Brady Tkachuk turning heads for the wrong reasons at All-Star Game, makes dirty, dangerous play during fun exhibition

During the Atlantic Division All-Stars' game against the Metropolitan Division All-Stars, Tkachuk was working to get the inside track on Devils superstar Jack Hughes. Hughes, who was simply skating back to take his man and try to block a pass, found himself on the receiving end of a dangerous play from Tkachuk, who reached back and gave Hughes a hard tug on the collar, sending him falling backward with one of his legs partially underneath him.

During a fun exhibition like the All-Star Game, there is simply no room for plays like this. Not only could Tkachuk have blown out Hughes' knee, but he could have caused a concussion as well, had Hughes' head bounced off the ice.

I know it sounds silly, but if Player Safety took a look at this one and issued a fine, I'd say it was entirely justified. Reckless and dangerous play by Brady.. especially at an All-Star Game. That's reprehensible behaviour.
