you do not want to mess with CHUCKY. GO PANTHERS. YOU GUYS PLAYED PANTHER HOCKEY . OUTSTANDING. GO PANTHERS. GREAT JOB PAUL
Cheers to both men! Awesome stuff Chucky!
His name is Coward on skates
He's like the Иick Fuentes of hockey…
Love these insecure bruins fans who decided to come watching and commenting a panther presser lol After the season you are welcomed to join but first we crush your boys on ice.
This dude is a pussy ! He starts with a Pastrnak who's been in 1 fight! He's been in at least 20 in his NHL career. Goes after the top player for the Bruins, hoping Pastrnak will get injured and out for a couple games! Tkachuk never fights fighters is more like it because if he did, he'd get his ass handed to him! Let him square up with Fredric and see how he does! All he is good for is cheap hits and fights with guys who don't fight! He's poor excuse of a hockey player! 7:45
Hitting a man when they are down is cowardly. Not surprised though.
Tkachucky woke up and chose violence…. Let's go Caaaaaaaaats!!!!
Я не поняла 🤔 что послужило причиной 🤷 боя. Они договорились 🤝??? 🤦 Бои без правил . Я пойду на ринг , а пока мне нравится интеллектуальный хоккей.
Yea but why wont this pussy fight anyone else's soft matthew you are a 🤡
"Tons of respect, tee hee, just tons, hardy har har."
Chucky hit the red sauce outta pasta
Let’s see how Chucky does with someone who knows how to fight not someone who is a All-Star player who does not fight at all. Chucky only picks on guys like that.
Too bad all that talent is in a SLOPPY POS LIKE HIM !
GO BRUINS ! Shows the character of a man when ya fight guys who can’t … 💪🖕👊🏼🏒
Hi Bruins fans. Get your salt here!
What a sexy white nigga
Poked the bear. Now they’ll find out.
Sort of like taunting Gretzky into fight… there are many others that fight he could have challenged, and they'll be lining up and ready for him.
Hats off to Pasta he isn’t a fighter but dropped the gloves to try to inspire the team. That’s worth something at least.
Tkachuck is a punk! He’s always giving cheap shots after the whistle. He will only
fight guys who are not fighters! A real tough guy! Not!
Maroon?
Is there any doubt this bruins team has ANY chance of even scoring any more goals, never mind winning any more games? Game one was a total fluke, pasta once again shut down by the panthers? Tkachuk is 1000 times the player of any bruin
One of my favorite players. I really wanna see him win it
This guy is such a coward and a fraud! Punching a guy while he’s down, such a punk ass move. You ran from just about everybody on the Bruins, including Brad Marchand ! Bruins are going to teach you a lesson boy!
Tkachuk it’s a baby in a pussy he pick someone that’s never had a fight in the NHL and it made him look like a hero. The pathetic Panthers fans are pumped. He didn’t pick on Marone. He didn’t get up and try and fight Marshawn Marshawn Chapman to the ice he backed away from Fredericks. He backed away from every player on the Bruins. The only thing he ever does is hit them from behind with the sex stick or swing Adam, he’s a real class act a POS, his own fathers embarrassed, and that’s a fact.
Lol what a softie! why doesn’t he try fighting someone more on his level huge props to pasta!
Yeah real brave Chucky especially since Maroon was already ejected…real brave and you call Pasta out to fight… lost every ounce of respect for you…you may have just lost the series!
And Montour slashed 2 guys before the goal…I hope he gets his ass handed to him in game 3
Tkachuk is like Claude Lemieux without the Stanley cup rings and conn Smythe. Claude Light
Wait,What? They asked each other if they wanted to "fight"? Has hockey gotten soft due to the milquetoast delicate groupies who have infiltrated the sport for the last 3 decades. Fights were spontaneous from the 1980s back. It's like the hockey groupies now only show any type of participations in energetic support for their home team when they see the roaming 🎥 guys are focusing in on them. "Hey,do you want to fight now or should we make an appointment for the next game?"😂
Pussy! You called out a guy who doesn't fight. Classless puke. try Maroon big man
Pay back is coming porky
Pasta looking to get a s**t kicking?
What a punk, hitting a dude when he’s down, that takes some balls. Notice he chose to throw down with a player that doesn’t fight, Yup he’s a real tough guy. What an embarrassment.
Why does he wear a mouth guard with rotten teeth?
How can you not LOVE Tkachuk? This guy is what athletes should be like; this guy is great for the game. I cannot thank Zito enough for having the balls to make the trade and bring him in. This guy is worth everything we gave up and then some. His impact on the ice and in the locker room and on the team is priceless!
Takes a loser and a coward like big Mathew Tkachuk to call out David Pastrnak for a fight!!!!
let’s beat that Boston booty
Tkachuk was the blessing this franchise needed to take the next step. We're blessed to have him.
