"Nobody remembers anything. As soon as the puck dropped, the two went at it.But Tkachuk's team got the upper hand where it mattered most, winning 4-3 in a shootout to go two points up on the Oilers in the Pacific Division standings.So of course, the two of them fought.In their last game, Tkachuk didn't fight back after Kassian objected to a couple big hits against him, and the Oilers forward got a two-game suspension.
He was lambasted by a dozen former players for his hits and for not fighting Kassian.Kassian blasted Tkachuk in speaking to the media after his suspension and made a not-so-veiled threat for retribution. Maybe somebody closer to me out there.They also note that both hits were deemed clean by the NHL and that maybe Kassian, with 33 fights and more than a thousand hits to his credit, can deliver a good hit but just can't take one."[If you don't want to fight Kassian], well then don't be taking 12-foot runs at him trying to kill him," said Neal.The next game between them is Jan. 29 in Edmonton followed by Feb. 1 in Calgary.
Zack Kassian had enough of Matthew Tkachuk on Saturday.
The Flames scored on the power play, won 4-3, and took over top spot in the Pacific Division."If [Kassian] was a different type of player, maybe [I would have].
"If he wants to react like that, we'll take the power play and we'll take the game winner and we'll take first place.
But now he's silenced the critics with more goals and fights. Run 12 feet and try to kill him?
Calgary Flames star Matthew Tkachuk was criticized after a run-in with Oiler Zack Kassian. Maybe somebody closer to me out there.Pro-Zackers, and Oiler fans, meanwhile, have been posting frame-by-frame breakdowns on Tkachuk’s earlier hit, positing that it was a predatory attack, preceded by four strides and a launch of the feet to target the head.All sides agree the fight has put the Battle back in Battle of Alberta, heightened by the fact both teams are fighting for a playoff spot.The Tkachuk hit, and the ragdoll fight, renewed the debate among the media and fans about predatory hits, rough justice, and when league intervention is appropriate in the age of heightened awareness of player safety and concussions.The league said in a statement that Kassian was suspended without pay and will forfeit $20,967.74 (U.S.) under terms of the collective agreement. "Rather than follow the hockey "code" and fight Kassian, Tkachuk followed the pest code and relished his conquest. It was a costly penalty. He messed with the wrong guy. We're just here to have a good time," Tkachuk added. EDMONTON -- Edmonton Oilers forward Zack Kassian has been suspended two games following his altercation with Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk during Saturday night's game.
Sixteen minutes and 35 seconds to be exact. I have a feeling half the people in the league wouldn’t go with that guy.“You don’t see anybody else in the league doing that because they know they have to fight him.The beatdown was captured in a widely distributed photo: Tkachuk, bent forward, chin to chest, with his red and yellow gloves covering his face and head, as Kassian hauls back his left fist to administer yet another head-seeking haymaker.Kassian responded by grabbing Tkachuk by the scruff of his sweater, hauling him around like a bag of laundry, and landing 10 punches until the linesman intervened.“If (Kassian) was a different type of player, maybe (I would have).
