Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

Tkachuk has zero class

Really weird that he forced his way out of Calgary and is now doing everything he can to pander to the Flames fan base.

Tkachuk has zero class

Anything that trashes the Oilers and their fanbase is 1st class for me.

Naw, it might have been a tad mean spirited, but there is place in sports for smack talk.

Zero class, is Sean Avery talking about his ex-girlfriend the way he did.

it's more than one comment. It's the jumping around thing in the Boston series, making fun of Bouchard's eyes, and now this. When did winning become not enough?

Dude trash talking is part of sports. You try to throw opponent off their game.

Goes both ways.

I'll still take it. The NHL needs personalities and he's got a large one. It could be that his purpose in the league is to be a villain for you? He'll give you something to root against when rooting for the Avalanche isn't enough.

You must have hated Roy.

I was quite young when he was in the league. But he also has made a fool of himself on more than a few occasions.

I have to disagree. You trash talk during. After is gloating, and it's a bad look imo

He's a rat, it's what he does. You want class, look at guys like Landeskog (but he proved he's not above smack talk either as demonstrated by his "Go back on waivers!" jab at Clayton Stoner a few seasons ago).

I personally don't mind it, it makes sports more fun when there's guys like this.

And...really? WTF do you care about someone showing up Boston!? They literally have the KING of all rats as their captain, they simply got their own game shoved in their faces. I absolutely loved that.
