Am I crazy or is this video explaining the suspension pretty stupid. It’s saying Tkachuk was watching the play the whole time while you can clearly see him with his head down pushing Stanley into the bench. This doesn’t seem worthy of a suspension to me.
Suspended for that?! I’m not one of those “back in the day that’s how every play went, these guys are soft!” idiots that think concussions are a myth or whatever, but come on… Roughing, fighting, maybe even an instigator penalty to be served, but beyond that? No way.
(Maybe it was instigator in the game, but the video doesn’t say that. It says roughing.)
