Back to hockey, assuming that is OK with our festival-going, turn-table listenin', Cessna-riding, snow-skiing, loony bird...
Who got to see the good ol' fashioned ass-beating delivered to Matthew Tkachuk, by Zack Kassian? That was classic old school hockey right there. Of course will have to listen to all of the metro-sexual sports talking heads tell us how there is no place for that and how Kassian should be suspended and maybe even have criminal charges brought up. If there was more of this sort of self-policing, you'd see a whole lot fewer incidents and injuries. What Tkachuk did was 100% legal and 100% cheap. He is trying to be his old man without the wisdom to know when to hit and when to back-off. What I really like is how the mighty 22 year-old turtles like a coward when it was time to drop the gloves and just took a beating. I only wish he would have been knocked out cold... Not as good as NASCAR death but it would have been all over the news and attendance would have gone up everywhere in the NHL...
