Watch as Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk lays a huge open-ice hit on Tampa Bay Lightning forward Jake Guentzel moments before the Lightning bury an empty-net goal, resulting in a five-minute major penalty on Tkachuk for interference.

Red Wings fan so nobody cries. This league is getting so soft it's hard to watch. Hagel shouldn't have been suspended and tkachuk shouldnt be either. All the comments calling for Tkachuks suspension need to go watch golf and turn off hockey. Neither hits were to the head, they were a touch late if anything. "Ohh they set the tone with Hagel, wahhhhh." please go refill your baby bottle back up with formula.
Tkachuk should be suspended for the playoffs…Hockey would benefit with the ruling…
If he isn't gone for a game after Barkov, there is seriously something wrong
Canes fan here so no rooting interest either way but the hit looked late to me.
If Tkachuk doesn’t get suspended we know who Bettman wants to win the series. Basically the same as the Hagel hit.
The puck is gone and tkachuk changes his angle to make a run at him. Suspending Hagel and not him will piss a lot of people off
Heads up my ass, the puck was looong gone. Tkacuk is a rat. dumb ass music too. celebrating a rat?
POS Numchuk also played 5 minutes only in the 4 Nations then sat the last two periods instead of dressing Kyle Conor,just an entitled little baby
Is anyone surprised by that pos?
Cheap shots and cheap talk, benches clearing every other game… in five years, hockey is going to suck worse than wrestling.
Left his feet too
The song in the background.. 😆
Clean hit..just late
Tkatchuk should get 3 games.
The music had me dying as that defines them on the ice
I cannot believe this was a 5 and a game. F’ing soft.
He didn’t even make contact with the head. This is why I gave up watching the NHL. Might as well watch Ringette.
Definitely late, no question, one more reason to hate that guy
If was late but not exactly a crushing hit, i think he let up a bit
100% suspension
Wasn’t even a hard hit lmao just knocked him over nothing comparable to sesame bagels
Hit
It's absurdly late. What accentuates the lateness is the fact that Tkachuk observed the puck was gone and then began to accelerate from zero into making a hit. It wasn't like "oh I can't stop".
Tkachuk should be suspended for that.
