Matthew "The Knee" Tkachuk suspension incoming?

[Score08]

Seriously. So someone is condescending to me, but I’m in the wrong for replying in the same manner, but I’m also wrong for thinking that violence isn’t the answer to more violence? By the way, “you need a time out” is a lazy argument that shows you’re out of responses.

No it just shows I realized a little late there is no advantage to continuing this pointless debate with you. I didn’t like what you said, you didn’t like what I said, so let’s just move on shall we.

Imagine defending a turtle and coming up with a weak excuse that he was "pushed into Campbell"

Imagine actually being a Tkachuk fan, how anyone can cheer for this pos is beyond me. The crap he does isn't even hockey, it's just dirty cheap shots. There's questionable hits and then there's this, it's crazy how he hasn't faced any discipline.

Even in boxing hits to the back of the head are illegal, that's with leather gloves on. This guys driving his knee into the back of his head.

I have never seen a fan base complain more about DOPS and the reffing of basically every game than Leaf fans.. they have issues with reffing basically every game. If the media and fans weren’t so vocal about it, maybe DOPS would take accusations like this one more seriously

The head had to be carried off the ice on a stretcher when he played, courteously of Colton Orr.
There is history of him being a vindictive bitch towards the leafs

Have you not heard of gravity before? It’s the thing that keeps us on the ground and from floating away.. anything in the air will come back to the ground, that’s just how it works.

Gravity is one thing but he caulked his leg and drove his knee into the goalie... gravity did not force that to happen

Do Bruins fans cheer for Marchand?
Caps fans Wilson?
Canes fans Sebastian "the silent assassin" Aho?

Yes, yes they do.

98% of hockey fans would take Tkachuck on their team. His positives outweigh his negatives. Unlike Aho, who is a mad man.

 

[MattySnipes]

Tkachuk taking lessons from Kneeordano. What a good captain.

 

[FerklundCGY]

Can we have a thread dedicated to Canadian teams bit***** and crying over everything Tkachuk does on a nightly basis?

Now that thread would be incredible entertainment.

What a beaut.

Even Marchand doesn't do shit like this. Kneeing a goalie in the back of the head. There's dirty hits and then there's this. It's not even a hockey play, not even close to being a hockey play in any sense. At least Wilsons dirty hits are still hits. This is just ridiculous. Flames fans would be crying bloody murder if someone kneed Johnny Shinny in the back of the head

What a beaut.

Even the Calgary coach sees nothing wrong with it.

 

[Del Preston]

When I saw Campbell was already hurt a few minutes earlier and was trying to play through it, I said to myself, "I hope Matthew Tkachuk doesn't accidentally fall on him. He seems to have the worst luck in these situations."

 

[McAsuno]

Only the fans of the dirty rat are defending him, while everyone else says otherwise.
Typical Tkashitbag probably learning his crap from Kneeordano.

If it smells like shit......

 

[TheGroceryStick]

But I will admit .... this Canadian rivalry gunna be fire Baybee

 

[Duffalufagus]

LMAO at the run this nonsense is getting. Tkachuk just living rent free in every fandom's heads. The goalie himself said it was nothing.

Flame away HF. Never change.

 

[4EDM14OIL93]

And the sky is blue

Lol what is your point here? How can anyone watch that zoomed in slow mo video and not see clear intent on the Tkurtle’s part?

 

[Duffalufagus]

In absolutely shocking news, no supplemental discipline. I mean, he basically tried to kill Campbell right there. How can this be?!

 

[andora]

No kidding.

@Fred Sheeran you should probably add this video to the OP.

i went back through and saw this - so why take your right foot off the ice? anyone claiming that this wasn't on purpose or at the very least careless disrespectful and wreckless is bent

 

[McAsuno]

Standing up players who are looking the other way along the boards is very dangerous. And it goes back far. This is a repeated patter for Draisaitl:



Tkachuk does not have the puck. Draisaitl stands him up and then pushes him arms into Tkachuk. Where's the Draisaitl fight?

It's a pretty repeated patter for Draisaitl to take late hits and cheap shots near the boards:



Look at this elbow on Krug:



Draisaitl has never been in an NHL fight....yet he is constantly standing other players up and hitting high. Meanwhile, Tkachuk throws a totally legal hit on Kassian, and he has to answer the bell....right....

LMAO at this attempt of deflection. Let's not forget Tkachuk slewfooting Davidson which injured him for 30+ games, or how he kicked Scheifele. The guy's one of the dirtiest players in the league. Nobody looks at Leon Draisaitl and thinks he's automatically dirty like Tkachuk. Typical flames fan defending the dirtiest rat in the league.

Live look at Flames fans insisting Tkachuk is living “rent free” in other fan bases heads.

 

[Duffalufagus]

Also, LMAO at anyone watching that reply and concluding, rather than trying to dig a puck to tie the game, Tkachuk thinks "I think I will try and injure this goalie right here". People have lost their f***ing minds.

Yeah, I bet he tried super hard to score a goal here when clearly slewfooting Marincin with 2 secs remaining in a game. Keep defending the rat, its comical to everyone aside from your fellow flames fans

 

[AvroArrow]

If you know anything about combat sports at all, I mean anything, event the smallest bit of white belt training, you would know the deadliest blow is a blow to the back of the head, especially a knee. You've obviously never been involved in a contact/combat sport looking at your comments.

 

[Duffalufagus]

neat strawman.

 

[HTFN]

Lol, he was, and then the puck was covered and he said "f*** this" and blasted off on the goalie.

That's why he was jabbing his stick at Campbell and kicking with his right foot prior to falling. Then the puck is covered, he's probably going to go down, and he elects to make Campbell pay for doing his job well. It's a frustration thing and everyone who has played sports has seen somebody do it.
