Brian Burke Weighs In On Tkachuk And Kassian Feud, High Scoring Maple Leafs | Tim and Sid

[@greatestgameonearth]

I agree with Burke, Kassian shouldn't have been suspended. Tkatchuk can make runs, Kassian can stand up for himself, and the Battle of Alberta is reignited. Dumb suspension. Doesn't change how anybody is gonna play, and doesn't protect any players.

[@FunandgameswithAandS]

As soon as Kassian snaps and throws punches like that on a defenceless player you have to suspend him.

[@TheRichardson711]

@@FunandgameswithAandS tkchuk isn't defenceless. He was basically picking a fight by running kassian. He knew kassian was gonna blow a gasket eventually. He just chose to turtle. He knows how to fight.

it will interesting to see now that Kassian has awoken out of his his 10 year fog.

[@josiahgurney9468]

I turned out the way it should be. Kassian got suspended, that is a good answer. What if Tkachuk got a head to the ice? I would have stood up for myself, but it WAS a clean hit, and good on Tkachuk for turtling himself and being protectively smart.

THANK-YOU Burksey - exactly as I have said - I agree when I watch it too - he took TOO MANY strides before he applied the hit and the hit was targeted not consequential Charging is a penalty in ice hockey. Rule 42 of the NHL rulebook dictates that charging "shall mean the actions of a player or goalkeeper who, as a result of distance traveled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner. A 'charge' may be the result of a check into the boards, into the goal frame or in open ice.

[@jimbeaver27]

Burky knows it, Mitch has another level. He covers for rushing Dmen, he scores on PK, he disrupts passes, he steals the puck, and he feeds goals. We saw Mitch's other level the other day from the center ice faceoff, he took the puck through 4 guys and scored. Mitch and Matty just need to trust their skills more, get a heap of confidence and have support on the ice.

First one was okay. 3 strides, glides, contact. Second hit was CLEARLY a charge. Took 5 solid strides right into Kassian. 100% charging.

[@derekazyan9942]

ZK getting suspended is ridiculous. That first charge was a head shot and should have been at the very LEAST a 2 min charge. If that was a “skilled” player who got smoked like Mcdavid it would have been 5 and a game. The second hit was clean but Kassian had enough at that point.

[@boomds5602]

Derek Azyan the principal point of contact was NOT the head

[@VangeliRock]

So is "Charging" no longer a penalty? That hit is clearly charging.

[@praxis6172]

[@Cashiz88]

[@josiahgurney9468]

They are not clearly charging, it's close, but the one Kassian ragdolled him around, def not, first one prob charging, but not a big deal it was not called

[@Gogalen789]

Rule 42.1 states that "charging shall mean the actions of a player who, as a result of distance travelled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner." The keyword here is "violently".

[@Gogalen789]

When Torey Krug skated from center ice to the zone face off circle to deliver a hit in last seasons Stanley cup finals, that was clearly charging.

[@GraniteSoundtrack]

Problem with Tkachuk is his attitude. He acts like he can do whatever he wants. He charged, lit up Kassian in a predatory way and then thinks, "it's just hockey whatever." He's actually not that tough and not as great a player as all the media think. He's a good story because he's a character is why they cover it so much. He's going to get hurt playing like that and no one will feel sorry for him. I won’t, and I’m not an Oilers fan at all.

In a way you could argue one or both of the first two hits were charging based on distance traveled and the violence of them.

[@loganmitchell1280]

He had enough time to run his body and suck down a bit after his strides so=no charging

[@bumpin0]

@@skateordiedev The general rule people used is if you leave the ice, take more 2 or 3 strides or deliberately take yourself out of the play to hit an opponent. Leaving the ice is easy to call the later two are just judgments. The hit before the fight should of been a charge. He made the choice to try to injure a player when he wasnt even close to the play. I used to make those hits all the time growing up. I would get a charging penalty half the time.

Burke is right, Tkachurtle needs to do his own dishes!

[@TheRichardson711]

I want lots of hitting. I want lots of hard hits. I want fighting. I even want more fighting. I want hockey to be an intense game. Hockey is at it's best when it's intense. But I want consistent rules. To me the 1st hit on Kassian should have been a penalty at least and maybe even a small suspension. Tkachuk Charged, hit kas in the head, and left his feet. I'm mostly fine with the other hits. But everything I've seen from previous suspensions tells me that a predatory, charging, hit to the head, while airborne should be a suspension. I want lots of fighting. But I understand that players aren't obligated to fight if they don't want to. Laying a good clean hard hit shouldn't necessitate a fight. But laying multiple predatory borderline-legal hits on the same player is basically picking a fight. so I don't blame kassian for what he did and I don't think he deserves a suspension.

If the supplementary discipline guy from the 90's said it's a charge it's probably a charge in today's game especially. I have no problem with any of it. I feel like tkachuk is a bit of a rat but I don't think that was what this was about at all. I'm just surprised how many people who "love" hockey but are up in arms about Kas responding that way. Sticking up for yourself or others after a big hit clean or not has always been a part of hockey. Hell you couldn't get too close to The Great One without Marty jumping all over you whether you touched Gretzky or not. Better to just let him get beat up then have Kas hunting him the next few matchups and possibly seriously injuring the kid 🤷‍♂️

[@zettle2345]

I been watching Hockey since before they "had" to wear helmets... The only thing I did not like, was that Kas did not stop fighting when the ref's jumped in. You don't hit a player that is down on the ice, and you stop fighting when the ref grabs you. That's respect for the game.

Both are worthy NHL players, Kassian is correct, he will get served. Obviously this has been blown up, and other players are going to catch on to the way he plays and probably find it sensible to wear him down. Unfortunately, it’s a dirty game. Until the day the NHL removes contact - it won’t change. And, it’s the $$$ that has kept it in. This game isn’t all about skill, and I’m not sure what the average condition of retired players is, if that came out, maybe people would be the wiser.
