  1. i figure tkachuk is still hurt and he needs a few maintenance days anyways, maybe trying to take a bolt with him while he rests. i hope this series goes 7, not a fan of the cheap shots but i love the intensity. kucherov prob gonna pull some cheap shit next game or two. habs caps should be interesting today too

  2. And now we can see all series are intended to go to 6 or 7 games to sell more tickets and generate more money

  3. what utter dirt
    what an f-ing coward
    that guy sickens me he is a big sookie baby and dont pretend people that this okay in any way
    3 games at least

  4. First of all, I used to video tape and save Wendel Clark hits like that…and admittedly, I loved them. However, the game has changed and that hit which we all used to celebrate is not considered legal…so Tkachuk got exactly what he deserved and hopefully, if the rules are applied equally (which I doubt), the NHL DoPS may have something to say about Tkachuk's hit. But from a Leaf prospective I hope these two teams pound the living shit out of each other.

  5. I don't like Matthew, but he isn't wrong. Guentzl needs to keep his head up. Interference call, not worthy of suspension.

  6. Tkachuk is a douchebag, runs in his family. As always, Seth Jones comes in at the end and grabs the smallest guy he can find from behind. Seth Jones is a total pussy.

  7. This was a bad hit by Tkachuck , but nowhere near as bad as the hit by Hagle on Barkov.
    Guentzel was facing Mathew, Barkov was facing to wards the wall and got hit from behind.

    FL had a bad day , it happens. The pressure still on TB to replicate the same result. Good luck.

  8. Someone needs to kick the shit out of Tkachuk! He needs to be suspended and fined and forced to retire! The guy is more of a psycho than a hockey player!!

  9. Lets get real tkachuck jumped a vulnerable guy hes got 3 inches and 25 pounds on him and he saw an opportunity to send a useless message. If youre trying to deter this kind of garbage he gets 2 games

  10. Whoa tht guys so tough wish I could be like him and swing and punch but only when I’m behind the ref. Matt thachuk is a pussy. Straight up Brady is a better player fighter everything. Matt is out there to instigate period

  11. Mathew only throws punches when a ref is between him and the other player and is a nasty dirty player and not very skilled either

  12. I've got no skin in this series, I enjoy watching both of these teams come playoffs because lately my team sucks so bad, they cant muster up enough courage for a post season appearance. Having said that I'll just just drop this bomb and then leave the room: Stop crying about the two hits, they weren't the same. Yes, both were dirty 5 minute majors but the difference is that Barkov didn't even play the puck. This is a great series, stop bitching and try to enjoy it.😂

  13. The NHL needs to start suspending players for stuff like this. Sending him off the ice in a lopsided loss achieves nothing. Suspend him for game 4. That would hurt.

  14. He was headhunting. That was premeditated. No care about defending the empty net tkachuk maliciously went after gunz

  15. Both Upchuck brothers are dirty players and only other assholes celebrate them and their 'style.' Being physical is part of the game, but they both take it way too far and the league typically lets them get away with it.
