Matthew "The Knee" Tkachuk suspension incoming?

[FMichael]

Forget about the knee. Suspend the entire Flames roster for wearing those uniforms. We want retro 24/7/365.

This right here...These new 3rd jerseys suck balls, and I have no clue why the Flames would keep them in circulation...The ‘Blasty’ sucks too.

Best to stick with their retro 80s home/away.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

One day he'll get the longest suspension in NHL history if he doesn't smarten up.

 

[Dache]

If Tkachuk is not suspended for Tuesday's game maybe he will need to have a fight with Wayne Simmonds.

Why would you encourage violence?

 

[PanniniClaus]

I like violence where necessary... i can explain ..........anything

 

[The Man with a Plan]

Time to see Simmonds drop the gloves and then TSN can have a 15 min segment about his fight and leadership B.S. Bogosian had a chance to respond and he barely shoved him off.

Well since no call was going to be made on Tbag the only thing that Bogo could do he did... if he grabbed that little prick and gave him a man beating the leafs would be down a man (and knowing the way dpos is he'd end up suspended himself somehow ) and the flames would have a chance to change the outcome of a 4 pt game.

Better to wait and feed him his lunch as he has to face us another 8 times.. this tuesday being next.

Enjoy feeling like kings for a day after beating the lowly nucks.

Matthew Tkachuck could cure AIDS and there is a contingent here that would complain that he was mean to AIDS.

On the contrary....Matthew Tkachuck could murder a puppy and there would be a contingent to defend him.

 

[Sonk]

The guy should probably focus on playing hockey, he’s been horseshit at that so far this year. Only produces on the PP, and not dangerous at all.

Doubt he wastes his time fighting a scrub like Simmonds though

 

[The Man with a Plan]

Why would you encourage violence?

Because karma is justice without thw satisfaction.

Dont pull that victim card bs
Live by the sword... better be prepared to die by it.

 

[iCanada]

Being who he is, you can't completely discount the possibility of it being intentional.

Of course it was intentional. He's lost his "oh no I accidentally hurt a guy" excuse like 10 guys ago.

 

[34]

Dirty play, intent to injure. Someone is going to seriously take Tkachuk’s head off one of these games. He needs to learn to take a loss like a man. No need for that BS theatrics.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

How many games did Burrows get for kneeing Hall when he was down?

Double that.

 

[Dache]

Because karma is justice without thw satisfaction.

Dont pull that snowflake victim card bs
Live by the sword... better be prepared to die by it.

So then who should fight Simmonds after? Wouldn’t it be better for the guilty people to be suspended or banned?

 

[34]

He pulls his knee back 45 degrees and drops it on his head.

He sure did. That was 100% intentional.

Maybe Wayne Simmonds fist will end up across Tkachuk’s chin “accidentally” next game.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

I think it was intentional but there's no one of the Leafs who will make him pay

I guess Simmonds?

 

[HTFN]

I remember when I discovered hockey. Nobody should fight Simmonds for a fight that is just wiping the slate clean.

 

[volcom92886]

Clearly intentional. Should be 10+ games as it was intent to injure and a non hockey play. DoPS and Parros will look the other way however

Simmonds can KO him easily. Simmonds can really throw em’ ...and has fought many heavyweights.

Tkachuk will run away like a little girl though. He is more into the cheap shots after the whistle.

The men playing know he f***ed up and broke the code. Everyone knows what happens when you cross the line.

In a perfect world the DOPS would do their job but as we all know thats about as likely to happen as Gary dropping dead tomorrow.

They created DOPS and due to its inability to protect anything but the byline that the league truly doesnt give a shit this is what happens. Players will be forced to take things into their own hands and start handing out their own form of justice.

Unfortunately it doesn’t always work that way. And it’s a sad way to look at things. I have no love lost for Tkachuk, this behavior has no business in anything. But just wishing someone gets punched because of it is juvenile. I am glad you discovered hockey though. Great that the game is growing.

let's hope

Alternative angel:

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

The league should suspend him and make a statement that any questionable play when the outcome of a game is no longer in doubt will be suspended and players better try their best to avoid anything that could be construed as illegal or they risk suspension.

 

[Mazatt]

No kidding.

I'm so confused. This play clearly shows and even magnifies the part where his leg is pushed out causing him to fall on Campbell. So now he's falling, and no matter what he does with that leg there is going to be contact with the head unless he does the splits mid-air. Once he's falling, from his foot being bent around and pushed, there isn't much that can be done and this angle shows that, and shows the leg comes down on the head no matter what, he just tucks the leg. The intentional part is whether Campbell gets a shin to the head which isn't good, or if he gets all of Tkachuk's body weight from his hips into his head.

 

[Seras]

Dirty, rough, brutal is all part of the game, but rarely do you see a player trying to hurt another player, Matthew looks like he is trying to hurt people out there at times.
