Tkachuk just intentionally poked Quickie in the eyes with his stick, according to LAK broadcast.

Did Matt Tkachuk really try to poke Quick in the eye through the visor?!?
What a fecking douche he sometimes is... not seen one of those in a while.

This is one of those situations where intent is gonna be difficult to prove. But, given the player's history I think the league DPS will take a long look. I don't think he'll be suspended.

Would not surprise me if he did it on purpose

But he played his cards right so they might just fine him

He's perfected the sneak attack. He wasn't even looking at Quick haha.

I would love to see a Matthew Tkachuk beatdown tour, where every team's enforcer takes turns smashing him each game him after this.

Muzzin unfortunately is hurt but he would have been the best guy for that

Anyone know if he's a repeat offender? Should be 5 games.. so dirty

I believe he is

He was suspended twice in 2017 for unsportsmanlike conduct and spearing

Since NHL is very protective of their goalies this could get very interesting

Throw the book at him.
20 games.

Knowing DOPS they will probs give him 2 and a slap on the wrist. If he gets 5 then DOPS actually did something right

Now lets say Quick as a result of that got eye damage then 20 games would probs happen

Imagine Pittsburgh gets Bedard

As rn they sure look like they want him

No. Please no.

Repeat offender officially means suspension in the last 2 years I think so no he’s not a repeat offender in that sense

Oh then no

I thought it was if u had a record with em

Well from looking at them now would he really help

As they got all that talent yet cant win ****

Yes. Turning the blade of the stick....sure was an attempt to injure. Actually on the previous play, his stick went into Quick's eye.

I’m just saying I don’t want him in Pittsburg. They don’t deserve him.

Bill Zito probs sweating buckets rn

As in one year he spent all their assets (dont got a first till 2027 or something), ruined their blue line depth with one trade, and his team has started to find bad habits with Paul Maurice as HC.

Want Lindy Ruff fired anymore?

Its probs gonna depend on how long the magical run continues

As soon as he runs out of fairy dust its gonna be interesting to see what happens.

The only thing I'd really sweat bucket over if I were Zito would be a lengthy Tkachuk suspension.
The team is playing really well, and that's with Ekblad and Duclair out injured.
To me they just seem snakebit but the Panthers are generally controlling the scoring chances, I'd expect them climbing in the standings and make the playoffs rather comfortably.

Real ones always kept the faith.
