Some New Jersey Devils fans are calling for
Brady Tkachuk's head after one particular play in the East's All-Star game on Saturday.
No question, this incident can - at worst - be described as
horseplay, it did present a certain dangerous element for Devils' All-Star
Jack Hughes. His head could possibly have snapped back and hit the ice, causing a c*nc*ssion. Hence, Devils fans' dissatisfaction with the play.
Does that make it a dirty play though?
Non-Devils fans have made their feelings on the matter quite clear. The replies held a healthy split each way, some in support, others...not so much.
Here's just a couple of the replies to the Devils Insiders tweet:
"Woof, you're right. Brady almost touched him there."
"Has to be one of the saddest tweets of the year so far."
That list goes on for about another 100 tweets.
Fans always hold a bias for their own star players, this is nothing new. Did Tkachuk make a dirty/dangerous play on
Jack Hughes? The two families are close through their USA Hockey ties, so would the Senators' captain deliberately cheap shot a friend?
