Agreed, however but since the DOPS & Parros are incompetent he will most likely get a $5000 fine if that.

Unfortunately the only Kings player(Lemieux) who would have went that route was stuck on the bench.

If Tkachuk gets suspended for not hitting someone’s eye, then Quick should be suspended for diving like his eye popped out , flopping so hard he turned a Lady Byng into Rambo, and then causing a dangerous scrum in which a skate could have potentially ruptured someone’s artery. The commonality of suspension is that nothing happened and both are punished for a hypothetical, which is fair.
Tkachuk tried to injure Quick after the whistle was blown, how are you trying to defend this lol. He's a piece of shit doing piece of shit things, that's such a dangerous thing to do. I'm honestly shocked he hasn't had his face caved in yet for the shit he pulls. League seriously needs to do something about him before a player loses it and takes matters into his own hands. Their inability to protect players from cheapshots has always led to dangerous retaliatory plays.

You should talk to people who have lost an eye in work place accidents, or because of the malicious or negligent actions of another.

Because trying to poke someone's eye out is equivalent to overreacting when someone tries to poke your eye out.

To poke him in the eye he would have had to rip off his mask, or start jamming the butt end of his stick in there. This was him probably tapping his cage to irritate him. Guys get hit harder in the boards and we don’t say “he was trying to break all the bones in his body”. Guys eyes are more at risk in fistfights.

This might be the most absurd post I have ever seen on here. Intent should always be punished accordingly. For what reason other than to injure Quick, did Tkachuk angle his stick and put into Quicks mask?
I dont believe it hit his eye directly, but its not unreasonable to assume it made contact with his face.

Rasmussen got 2 games for reckless use of the stick on what was an attempt at a hockey play.
This is an intentional non-hockey play after the whistle from a player who had done the “accidentally on purpose” stick to a player’s face in the past.
It should be a multi game suspension but because Quicks eyeball wasn’t skewered, who knows. The DoPS is content to wait until these dirty plays result in serious injury before they hand out an appropriate suspension.

It’s also not unreasonable to assume that yes, Tkachuk wanted to mess with Quick by tapping his cage, which should be a penalty, but also that there was no serious intent to actually destroy Quicks eyeball, since Quick is wearing a face shield that protects his face and eyes. It’s also not unreasonable to assume that Quick turned it into a Oscar worthy performance.

Agreed, and what other reason other than attempting to injure a player would he angle his stick and move it towards Quicks head.
It's quite unreasonable to assume Tkachuk just wanted to tap his cage. He knows where the eye holes are.

Fan of neither team here -
1 game absolute max.
He's not trying to injure Quick. If he was trying to injure him there are about a million better ways to do that. It's a dirty little play but hes clearly just trying to agitate and get under Quicks skin. He uses zero force what so ever, wasnt even looking at where he put his stick, just wanted it to get in Quick's grill. However, since it did get Quick in the eye, I would give him a game to try to deter it from happening again.

That's some incredible hand eye if he was trying to hit him in the eye without even looking at Quick when it happened

I think that’s a reasonable argument but because Tkachuk has previously jabbed a player in the face on a similar play, it should be no less than 2 games.
He clearly didn’t get the message from the fine that jabbing your stick at a players face is not a safe way to agitate someone.
Quick defended Brendan Lemieux after Lemieux bit a Tkachuk hand last year. Now, Quick gets a poke and we are supposed to believe that it's the end of the world. Grow up dude.

That's fair - should definitely be an appropriate suspension relative to his history
