This Was Classic Tkachuk
Nhl hockey today – The first month of the 2024-25 NHL season is almost over and there have been plenty of great games and goals , standings surprises and our favorite (and least favorite in some cases lol) players getting reacquainted and back up to their old tricks. That panthers vs islanders game was peak matthew tkachuk and he broke the game open not with mcdavid mackinnon speed or auston matthews elite shot , but with his rat king facet of his game. Especially that first matthew tkachuk goal sums him up perfectly in a nutshell lol.

Fear the Hog!
This was in fact the most Tkachuk play possible.n
If you don’t want to lose your stick, perhaps don’t hook people. 🤷♂️
Poor varly
I am so glad he's on my team. He and Bennett rub off on the rest of the team as well. It's beautiful. Cats are the Fuck You squad
Chucky ? Oh that is a great name for him. I hate his guts, like I used to hate Marhcand, Matt Cooke, all the elite back stabbing , hit avoidong, predatory rat bastards. I often wonder what our team would have been like, where we might have gone, if we'd taken Chucky instead of Laine with our pick.
Just shows how the Pans won the Cup. Two tiered reffing.
He's the most protected player in the league right now, refs don't let anyone near him for long.
Absolutely hate him but want him in your team sooo much, + the cheesy smirk is elite Dick Dastardly!!
Canucks still missed out on him. Grrrr
florida fkn sucks
Refs not doing their jobs again
SHORESEY
Nhl is the top league and we do not need filthy dumb players like this in it. Either have a talent and work hard of g f yourself with this rat stuff. Thumbs down.
He'll be an elite player like Sean Avery some day
If you haven't seen Child's Play, you don't know why they call him Chucky…
Bro… are the F…ing kidding me? If Rempe on the Rangers brushes against a guy he’s thrown out of the game. NHL IS RIGGED!!!!! STOP WATCHING!!!
NHL IS RIGGED YOUR PROOF IS RIGHT HERE!!!
thanks for another solid vid. i saw comments online about this goal before i watched this vid – appreciate the context and comments
He may be a rat but he’s a damn good rat
What a fucking rat…
him and his brother are right up with merchant for being the worst sportsman in the entire league!
The rat king at it again it seems!! Vamos Gatos
Yeah textbook. Right out of the dirty player textbook.
Actually heard about this from The Winged Wheel Podcast guys, had no idea it happened. This situation is hilarious, and the most Matthew Tkachuk play ever – certifying him as the new "Rat" in place of Marchand. Also, Ryan on WWP said something I agree with. The crosscheck should have been goalie interference, like that's still a penalty in the NHL. It doesn't just apply to things related to a goal. My guess is the Zebras didn't even see it.
I mean by NHL defenition this is actually goalie interferance, you're allowed to score while inside the crease as long as you dont interfere with the goalies ability to reset, which he clearly does because by the time he gets his stick on the puck hes physically in the middle of the crease and varlomov is clearly making an attempt to move over and look behind him which hes totally unable to do because he has tkachuk pushing on him and shoulder shoving him, the fact this was allowed and the fact people dont understand the rules is insane lol
Fuckin’ dirty but I’ll give it to chucky it worked 🤷♀️
