Matthew "The Knee" Tkachuk suspension incoming?

[Throw More Waffles]

I think it was most certainly an intentional knee. But as an old school hockey kind of guy, I’m already getting over it. Leafs should give him a hard time tonight then move on with their lives.

Well Campbell will be out for weeks because of this dirty play and that should warrant a suspension.

yes, definitely a dirty play. But to be fair, Campbell hurt his leg before this incident.

I honestly havnt seen him play enough to know any better. I swear he lays out the big hits so I thought he would maybe be that kind of guy atleast

He’ll sporadically do it but it seems more like an accident than intentional.

But maybe making league minimum instead of the $5.5M he was making takes all the pressure off him and he becomes “good”.

The hyperbole in this thread is on another level. By reading some of these comments you would think he took his skate off and slashed a throat.

Was Tkachuk being annoying? Yes, it's what he does.

Is there an attempt to injure? Absolutely not, he fell on the goalie- this literally happens all the time. Even Campbell himself brushed it off as nothing. It's a contact sport for crying out loud. There is about 5-6 plays a game that are way more dangerous than this.

No there really isn't. You'll only believe this if you have no understanding of how badly things can go South hitting that area of the body.

No he won't

If he starts headhunting that will end up with him and someone else suspended. He took put our backup goalie intentionally no doibt about it. Coming back for seconds has to be dealt with or the league will have an issue with the PA.

The lowly Nucks just embaressed one of the teams that beat you this season. What was the excuse for the loss against the lowly Senators?

1967, unless you were alive and saw that great cup parade, wait until you actually see a Stanley Cup parade or just win a damn playoff series before you start chirping other fan bases.

54 damn years man... NO playoff success in 16 years... man that is pathetic.

You know whats pathetic?
All you can come up with is 1967.
Yes I did see that cup actually if you really want to know.

You obviously havent been watching long enough as you still havent figured out that every team has an off day. Even on our off day we still kick your ass.

This should be a good game, might watch over the oilers-jets.

 

[The Man with a Plan]

I saw the game, I applauded Spezza, Leafs are my team, but I don't think him getting beat up is what will teach Tkachuk a lesson.

Jesus that was a joke when i threw him in. The other two are nothing to laugh at tho.

Good to know NHL that it is okay to jump on another player's neck when they are down. Apparently it is within the rules and spirit of the game
