I think the funny thing is that everybody is talking about Tkachuk while this was by far the dirtiest play in yesterday's game...Simmonds was penalized on the play, but I was fearing the worst for Eat Bread.

Well, the key difference you see is that he was penalized. There's an argument for supplimental disc. but I've given up at this point in arguing what does and doesn't deserve that but at least that shit was called.

/I'm not even 100% that Tkachuk meant to do anything bad. I just think it's fucked up that someone would see that and be like "yeah, that's some good shithousing" in this day and age.

I can certainly understand if Leafs fans are upset, I don't think Tkachuk really put up much of an effort to stop himself from falling on Campbell. Only he knows if he meant to fall on Campbell, but he's certainly not going to get the benefit of the doubt based on prior history.

I would just like him to apologize to Jack because Jack is a very nice guy and nobody should even come close to hurting him.

Everybody who scores on him should also buy him a chocolate shake after the game.

Of course, the thing I worry about is somebody like Simmonds taking a run at Markstrom who is the Flames meal ticket.

/I really don't think it will happen and I like Simmonds (a few years ago he was a premier power forward in this league).

There was talk about that if Tkachuk refused to fight Simmonds on the basis of it not being like-for-like talent-wise but the Leafs are so thin at forward right now they can't risk losing another due to suspension. And TBF I'm not sure they'll even bother trying for a fight. It's just not worth it, especially if Campbell is as okay as he said he was.

The CODE says Campbell is fair game!

That fucking sucks. Sure would love to have Aaron Dell right now.

Freddy needs to be on the fucking ball and healthy. If I have to deal with another season of Hutchinson I'm done.

He’s not very good?

Im no Bogosian fan but there’s very little separating him and Dermott. Leafs just have the depth and there’s no reason to lose it - just so happens that this is the year where the blue line is the only totally healthy place on the ice for Toronto.
