Matthew "The Knee" Tkachuk suspension incoming?

[axlrose87]

That’s what you get for expecting Bogosian to be some tough Dman. Us Sabres fans tried to tell you he wasn’t, but you didn’t wanna listen because he won a Cup with the Lightning.

Nothing a player does as a Sabre counts.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

No kidding.

Like Jesus he drives his knee right into Campbell's head. And people have the gall to defend him.

 

[Spazkat]

The level of stretching that some flames fans do to defend this guy is ridiculous. You can see his leg go up and then he instantly drives it down on Campbell's back. The fact that this guy has history makes this clear and cut for me. Honestly, what a POS play by him.

So many of the justifications sounds just like when Gio does his "oopsie I totally accidentally took someone's knee out (again)" thing

That video shows him losing balance before falling

Intent to injure..should be minimum 5 games but probably will get 0..

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Well, 2016 Flames team has roughly the same core as today. Even going back two years my statement is true.

Same core? The core players of the Flames are soft.

Regardless, same core or not the Flames are currently 29th in hits/game. They aren't the Flames of years past.

And yet they were 6th in playoffs last year. I’m sorry but I’m taking the flames over leafs any day of the weeks for “toughness”

 

[Jeti]

Hopefully a few games. He's a POS that needs to learn to just play hockey and drop the extra crap.

I would’ve liked Bogo to cave his face in but at that stage of the game with less than a minute left and only up by one he wouldn’t want to take a retaliation penalty and put the Flames on the power play. For the situation he did about all he could.

my bad, I only saw these clips, I didn’t know the game situation. I suppose that dictated the response, but I still wanted someone to pound his face for that. Not saying it would be right but I could almost understand if he did it to anyone else on the ice, but you can’t let that happen to your goalie. This guy, and scumbag plays like this is why hockey still needs fighting. Sorry but that’s just my opinion I know it’s not very popular.

 

[Critical13]

If no suspension, I’d like to see him Simmonds go.

I probably would too, but neither team is the least bit tough so that's not saying much of anything.

 

[hockeyes]

This is one of the easiest black and white suspensions the league should make, so they probably won't even look at it.

I didn’t see this earlier, but is he actually jumping on his head with both knees? The left knee for sure, but it looks like both in this clip .

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Hes been good. Nice try.

So he’s been someone dropping the gloves when someone takes a cheap shot? He’s been constantly trucking people?

He can skate, and will get some points. But he’s not a tough clear the crease guy. That or he refused to do that in Buffalo despite making $5.5M a year.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

Pick your poison,
Simmonds, Bogosian or muzzin.

True. Everyone seems to suck once they play for them and then all of a sudden become decent once they leave

 

[BM14]

Pick your poison,
Simonds, Bogosian or muzzin.

Why choose?

3 different games, 3 different tilts. Tune the p***y up.

 

[BM14]

Just wait for Josh Allen to leave lol.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Just wait for Josh Allen to leave lol.

I couldn’t care less. I’m a Buccaneers fan. The only Buffalo teams I like are the Sabres and the Toronto Buffalo Jays.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Does NO ONE see 11(?) in white literally push Tkachuk down with his stick?

His stick doesn't even move?

 

[KCC]

Yeah, that was on purpose. Should be a few games.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Since we are playing the flames next, I hope so lol

Would think that Price would have assault him after that, for sure
Price was mean AF when he was younger and he still has an edge in him

 

[The Man with a Plan]

I prefer “frontier justice”...

Karma is just justice without the satisfaction

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

And he'll step up for that fight, if needed. But I don't think there was any intent and both teams will have forgotten about it by Tuesday's puck drop

Don't think so. Hate to say it but one of the things I was most looking forward to with this Canadian Division (and it's probably the same for all the Divisions) is the physicality that is sure to arise from playing the same teams over and over. (but I'm not excited to see this type of stuff)

But we'll see.

I hope Campbell is alright, he got that knee right on the plate of his helmets back part. I've never worn a goalie mask but I'd imagine that is not a soft blow.

I would not be surprised if Campbell had his brains scrambled a bit there.

Don't care if there's a suspension though. But I do know that if Kadri was still on the Leafs and had this exact same video evidence, he'd get suspended for sure.

Muzzin?

Thanks for the chuckle. Might as well have said Marner.
