Some of that stuff reminds me a bit of Sean Avery stuff. Like chirping and trying to get under people's skin but if toned out it seemed to really undermine his effectiveness.Tkachuk can't help himself from saying stupid shit in the media that he can't back up on the ice. Last season before a HNIC game against the Oilers, he declared that the Flames' season was going to turn around, and he was gonna be the one to do it. Then the game happened, and the Oilers pasted them 7-1.
First and foremost you gotta be contributing.
Like I said earlier I'm a basketball guy, and someone like Larry Bird was notorious for his trash talk. But he was also gonna drop 25 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, while shooting lights out from everywhere. It just makes you look silly if you aren't backing it up on the floor/field/ice.
