Call me crazy, but if Tkachuk isn't the guy back-checking hard on the play and the end result isn't a devastating injury for Scheifele, this doesn't get any where near this much attention.

Scheifele is prob my favorite non-Canuck, and Tkachuk is a cheap player at the best of times, but that was 100% an accident.

Very little talk about that dirty hit by Eakin last night on Tkachuk - That red headed stepchild better keep his heal on a swivel in game 2.

The second angle they show makes it look bad, doesn't look like he's bracing himself or attempting to change direction.

Bizarre skate raise and angle going into the boards. Was tkachuk trying to break his own ankle?

I think he was quoted as saying he lost his own balance (speed wobble) which resulted in the skate raise. Last game of the day played on questionable ice on a hot August day doesn't help matters.

Listen, I think we all know what’s needed here is a forensic investigation.

Someone get me Eugene Melnyk on the horn!

Yah probably, get a piece of his leg locked to the boards so hes out of the play

cross checked scheifele in the back earlier in the shift

Yeah, he sure did - Surprised he got away with that one.

So really this is all the referees’ fault.

lol - Not saying that exactly, but you wonder if Tkachuk is in the sinbin for that cross-check and if the Jets capitalize on the ensuing PP if it takes some pep out of Matt's step

Oh I’m definitely saying it. They let shit go and bad shit happens. Example: Leafs-Bruins game 2 last season.

If they assert control early on players stay safe which is kind of their jobs to do.

You know, on the one hand it's comical and on the other hand it's pretty sad that the Flames coach has to release the following statement to defend his player that did nothing wrong except for being hard on the back check.

I think that's exactly what he was doing. Reckless but not intentional.

Nice chicken wing elbow Ehlers.

JFC Lucic - Wide open net and he shoots it into the glass. Now the Jets score to take the lead and Bennett takes a dumb penalty.
