Saturday’s Matthew Tkachuk on Mark Scheifele hit-and-run is a perfect example of the genre. The play is easy enough to describe – Scheifele approaching the side boards at speed and, after dumping the puck, attempting to turn back up the ice; Tkachuk right behind him and determined to finish his check; Tkachuk either losing his balance or purposely raising his skate to clip the back of Scheifele’s heel; Scheifele down on the ice writhing and then carried off.
“It was intentional. That is a filthy, dirty kick to the back of the leg,” he said. “He could’ve ended his career. It’s an absolutely filthy, disgusting hit.” “I would stick by every word that I said, but specifically every word that I said” – a very small climb-down. Does he think Tkachuk is a “dirty” player?Story continues below advertisement
“[Maurice] is trying to get an elite player in our lineup either taken out or suspended. And he’s trying to create some energy probably in his own room. He’s a veteran coach. He’s a really good coach.”But posturing is what defines the modern NHL. There was a time when on-ice actions resulted in an equal and opposite on-ice reaction without any need of explanation. People understood the symbology of cruelty.

N.S. reports two new cases of COVID-19; 4 active cases in the provinceNova Scotia is reporting two new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday, bringing the total number of active cases in the province to four. Almost 1 MILLION Nova Scotians mandated to wear masks because 4 people (0.000004 of the population) have a virus with a 99% survival rate? This makes sense to you? All 4 cases are related to out of country travel and NS has never had community spread outside of 1 care home, and practically every single death was in that 1 care home, and all of this without a mandatory mask law, until last Friday. Impossible, the passengers on the flight were all wearing masks
