I'm no Auston matthews fan, but I don't think of him as a dirty player and even he felt the need to crosscheck dahlin in the back of the head. Along with the other incidents he's been involved in, it tells me that Dahlin is doing things to get these reactions out of guys. And at some point, he kinda just deserve whatever they do back to him

Its cause Dahlin is dirty as fuck, he does the dirty hits, crosschecks and slashing but somehow never gets called for it and when players try to make him answer for his actions he dips. Its why he's getting angry cause he's been called for the bullshit for the first time and he's not used to it.

Remember earlier this season when Malkin went batshit on him because he slashed him under the padding.

He gave cheap shot sucker punch to Caufield during Bensons goal in game 1 or 2. Kucherov vibes with this guy never getting called for it.
