Yesterday's game between the Flames and the Kings was a hard fought battle between two very intense teams. The Flames are gearing up for the playoffs in what could be a deep run, while the Kings are fighting hard to simply get into the spring tournament. 

When intensity is displayed, unfortunate events might happen. In this guess, Matthew Tkachuk delivered a very dangerous hit on Drew Doughty


The sequence is undeniable, a high flying elbow was used to injure Doughty. When interrogated about his rival, Drew had this to say. 

“He’s a pretty dirty player, that kid. To be a rookie and play like that is a little surprising. I don’t know exactly what happened because I got hit in the head, but I thought he elbowed me. I can’t tell you for sure, so I’m not going to really say if I think anything should happen, but whatever it was, it hurt pretty bad, and it’s going to hurt for a little bit.”

This rivalry is really picking up! It's left to be seen if the NHL Player Safety Department will investigate or not.
