"lol"
Parayko didn't "tuck tail". He laughed it off and caused Lucic to get a 2 minute penalty and a 10 minute misconduct instead of engaging with one of the toughest guys in the league. Very smart move in my opinion. I guess it is a matter of perspective.
His face turned red, he wouldn't look him in the eye and he was like; "Ah man, leave me alone. What I do?"

Jesus Christ that was dumb. hopefully Lucic has better sense now that he's sober.

Wasn’t dumb. He believed Parayko was being careless/dangerous. Right or wrong most guys act like that in those situations

Losing 4-1 on home ice - late in the game - you'd love it if Lucic did that to an opponent that almost wiped out a Thomas, Snuggy, Kyrou, Holloway, etc knee.

It wasn't a knee. It was an awkward hit due to a sidestep.

It was still knee on knee contact, that's why Lucic got upset (awkward, accidental or not).

It will be interesting to see if Tkachuk can maintain health in the short and long term.

The Kolesar hit devastated him physically and impacted a great deal of his body. Traumas like that can impact the entire nervous system which governs everything.
