McLellan on Matthew Tkachuk’a actions late in the game
That’s what he does. It makes him a good player, it makes him a villain. Do we like the poking in [Quick]’s facemask? Of course we don’t, but I don’t think it’s anything that we can deal with. Now other people have to look at it.
I've got to say that "official" attitude absolutely stinks. It's like seeing a woman getting beaten up by a guy for her purse and standing back and saying it's something for the cops to deal with. Ketchup's got form, it was no accident and, irrespective of the loss to the team, as a human being with a family Quick could have had a career ending injury. The crime would have been done by the time that moron had been dealt with, but due to the criminally serious potential in that premeditated act, he nevertheless should have been dealt with on the ice and the hell with the consequences.
