Matthew the Turtle Tkachuk or Matthew Wenneberg sucker puncher Tkachuk?

Which one garners more respect?

The book is not written on Olaf.

Nobody respects Tkachuk. A disgrace to the fine art of rat hockey

Yup, the truth is out, Chukky is a coward, a phony.

Somebody gonna get a hurt real bad!

His turtling from Kassian is one of the most cowardly turtles I’ve ever seen

Do you believe top 20 scorers should have to fight 4th line energy guys? Should McDavid or MacKinnon fight Reaves?

No but they shouldn't poke bears then hide behind refs either...

McDavid and McKinnon don’t play the rat game that Tkachuk plays, if he is gonna play that way you don’t turtle the way he did against Kassian. Disgusting

In a lot of ways, Tkachuk reminds me of Burrows. I see why you guys hate Tkachuk 8-) I know I Burrows wasn't going to get a Christmas Card from me or any other Flames fan.

The Flames clinch first overall in the west. Now comes the real test. I think they can get by the first round, although it's not a slam-dunk. They will have trouble with the Knights if they meet. Even if they get into the SCF, I can't see them beating the Bolts. I'm a bit concerned about size - the Flames will have difficulty with bigger teams in a grinding playoff series. The goaltending has been better lately, but will it hold up in the playoffs? Anyway, it'll be fun. I'm pretty sure Canuck fans will adopt the "ABC" rule - "anybody but Calgary" :)

Oh, I don't know. I'm undecided. Sorry Wids. I do know 1993 is bout when most were first experiencing "The Net", PC, that is.
Pretty damned :oops: for Canada.

I am a little peeved that your gonna smash our point total from 2011.

At least you made the Sharks sad and depressed for us. Not much consolation for Canuck fans but, thanks. Rock-on.

Burrows was a pest but he did not turtle like Tkachuk.

Anybody but Calgary... unless it's the Leaves.

Say, what is the plan for staying under the cap next season after re-signing Tkachuk?
