Matthew "The Knee" Tkachuk suspension incoming?

[The Man with a Plan]

All these Edmonton fans are so unbiased.

How about the actual league officials, who have decided not to do anything about this play, as it was a nothing play.

Saying that its ok because the refs are blind and the DoPS has proven to be as effective as a AA meeting at a bar means nothing.

But keep talking like that.
You will be whining like a kid when its flipped around and someone takes a player of yours and stomps him with no repercussions.

So your argument is he pulls back his leg and drives it forward because of Brodie?

Brodie trips his legs and pulls his stick back, pulling out Tkachuk's ankles. Brodie's stick is still in Tkachuk's ankle at the moment he hits the ground. When someone using a hockey stick to pull your ankles back, and you have forward momentum, yes you will fall forward onto your knees.

Did you just call me an Edmonton fan? Nope, try again. Bruins fan, only clicked on this thread because I thought it was going to see another over reaction by leaf fans to some slight against them. But this clear as day a dickbag move, and anyone trying to explain the physics, and gravity and all this other crap about it not being a straight knee drop to the head is embarrassing themselves. Just stop already.

Lol. Okay let's just take the call away from the refs and officials and leave it up to the experts then....fans of opposing teams on a hockey message board.

Don't be ridiculous. The NHL are clueless morons. When a game breaks out into a war because the idiots refuse to officiate the games properly they will probably be too damn stupid to understand why. And don't forget Dops is run by a guy with only 1 and a half brain cells left.

Uh huh. Your leg like totally cocks back and drives forward. That always happens when I fall.

Does DOPS ever leave it to the officials or do they review video afterwards? Do officials ever miss calls?

 

[Richard]

Tkachuk def did that on purpose.

Funny thing is the biggest black marks on hockey almost always stem from people not being held accountable earlier.

The flames will feel the wrath of Jason Spezza.

 

[Craig Button]

Well, I imagine, when the Leafs try to have the media create a storyline, people tend to become defensive.

Yet again Leafs are over exaggerating, just like when they were p***yes about Matthews being cross checked in front of the net.

Sorry...I must have missed that. When did the DOPS say anything about this?

I'm sure the Flames are terrified. Is Spezza going to sprinkle his bone dust on Tkachuk and bore him with meandering stories about the war? At least make the threat credible, like Simmonds.

The poster was totally being serious. Your sarcasm detector isn't broken at all.

that’s a big reach

talk about disingenuous.

 

[User1996]

Sometimes I think the wiser action is to not do anything to the perpetrator, rather target one of his undeserving teammates. Then his teammates can sort it out with him. So long as he knows the why.

This doesn’t happen

Who said they did? Are you having trouble following?

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

I know but sometimes think it might deliver a message more effectively.

Is the stick there or not? Brodie is a professional athlete. He' strong.

The only one reaching....is Brodie....with his stick into Tkachuk's legs.

 

[Helistin]

Brutal. Can't get much worse than that.

Hits to the back of the head and spine are even illegal in MMA due to risk of paralyzing injury.

 

[4thline]

Tkachuk def did that on purpose.

Yup, the only question is "what" did he do on purpose

Given his general spinelessness there's an argument to be made that the fall and landing on Campbell was on purpose, but that getting his left leg under himself as quickly as possible wasn't malicious, he was just turtling into the fetal position as quickly as possible. After all, he's not exactly the type to let something unimportant as another player's safety standing between him and cowering in fear

 

[Draiskull]

Imagine the suspension if it was Kassian doing this instead.

And forgive me for not putting all my trust into the “league officials”. Just because someone has the word ‘official’ next to their name doesn’t mean they are qualified. For several years now DOPS has pretty much proven to be at best ineffective, and at worst complicit by allowing some of these trash plays to go unpunished. The only thing that’s missing is one of those old goofy shannahan video breakdowns where he explains the gravitational effect and the earths rotation that caused the unintended knee drop.

The stick is it between his legs?

I’ve seen players battle infront of the net dozens of times in a game in thousands of games. I can’t recall anyone ever lifting their legs like that and land their knee at the back of the head of a goaltender.

I appreciate your effort with mental gymnastics. But dude, seriously

Are you seriously saying that the ONLY people that see its obviously an attempt to injure a key member of a top divisional rival are leaf fans?

Its been everyone BUT flames fans who has said that. Actually thata n9t true as 8ve aeen a number of flames fans who agree it was cheap dirty and suspendable. Get a clue
