Matthew Tkachuk is an absolute MENACE

- Mathew Tkachuk is an absolute menace and todays game 4 matchup between the Boston Bruins vs the Florida Panthers, he was at it again. It started after he got absolutely laid out by a huge open ice hit from Charlie McAvoy. A few minutes later as the period ended, he retaliated on Hathaway with a nasty cross check from behind as Hathaway went down and a scrum ensued. This built throughout the game and after Boston blew it open, it boiled over with a scrum in front of Ullmark and Tkachuk and Ullmark went at it! Ullmark got tossed in the end but it was another great game in what has been a fantastic NHL Playoffs. I cover it all in todays NHL hockey video!

Matthew Tkachuk?
Getting "revenge" by hitting a different player in the back, after the whistle?
Must be a day ending in Y.
Then going for it again at the end of the second, too.
Seen him so many times come in as the second man in on a check throwing a blind side hit. See kassian
"That'll show McAvoy>:]"
Sounds like Marchand..lol. Too bad, so sad, I guess. I'm not a fan of either team, but the hypocrisy here is obvious.
Tell us you don't play without telling us. 🙄 If you can get revenge on the ACTUAL guy that hit you, great, but if not, anyone will do. Can also be accompanied by a "you can thank your teammate for that, bud.". That's how it works.
I still don’t understand how Matthew Tkachuk didn’t get a single penalty, but yet Carlo, and Forbort got minor penalties for fighting, and Ullmark got a 10 minute misconduct, and because there was only 3 minutes left in the game he had to leave,for basically doing nothing except throwing his blocker and glove to the ice.
He got a misconduct, but how he didn't at least get a roughing minor, I have no idea. I guess it really didn't matter in the end but still. Pretty absurd since he is the one who started it all.
Ullmark was kicked for using his blocker to punch. If a goalie uses the blocker to throw a punch they are gone! Has happened a few times this year where a goalie gets the boot for using the blocker to punch. Nothing to do with the team removing him, it the rules
@Cardboard Sports Sorry, but you're mistaken. It was said in the post-game press conference the choice to remove Ullmark was Montgomery's. A goalie can still play with a 10 minute misconduct being served by another player.
A player, except a goaltender, who is assessed a Misconduct penalty will be removed from the ice for a period of 10 minutes actual playing time.
I'll say, he's fortunate it was more of an open hand slap with the blocker then the blocker itself...as a goalie, that's what I looked at.
I still don’t understand how Tkachuk didn’t get a single penalty though
@@tsrpzep dude he just put up a 100 point season, and was like 3rd in the league in scoring. Shut up, you have no clu
He cost his team the game. Senseless penalty after the 1st period ended. Bruins score on the power play. Changed the momentum .
If you think Tkachuk cost his team the game you’re a moron. He’s the only reason it wasn’t a sweep and they’re scoring any goals at all.
Only reason why the panthers are even in the playoffs is him lol
He didn’t lose the game, the Bruins just kicked them with good playing.
No
@@PaulA-uz5tk lose*
Tkachuk needs to realize he has the hands to play at another level.. that goal was gorgeous. But, dirty as fuck and hiding being a ref when about to get dicked down by BIG PINUS LINUS shows he ain't there.
he's SUCH a great player but he's gotta learn TIME AND PLACE. took marchy a while but he finally figured it out. hopefully tkachuk learns that, too.
Lol Tkachuk is leagues better than Marchand and already putting up back to back 100 point campaigns while pissing off every other player of opposing teams in every game. I think he’s figured it out
@@rawleywilliamson3852 i don't mean skill wise, i just mean when to be dirty/risky.
@@rawleywilliamson3852 , leagues better? Do you follow hockey? 😂🤡
@@rawleywilliamson3852 BOY you do not know hockey whatsoever
That Tkachuk cross check is a clear attempt to injure. 3 game suspension to Bunting.
3 game is too much.... he should be suspended for the next one... but the NHL will not do anything ... they are cowards..
@@john-ry9tn 1 game, 3 games, makes no diff. Series ends Wednesday night in Boston.
Lmao as a die hard leafs fan this was funny af 😂
This series isn't going past game 5, it would be more of a punishment to let him play in game 5, because once that game gets put away, it will get ugly again
@@josephcurreri9289 Although I would LOVE to see Ullmark clean his clock !
Yeah he's a menace, to his own team...
Meanwhile, Marchand stepping up like a grown up, staying out of the penalty box, away from the scrums and nastiness, and just making plays. 0 PIM through 4 games. He's playing with maturity, being a leader, focusing on the job, winning games.
Yes. Totally.
And Taylor HALL played Conn Smythe caliber this game. HALL is back and at the best possible time
March only plays the villian when he can get a rise out of someone... dudes real nice off the ice
In all fairness Matthew Tkachuk has yet to commit sexual assault on the ice
Marchand has always been a great hockey player, no doubt, But it's his antics that make hockey fans hate him. I agree has has cleaned up his game. Maybe with age he'll become a gentleman on ice as well. (Habs fan here.)
Bear in mind Marchy is almost 40 and had plenty of time to mature
Side note: Ullmark didn't get tossed from the game. He only got a 10 minute misconduct, served by Pastrnak. But Montgomery decided to pull Ullmark from the game to "avoid any additional nonsense"
Everyone loves physical hockey in the playoffs, but plays like that cross check need punishment. That was so dirty and cowardly
Hathaway flopped. Even Staal was mocking him for his apparent "injury"
@@Mr.Pants45 Yea right, what a ridiculous comment, a Panther mocks him so that means he flopped? He wasn't even looking. He didn't even expect it.
@@bpmccaff could give a fuck about a guy who spits and flops as much a Bitchaway does. But you can continue to Bitchaway if you want. Go drink some more Bud Light Dylan.
@@Mr.Pants45take this 🍼
@@Mr.Pants45 there is no padding where Hathaway got cross checked. He felt that.
Bro if this was done by Bruins player, everyone would scream for game suspense
Definitely
Yeah and you'd be defending him. That's sports dude. I love Marchand but I'd hate im if he was on another team. I'd take Tkachuk on the Bruins any day.
100%. Especially if it was Marchy
@@MikeySkywalker Two rats in one team is too
@@user-rp1ld9tc9w I'll take all the rats I can get. Give me Pat Maroon and Tom Wilson too. Marchand has not really played that role this year anyway. By the way, here in Boston we see Marchand being called a rat as a compliment. So keep it coming Sergei.
The reffing these playoffs have been atrocious. How Florida was on the PP after all that is insane. Every game though it has been terrible
this time they were correct
The inconsistency is what the players hate. You establish how the game will be called then completely go against the grain. Perfect example is game 3 Toronto Tampa where Braydon Point’s obvious goal that went in b4 the whistle was called back while Marchand’s same play was called a goal.
But I think the inconsistencies in penalties come down to having 2 officials on the ice. How many times is the guy behind play outside the blueline making a call while the ref standing 5 feet from the play never raises his arm?
Every year it’s the same thing. The first round is typically called tight & turns into a special teams series but then as the # & quality of referees get whittled down you see a more traditional approach to penalties.
2019 Stanley Cup was called tight the entire way until the finals & the refs just swallowed their whistles. It turned into 1990’s hockey where everything short of paralyzing a player was fair game.
That Cup hurt the league in so much as it reinforced that old standard of anything goes in the playoffs, which is obviously not the direction the NHL wanted to go. Thus this battle plays out on ice in each series where the refs are trying to maintain the new standard but the players the crowd & the ratings are suggesting a happy medium between old & new is far more entertaining.
I also think these refs are too much influenced by the score & by by the idea of needing to even things up so that a bad call is in turn followed by another bad call on the other team. It takes away from the flow of the game.
A great official is one that I don’t notice his number or his name. But that is a rarity in today’s NHL unfortunately
I don’t know what I would do without this channel
This channel, Eck, and the hockey guy literally have made this season for me
One of the top moments in the magical Boston Bruins 2022/23 season so far was watching Tkachuk taking the cheap shot against Hathaway at the end of the first period and then watching the Bruins score on the power play at the beginning of the 2nd period! Instant Karma! Let's Go Bruins!!!
It’s only gonna be magical if they win da Cup
Taylor HALL
Did you see those eyes? HALL smells 2017 all over again
@@canadiansoviet Even before he scored the first of 2 goals tonight, Taylor Hall was the player of the game, almost like Chuck Coyle was the man in game 3!
@bostonwhofan
Bruins are coming together. Next series will be a worthy challenge. The whole team just looked ready to take on whatever. And Tkachuk is nothing really. Bruins got 2 good goaltenders, Hall coming to play, McAvoy with the massive hit. Yeah, these guys look legit
Don't forget foligno, he's really stepping up too
the rats always get me😂
Did no one else see what it was that got Ullmark so pissed? Look at the initial crash to the net. Tkachuk cross checked Ullmark right in the face while he was going down. Then all hell broke loose. That's why he was pissed.
he deserved it for being named linus LOL
@@anonjohnnyG LOL shut up
Get glasses. His was blade down and he was holding it only in one hand. Stick was against Ullmark chest, but Tkachuk hands were up.
It wasn’t anything serious but Tkachuk knows exactly what he’s doing and that’s going to defcon 5 and saying fuck winning let’s just agitate as much as we can by crossing a line that has a spectrum of a simple chirp session or a Donny Brook like yesterday depending on what team your playing.
That’s never gonna fly with Boston
And after the skirmUllmarknwas standing there watching his teammates stickup for him when tkachuck was being held by refs went for another punch at ullmark. That's when he threw the gloves down and asked him to dance.
Maybe one day the NHL will start punishing players for cross checks like that. It needs to stop.
Yup, they don't call that, but if you hit a guy's stick, it's a penalty?
The league has created this issue with how they’ve been officiating these playoffs. If you let someone on Boston Molly wop player like tkachuk this issue goes away. But instead they’ve settled for dirty off puck head hits
A clear attempt to injure, caught on camera... and only a $5,000 fine? The league is so dumb. We all like rough stuff but not dirty hits like these.
@@MVProfits sadly that is the max fine, it should be more
The league is more interested in making the game woke
Go Ullmark, throwing the gloves and taking off his helmet was wicked!!! Go Bruins!!!
Yes, Go Home Bruins, Go home lol. Take the L
Alternate title : Matthew Tkachuk is no longer in the playoffs.
he’ll be golfing by Tuesday
@@Balmain_jacket they don't get knocked out til Wednesday though
@@counterfit5 ya i noticed that last night but it’s happening regardless
@@Balmain_jacket should be but he is getting under the skin so much it may take another game.................just doing his job and no I am not a fan of either team.
Damn looks like he still is.
It’s a blessing he’s out out of Calgary as we are now blessed with even more of his antics in the postseason 🤣
Idk how I found this channel I’m glad I did, keep up the great work brotha, these vids are mad entertaining
I don’t mind players who have a little rat in their game(my favorite player is Marchand) but Tkachuk hurts his team by doing the things he does. Something Marchand learned.
Right and so will matty but people act like Marchand was never this dirty which he was and has had 10 years to get cleaner
@@APenguin292 who in the hell is saying marchand was never this dirty 😭 i could be wrong but this sounds very strawman-y
@@bee-kt2ys that's what i was gonna say. no one, not even boston fans, would ever say that marchand was never dirty lmao
@@user-us2dz5dq6ehe did lick someone though
You make it sound like Tkachuk is a rookie... he's been in the NHL for 7 seasons now.
Being a Bruins fan at this game was amazing. I personally love the Tkachuk brothers, they are old school hockey in a new Era. The keep the game interesting and highly skilled. This guy is pretty much carring the Panthers right now but Boston is gonna lay him out before this series is over I think
TROLL
@@az8theist977 that troll is correct.....not understanding the emotions of the game is defining you
@@alpearson9158 And not knowing anything about me or my history makes you look like an idiot.
you thought wrong
Sam Bennett with the low key spearing on Hathaway when he was down might actually have been the dirtiest of plays.
They are very hateable....
god imagine him bert and marchand on the same team. i don’t think the league could handle that 💀
Difference is it seems like Marchand finally changed to just a pretty decent player without the dirty stuff. Let's see for how long.
Tkachuck is just a moron.
Ullmark would’ve kicked his ass…. If Matty was actually brave enough to fight him. Neely wanted to come down there himself - imagine that beat down.
no goaltender does well against a stong skater in a fight , just not possible with all that equipment
Love havin bertuzzi on the Bs
Stamkos did the same shit with a no-call.
How did Tkachuk not get an extra 2 on the cross check to the neck (not mask), twice, before the fight? He is a class one schmuck. I hope one of our tougher guys invites him to dance at the opening of the next game for going after our goalie!!! Message NEEDS to be sent!!!
I don't even like Boston, but I wish Ulmark would have bashed Tkachuk's head in with the blocker
Me too…
Or stabbed in the throat with it…
Watching either Tkachuk bother get his bell rung puts a smile on my face.
I’m gonna sub You make pretty good videos
After the crosscheck, Bennet gave a shot to Hathaways cup while he was down too. Hathaway was asked about it but said hasn't watched video yet. Should be an interesting game 5
Yeah, the Tkachuk crosscheck was disgusting. I hope Hathaway will be back the next game and Kronwalls him cleanly but hardly!
Hathaway is no Saint
For sure. I agree he is no Saint and that's why I like him. Just thought that part should be noted. Ha
I spent the entire evening last night watching the Round 1 and 2 series games of Calgary vs Dallas and the battle for Alberta and watching Tkachuk was equally parts entertaining and infuriating. My hockey education is going well.
gotta love ulmark
The Tkachuk’s are a few siblings short of being the O’Doul’s from Billy Madison
I don't think any of them can even count to potato.
@@mhicaoidh1 hmm both boys had very high gp averages so don't misjudge
@@alpearson9158 I know scientists and doctors who are idiots too. "Grades" are meaningless.
Tkachuk is turning into a Sean Avery.
I’ve never seen Ully get worked up and I loved/watched him before he came to Boston as a bruins fan
I’m an old fart - life long Bruins fan - but a hockey fan first… I admire how this dude plays : )
Not a fan of any cheap stuff - and that goes for my team as well.
Admire?!?! Make up your mind though, he's all cheap stuff. He gets space bc players know he'll cross check them in the back of the head and won't bat an eye. He's the kind of kid who's dad whooped him at an early age and criticized his 'toughness', so now he cant help but go over the top to get daddy's approval. He'll be out of the league in 3 years bc of retaliation and iinjury to him or suspension for cheap shot hurting someone bad with a non hockey play. Cant control his emotions. Go Bs
He isn’t a power forward, he’s just a big guy who can score some goals, then does cheap plays.
Lol. Take the L.
I hope Hathaway (please correct my spelling) ends up being alright. Sure, seeing players get checked and all that may be fun, but it's never fun seeing someone get hurt.
I'd also like to say I'm relatively new to hockey. I know a few names and generally how the game is played, but I'm no expert. I went to my first game a couple weeks ago. I love your videos because the style. I like how you mention a notable event and go on to summarize the game. Sometimes, your commentary puts a smile on my face, so thank you, Next Man Up!
Sad man needs a 1 game suspension. But his season will be over soon enough, series is as good as over.
That cross check matt hit on Hathaway...
fun stuff at the end
Now he’s sitting here in the Stanley Cup Finals while people still complain
Didn't win, though, did he? 😜
From one yinzer to another. Thank you and keep it up!
Tkachuk hit Hathaway in the Kidney
Yes he did….
Cheap shot…
He knows there’s no pads there too
@@michaelcalland801 aww its ok you are a hoommoo so you don't know much
He's won me over by now with his play this postseason. Kind of hilarious how he went after people in this.
I'm a Bruins fan and Tkachuk is a player you would love on your team but hate when he ain't. That's hockey.
I hope we have a good game tonight ....no bs cheap shots just all out war on the ice best of luck to both teams.....i got a feeling we are in for a classic!
You were correct lol. Panthers got the dub
Matthew Tkachuk seems like the kind of guy who goes home after a loss and beats his wife and dog.
I really think this is Boston's year. They look great on the Ice and Ullmark is having one helluva year
☠️
aged well
I mean... He was... Until he got flattened by McAvoy lmao.
Nah it was mostly after that 😂
Ullmark didn't get ejected from the game, only got 2min. Boston took him out to save Tkachuk and avoid them trying to do some more shady business and risk injury.
Edit: Don't forget about Bennett cup checking Hathaway after that Tkachuk cross check AFTER the period was over. Classy. /S
Pretty sure Ullmark got a game misconduct
On the box score, he was recorded as getting a 10 minute misconduct
@@Daniel-cw8lg while true, it states it was served by Pasta, which would have exempted him from the ejection.
@@LordLambda ya it wasn’t a game misconduct and I think he could have stayed by the rules but it also wasn’t a 2 minute
the call was if I recall a misconduct for the blocker to the head please correct if wrong but I mean this was also with only 3 minutes left with a 5-2 lead so you gotta wonder if it's really worth it to putting one of the best goalies (for the Bruins) back out there and risking another scrum between them and risking him getting hurt. This is also in the case he could actually come back if it was a 10 minute misconduct
I wanted Seattle to get Matthew so bad his rookie season in the NHL was awesome. He's a great player tough as barbwire and looks out for his teammates.. The Bruins of the past 20 yrs have been jerks anyways.
Should have let him fight the goalie imagine losing a first-round playoffs and getting beat up by a goalie. Go Bruins
Imagine having the best season ever and then losing in the first round 😂
Ullmark slashed the shit out of him for basically no reason which is why he went after him in the first place.
Tkachuk is a fucking menace. His interview made it sound like the game plan was to dive like a soccer player throughout the game. Honestly, he just rubs me the wrong way and I wouldn’t even like him as a Bruin, to be honest.
Between the legs was SICK!
I remember when Kassian threw him around like a ragdoll . Greatly enjoyed seeing that
Lol and his team won because of that PP and now Matt has defeated the Boston bitches. Sucks to suck.
Tkachuk is a real prick for that, the period ended and there was absolutely zero need to cross check Hathaway like that. At least Hathaway was alright to play the rest of the game but wow what a dirty move from Matt Tkachuk. Also throwing out Ullmark was so dumb, Tkachuk was literally punching him what do you expect Ullmark to do
I think Linus got tossed because he hit him with his blocker not for the actual fighting. I think it was Pasta that served his misconduct for him, Monty just removed him for safety reasons.
Correction : Ullmark didn't get tossed. He was pulled from the coach
He wasn't pulled by the coach. He was given a Misconduct penalty by the officials. It's a matter of game record. Look it up.
Simply if he'd been pulled by the coach, he'd have stayed on the bench. However, when assessed a Misconduct penalty you have to go to the locker room.
But, as I said, look it up. The penalty is a matter of game record.
A goalie can play with a 10 minute misconduct. Another player serves it, just like a minor. Montgomery pulled him. The Bruins are looking ahead. Great decision by Montgomery.
@@mhicaoidh1 Goalies get penalties all the time. Did you ever see one in the penalty box?
Doesn't matter what's on the record, it was being served by another player. Montgomery confirmed it was part of the team's decision to pull him out of the game, because the Panthers had been playing dirty and didn't want to risk anything happening to him.
@@nealshirley6479 Yes, it appears they have updated the game track today from a game misconduct (20) to a misconduct (10) served by Pasternak.
Still doesn't quite explain why the referee clearly ushered Ullmark off the ice, and why he left the bench instead of sitting in the goalie seat.
But, whatever ... order is restored.
@@mhicaoidh1 Montgomery pulled him and sent him to the locker room to protect him. The ref was making sure he wasn't coming back.😏
Awesome game!
Tkachuk is a man in a league of boys.
smart to have the big boys forbort and carlo on the ice when tkachuk was on with 3min to go
His father played the same way. Both are (were) very talented who cross the line often to the detriment of their teams. It's also funny for us Bruins/Celtics/Pats/Sox fans that he is best friends with Cs Jason Tatum when they were growing up in Saint Louis, MO.
He's a throwback to the old days. A great player with edge. Maybe it gets out of hand but no one can deny his fight. When did we start embracing pussy hockey, I don't know. Reading the comments, you would think Bruins grew up on the ice capades and not nhl hockey.
@@rockmyballsplease It's just a different time. When I was a teenager Tie Domi was coming up through the AHL and played for my hometown Binghamton Rangers. Used to watch him beat the stuffing out of guys several times during his time there and nobody thought twice about it. League kinda put some stuff in place to curb the fighting and increase player safety so younger fans didn't get the experience you and I may have grown up on. You know if the roles had been reversed and Marchy gets in a cheap one after the whistle we'd probably defend him like cat fans are doing with Tkachuk. We know most other fanbases see us as the bad guys. At least some of us do.
@@scifiguy333 if #63 does something cheap and it affects the Bs, we Bs fans call him out. No one who knows hockey defends a player skating in to something he's not involved in to blindside/crosscheck a player in the back...'cept florida....that's why it's, on paper, a good destination for him. zero brains all around
It takes a special kind of guy to make Marchand look like a good guy.
kids a star. He plays the game hard - sometimes too hard and stupid. He will grow up
Damn who would have thought that Florida would go on to win 3 straight to eliminate Boston for the shocker upset
I'm just glad Bergeron and Krejci weren't there to get any cheap shots. Get through this series Wednesday and get the 1/2 centers back in good shape
Just another Goon in the NHL. There have been many...
Look out, fairways, Tkachuk's comin' for ya!
If anyone watched the isles /canes and oilers /kings game 5s did you notice that they each had a player score from the same spot both deflecting off their mouth? What are the odds
Would have been interesting to hear what Jack Edwards was saying about Tkachuk actions lol.
I'm sure he was darn near going into cardiac arrest.
@@shankapotomousclanker5767 Close to it, especially after Hall's 2nd goal. NESN probably needs an EMT detail just for the announcer's booth
If Florida wins he's a menace, if they lose he's just another player who does not know how to use a mouth guard.
I just heard the league gave Bunting 2 more games for this incident
He needs more Kassian cure... 🤜
Keep up these short videos they are great!!! Ullmark has been god this year. Tkachuk is slowly becoming one of my favorites and Hockey is soooooo good right now.
I agree, hockey has gotten a lot better recently and it's hard to get people to understand
Soon as that hit happened I knew it would rile his ass up.
Ulmark wasn't tossed. He was penalized and Montgomery put in Swayman. Tachick wanted out and embarrassed himself while quitting on the game and his team.
Same script when he played in Calgary!!
Dang I want Binnington vs Ulmark
I hope the panthers win the next game in brutal 70s style flyers fashion. No fear of injuring many Boston players badly. Then wrapping it up in seven against depleted bruins team.
You mean a absolute menace about to make golf plans for the weekend.
Saw a comment on facebook, dude said "Tkachuk use to be a player I would love on my own team until he starting taking these idiotic penalties" and I couldn't agree more. What's worse than losing 5-2? Being an asshole coming after a tendy, cross checking in the back of the ribs, and chewing that damn mouthpiece like he a kid with untreated ADHD in calculus
Those are some incredible scores. I love the luck factor involved lol
The first Bos goal wasn’t reviewed. The original call was overturned on the ice.
Loved this game ❤️ (the woman is a bruins fan)
Someone on the Bruins should have pointed to the scoreboard when Linus was trying to kick his rear end.
linus looks at scoreboard, "yeah? and? so? what?"
Never seen the rats before...lol. That is SO appropriate!
Tkachuk has so damn much talent , I he’d just play to the line instead of crossing so many he’d be incredible .
But that shit he said to Nosek from the bench should never have been released. Marchand said it best after last nights gm
Hathaway was his teammate in Calgary as well lol.
Ktachuk is just a DIRTY player period!
Well done Linus!
He, like Benn, were the reasons their teams got as far as they did ANDDDDDD were the reasons they didn't get any further. Stupid assed penalties cost huge.
Ullmark didn't get "tossed from the game." He got a 2-minute penalty served by David Pastrnak. They decided to give Swayman the net.
Don't put Linus in with Binnington
Ulmark gets a 10 minute misconduct for just trying to defend himself against an unprovoked attack. Tkachuk initially cross checks the goalie, grabs his face mask, and the later sucker punches him and gets 2 minutes.
Tkachuk was obviously just trying to provoke Ulmark to get him tossed because he thought his team might fair better against Swayman.
At some point I saw a panther player try to cross check a bruin in the THROAT, thankfully he guarded against it or else that could’ve been horrific. I swear, the panthers and leafs are playing really dirty this first round
$5000 fine to Tkachuk. Should have also gotten a 3 game since he also has a history of going after goaltenders.
Cmon Mathew!!
And you all think bunting is bad. Seriously I love these guys they make hockey great men's hockey is the best there is.
Ullmark did not get tossed, he got a misconduct penalty, and was replaced by his coach.
I dont mind hard hits in hockey. But crosscheck from behind under the ribs... This should be at least one game suspension or few minutes in locked room with Zdeno Chara.
