"Shout out to my fans in Calgary. You know I couldn't let Edmonton win." - Matthew Tkachuk, and other chirping of his

[Dr Pepper]

Not as funny as Kadri telling his haters to "kiss my ass" but still a pretty cool moment for Matty.

 

[ShootIt]

tbh though,

What did the flames ever do to him?

HE's the one who decided to jump ship. He wasn't traded away or anything like that.

He was drafted there, fans loved him, etc, and HE, decided to jump ship.

Didn't he want a long term deal and Flames offered him a bridge contract after his ELC?



*Don't know if that was debunked later on.

I'm not sure I'm following here. He didn't take a shot at Calgary and I think he left on good terms. I'm praising his personality here and wishing the Habs or Sharks had a player like him.

 

[Three On Zero]

Link? Why didn't they put a contract in front of him to sign when he said that?

It’s old news and nothing new, I am sure you can work google

I’ll take this as a no, you can’t.

It's a good chirp, but a bit weird to create some solidarity with a fanbase when you demanded to be traded out of there

Exactly.

It's like a girlfriend who left you in a BAD way, did you dirty, and pretends in public that y'all are cool.

Nah, we ain't cool fam.

FOH.

We love you and miss you in Calgary Matthew.

"I love you but didn't wanna play for you" lol

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

With 1G and 2A in the the seven games in the final, you kinda almost did Matthew.

Leadership and intangibles exceed production in this case.
Thanks Matthew, from Ottawa. The correct hockey won and the right team won as well.

 

[viper0220]

"I love you but didn't wanna play for you" lol

He did but the asshole that went to Toronto f***ed up badly, hoping he f***s up big time in Toronto.

if he wanted to play for Calgary, we would've re-signed
he asked for a trade in 2022

 

[cowboy82nd]

Never happened.


Two completely different situations, Marner doesn't want to leave.
How can you not know this?

Matthew Tkachuk was on ownerships and management.

As a Flames fan who has met him on numerous times, I am very happy for him. He always took time to chat and he was very kind, both of my sons had pictures taken with him. One time he was in a rush and I had both my sons meeting him, I was about to tell my kids let's go but he said "what about a picture."

Very happy for you Matthew Tkachuk.

[super6646]

Would’ve been better if he said it in Calgary. Feels like empty words and lip service, but good for him or whatever.

Im happy Bennett got his cup. I’ll just say that lol.

so "good guy" Matt Tkachuk still wanted out of Calgary

 

[Jeune Poulet]

I do love these moments of raw emotion after the win. Didn't care for Ekblad using the f word when there are kids watching

Yeah, I heard multiple reports of children spontaneously bursting into flames when Ekblad spoke the dirty word.

It's a f***ing tragedy.

This thread shouldn't have derailed into a Tavares discussion but all I see is Tavares stating he wants to remain an Islander, not that he will. His public comments are the standard one part negotiation + one part PR.

And if anyone has a direct quote from one of the principals where Tavares told Islanders that he's staying feel free to share. Point being, there's a big difference between "I want to stay" and "I'm not going anywhere".

As for Tkachuk, nice troll. I still don't like him but respect what he does.

No he did not, ownership and management that ran Matthew Tkachuk out of Calgary.

 

[DCDM]

Love u Matty

 

[King In The North]

Love Chucky.

Treliving f***ed around with bridge contracts.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

No he did not, ownership and management that ran Matthew Tkachuk out of Calgary.

Yeah only a minor coincidence that he left just after Johnny did.

Credit to Tkachuk he knew the writing was on the wall but I wouldn't praise him if I were a Flames fan since he and Johnny sent the team spiraling into mediocrity combined with shitty ownership and management.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

however you have to cope

the fact of the matter is, he bailed on your team and you're a worse team for it (not that I'm complaining)

Flames fans should praise him, he told management, that he was leaving and the Flames got something out of it. It is not Tkachuk's fault that the Flames f***ed up with what they did with return.

The whole Johnny and Tkachuk situation was on ownership, the rebuild have lasted longer but ownership interfered.

Thanks. His quote there is definately open to interpretation and they had almost a full year from that article to him leaving to put a contract in front of him.
Anyway, off topic so we'll let it go.
