalates just a notch higher. Tkachuk tried to punch Bertuzzi while he was on his knees and Bertuzzi slashes him back. I don't mind the refs letting the mutual stick work go initially but then jump on it to cool it down a bit when it amps up a little too far.

"Krejci cuts to the middle..." How many times we've heard that over the years. Gonna be weird not hearing it anymore after this year. He's such a master of that move...

That was the shaft of the stick across the forehead.

Exactly, this is what “game management” actually means. The refs on the ice warn guys and watch for things getting out of control.
