“I think it was just their bottom-six guys were doing what they were doing, which I don’t think we really liked on our side,” Tkachuk told reporters Thursday.
Tkachuk the coward is a low intelligence, low toughness want to be Marchand, yet 6'3.
Later acts as though he is a skill player/non fighter as a credit to himself for fighting Pastrnak.
Absolute garbage. Little accountability or honor with that one. His brother is embarrassed on his behalf.
Despite crosschecking Lindholm after a goal, Montour taunting Marchand after a goal, and the other nonsense.
Tkachuk is the heart of the Panthers. Target him relentlessly, make him hurt, if they can neuter him it would be huge. He played the Bruins perfectly to start the game, that chin strap is very loose, he knew what he was doing and refs fell for it. If you are going to do that, take a slug at him, nothing to lose.
I know Bennett is traveling but that means nothing. Easy target too if he returns. Montour needs a lesson as well.
Florida is only tough until held accountable like any fake bully.
We saw it against Vegas when the NHL applied the rules. It was Florida left with post game tantrums and Vegas laughing mockingly at their efforts.
Play with the lead and Florida unravels.
