Love rewatching the clip of Kassian ragdollin Turtleneck. Love Kassians' comments too. After Kass called him out on it, Turtle finally came out his shell to start earning some stripes of standing up for yourself and 'answering the bell'. If u wanna play big boy hockey, u gotta answer the bell - Kass said it best and it had an immediate impact on Turtle. Since then, he started stepping up to answer the bell. Lets thank Kass for inspiring the turtle to finally play big boy hockey

@ActionGenesis you might not always get crushed. But against calgary you would. Take kytchuck & lucci out of calgary and that hit more than likely would not have happened.

Kassian is like a 215 lb 8 year old

[@gallant00]

@Harpers Nutts I think he means Kassian's talent is like an 8 year old.

[@gallant00]

@Harpers Nutts imagine playing with draisaitl and mcdavid and realize how easy it is to get points then come to a conclusion that most of his co called career is mid 20 pts a season. Now as far as what it says about the flames...well their 2nd in the west.

[@thezombieaddiction8956]

@Harpers Nutts No I meant he acts like an 8 year old throwing his tantrum when he gets sat down

Absolutely electrifying 1-0 goal by McDavid.

Sure wasn't any Flames players trying too hard to step in.

[@kevinkreager6849]

That's because other players don't like getting punched in the face fighting to protect tknothead when tknothead starts running people. Tknothead should've stood up for himself instead of being ragdolled and turtling like the B+++h Kassian called him. As much as Wilson is another knothead, at least he stands up for himself.

[@wheelsj8003]

Tkachuk needs to man up taking runs like that is going to get him Scott Stevens one of these days. He’s got that turtle down pat

[@lilflyerphanatic3625]

Did ktachuk really just say get off the tracks when he literally went out of his way to hit kassian three times oml

[@jeniasmackay7931]

Now you two will be playing a playoff series!!!

[@tysonkehler7582]

Why would Tkatchuk need to fight for 3 clean hits? This is hockey. There’s hitting. You don’t need to fight a guy over a clean hit.

[@vurx218]

Plus if he fought they both probably would've got penalties, instead only Kassian got one and that cost them the game

[@dylanwells9769]

When you target a guy, you should fight. Not saying a fight every time there's a hit, but don't be surprised if Kassian cheap shots him because he refused to fight.

[@joenobody571]

@@dylanwells9769 dude taking somebody out of the game is part of playing the game if you're going to whine about clean hits and want to fight go back to the minors they are clean hits " keep your head up son" it wasn't like the guy was being headhunted

[@dylanwells9769]

@@joenobody571 Who said they were dirty hits? I'm just saying Tkachuk should earn the respect of his teammates and drop the gloves cause sooner or later guys on his team are gonna get targeted because of him. (See Steve Moore -Todd Bertuzzi for more info)

[@bmoney2011]

There's more to fighting than just responding to a dirty hit. Tkachuk absolutely should just skate away laughing at how much real estate he has in Kassian's head...but I don't fault Kassian for goin after him. It's a pride thing, I reckon.

[@ritathecat6962]

The first hit on kassian the primary contact was to the head/neck and the second one was from behind. But nice to know that he wont be suspended because we all know how the NHL cares so much about player safety.

[@chiefbeanus3224]

rita the cat both clean hits, player safety should look at Jack ass grab Tkachuk from behind and start tossing em around while his helmets off

[@ritathecat6962]

@@chiefbeanus3224 watch the hits on different videos from different angles. Both are dirty and with comments like that I assume you're one of those pansies that doesn't like fighting. Probably a huge fan of Marchand also..
