"Shout out to my fans in Calgary. You know I couldn't let Edmonton win." - Matthew Tkachuk

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Best part is that he didn't actually do much to secure the win, so it's bound to incite Edmonton fans bitching about his lack of performance

winning the Western Conference isn't "nothing"
and laugh all you want but your franchise has been irrelevant for 20 years

Sure was in 2011!

 

[Coffey]

It's a good chirp.
I don't even hate him after he left Calgary.
Hardnosed, extremely talented player, happy for him.

 

[Zaar]

This is kinda funny and shouldn't be a big deal for anyone. The only thing is, that he hadn't much to do with hindering the Oilers on winning the cup.

 

[King In The North]

so you think the Flames would've been bad if Tkachuk and Gaudreau stayed?

Brother look at the team's record with them, it was so hit and miss. I loved that era of the Flames because we had a young talented core but we were not gonna win championships.

 

[MBTendy]

The league needs more of this content. Good on Tkachuk for having the balls to say it. Pretty funny.

 

[Hank Plank]

Imagine still loving a player after they refuse to play for your team...

Imagine not knowing the difference between loving your team and hating management.

 

[MCR74]

For those whining, if Edmonton had won and Draisaitl chirped Florida, we'd never hear the end of it.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

He had 0 points and was -3 in the final 2 games lol, with 2 penalties taken.

Exactly. Way to strap the Panthers on your back and beat those dastardly Oilers, Matthew.

Drai chirping? No way!

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Awesome!!

 

[Ratsreign]

Yup.

“Shout out to my fans in Calgary, you know I couldn’t let Edmonton win, except that one time when I played for the Flames and ghosted in a reverse sweep of the best Flames team in decades right before demanding out in a trade that sewered the team.”

once a Flame, always a Flame

Ohhkayyy

Calgary's management sucks but Tkachuk saw a sinking ship and bailed.

Credit to him. No point in playing for a Canadian franchise.

Maybe McDavid will get smart and do the same.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Maybe McDavid will get smart and do the same.

Probably, if he wants to win he'll bail. Canadian teams won't win.

Yup.

Why is an oilers fan trying to make fun of tkachuk? He won the stanley cup last night, your team did not.

 

[AvatarAang]

Let’s be real. He did f*** all in the BoA series. Barely did f*** all in this SCFs series. Dude doesn’t have the ability to let or not let Edmonton do anything. He’s just talking out of his ass taking credit for things he doesn’t deserve.

Wow what’s with all the oilers fans hating on tkachuk? I guess you think Janmark is better than tkachuk since he scored a goal last night?

Get over it man, the oilers did not win the Stanley cup unlike tkachuk who will be celebrating all summer. Nobody is going to remember his stats in the SCF, except for oilers fans that can’t stop hating.

 

[TheNumber4]

Imagine having 9 top ten picks in a ten year span, including 4 first overalls, and having nothing to show for it

Imagine just being the Flames in any time period and any hockey era. *shudders*

 

[thekernel]

3 more points than McD had in the two most important games of his career and the same amount of points as Drai in the series (the second best player in the universe)

Now this one's a head scratcher. In the two games that Tkachuk recorded points, McDavid recorded more points in those same games. Tkachuk literally did not show up in these finals

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Lucky for him.

 

[Old Boys Club]

Weegar must be absolutely fuming, he got the shit end of the deal here. I'd say Huby too, but I doubt he cares after his 80 M payday. More money for strip clubs.

 

[FinlandPanther]

lol if this guy wasnt such a punk on the ice with the diving and stupid mouthguard chewing i would actually like him hes a great player

I’m sure he’s torn up over it.

 

[Three On Zero]

I’m sure he’s torn up over it.

Should we mention how both Draisaitl and McDavid also chew their mouth guard and dive around?

 

[Rob]

I wonder what Huberdeau is thinking?

 

[tabness]

Should we mention how both Draisaitl and McDavid also chew their mouth guard and dive around?

you're more into the Oilers more than their fans lol

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Tkachuk should receive a standing ovation the next time Florida plays in Calgary. Roll out the red carpet for him.
