The Vegas Golden Knights beat the Florida Panthers in game 1 of the 2023 NHL Stanley Cup final; however, at the end of the game, things got heated and Matthew Tkachuk was in the middle of it as usual… but was this nothing more than just a tactic.

This aged well, vegas has more discipline than the Panthers do, and are by far a stronger 5v5 team. Tonight the Panthers got smashed again they can't keep up and Vegas won't fall for those dumb penalties like fighting when they have the lead
hes such a LOOOOOOOSERRRRRRR lol and if he keeps up this shit he's going to lose the cup. Vegas isn't like the other teams he has played, they think Tkachuck is a joke, they laugh at him. They knocked goudas out they have no problem knocking him out next. This time around the refs aren't letting florida get away with shit either so its up to them what type of game they want to play now. The only thing is, i don't think they can beat Vegas without being a little dirty.
They looked worse tonight. Looks like it’s not working in Vegas. The panthers looked outclassed in every asset of the game. Pretty embarrassing brand of hockey
Your prediction didn’t pan out.
Looking at game 2. Knights have Panthers frustrated. They are DOMINATING Florida.
Florida's tactics backfired in game 2, Vegas destroyed them. Tkachuk got two 10 minute penalties within close succession. Sucker punched and wrist slashed Hague. Dude is a clown.
Yup they are dirty and now they are crying oer getting penalized for it but vegas has much bigger players physically then the pther teams they have played
Whoops! Your assessement is totally wrong. He is hurting his team more than he is helping them. Such a dirty selfish player.
Ullmark was INJURED
It’s not going to work again. Here’s why.
The refs are actually doing their job in this series.
this aged well HAHAHAHAHAHA
Hey , Tkachuk knows how to play Hockey.
I laughed out loud when you said Vegas won't be as effective in game 2 because Tkachuk got into their heads at the end of game 1.
That's hilarious.
Meanwhile…
Game 2…
Vegas 7
Florida 2
😅😂😂
“i ThInK tHAt tHE vEgAS gOLDen KniGHtS aREnT goNNa be aS doMiNaNt aT thE StaRT oF gAME 2”…. 💀💀💀💀
What a prognosticator this guy is. Vegas really looked bothered in the 2nd game, LOL.
This prediction about game two didn't age well. Tkachuk and his team brag about being Thugs, they are proud of it. When a team has no depth they do what they can to beat a team. It's not working now.
I know the narrative is that the Knights are playing disciplined hockey while the Panthers are taking dumb penalties… the truth is that the Knights are playing just as dirty as Florida but are getting away with it, for whatever reason. Their (Vegas) cheap shots , hits to head, and goalie using his stick as a weapon, are being ignored by officiating while all the media spins an untrue and biased narrative…. typical.
this doesnt aged well 😀 that sht about game 2 lol 😀
Uh huh….so effective that it provoked Vegas to slam 7 goals in…….and punish that chimpanzee Gudas
Well now that we can assess the results of your comments…..
Boy! Were you WRONG!
7-2…..yikes! Tkachuk’ nonsense didn’t work…..
The VGK are the least penalized team in the league and they know their strengths are staying out of the sin-bin and rolling through 4 lines and 3 d-lines.
Also, they’re pretty deep as for leadership, #’s 7,3,23, 8, 49 and 32 have all hoisted The Stanley Cup and I’m thinking they may just do it again….
2:50 famous last words.
Did you watch game 2??
I think it's more that Vegas is getting in Tkachuk's head
Don’t think it worked for game 2 but we’ll see tomorrow in game 3.
Tkachuk is a goon. I hope someone takes him out permanently.
not a tactic its being a sore loser
VEGAS NEEDS TO EITHER TAKE HIM OUT COMPLETELY, OR JUST TOTALLY IGNORE HIS BULLSHIT. I VOTE FOR TAKE HIM OUT !
Hague is 6 ft 6 I don't think Tkachuk is going to get in anyone's head. Yeah the VGK blew them out in game 2, but by all means keep doing what you're doing LOL.
A menace? He's a petulant little 4 year old who's getting schooled by men.
Vegas all the way
The reason why VGK is beating Florida pest control.
Tkatchuk looks like a frustrated player who has no answer and is throwing a tantrum with dirty cheap shots.
Ugly Behaviors: Hasn’t really won many games, as Florida faces elimination? 🤠
Tkachuk when this is over will soon be passé.
Congratulations to Golden Knights on their 2023 Stanley Cup 🎉
Damn they LOST bud
Matt’s tactics got him a broker sternum… great plan…
😂 he paid for it! They Fuc*ed him up mentally and physically! Everyone runs their mouths until you get knocked out. I can’t stand players like that so I’m glad he got bones broken for running his mouth. I like clean hockey between the whistles
😂quite the tactic, he got laughed at right in his face and then got himself hurt😂 at least he had a nice view of vegas hoisting the cup from the press box🎉🎉
And I’m glad he got hurt for how he is .
Tkachuck acted tough with Edmonton until Kane came along, then he showed he is nothing but a coward.
I think tkachuk tactics got him a broken sternum. Kolesar laid his ass out for what he did to eichel. Tkachuk got exactly what he deserved
We know what happened (it's end of June), but your observations were correct. What's missing from the aftermath of Florida's playoff run is reporters asking the right questions to Paul Maurice, their coach. He has talked about injured players and playing thru pain but not a word about his players' excessive scrums and penalties and lack of discipline. If this stuff was his strategy to compete for the Cup, he failed miserably. In addition, to bring this trashy play to a Stanley Cup finals series is disrespectful to the game and the fans. This series must rank as one of the worst in recent years, on par with the Montreal/Tampa series.
Lol…it was a 4-1 series 🤣 the Tkachuk moves didn’t help and it’s ice hockey so if he wants to fight all the time the refs should put him in the penalty box for roughing.
Panthers got their ass kicked in the finals
