Did Tkachuk go overboard? No question. But it's the first game of the season and it looked like he had some built up anger ready to unleash on Brendan. It was most definitely personal and you can tell by Lemieux not even having the puck...

Did Tkachuk also set the tone for the rest of the game? I honestly think he did. I can't believe all these Winnipeg D prospects are really so bad that they can't safely exit their zone. That top line was causing countless turnovers partly because the opposition was too scared of getting hit and gave up the puck anytime Tkachuk came near.

It was like 15/16 Hudler out there with that D making sketchy passes instead of skating with the puck or taking a check to make the play.

And I wonder how safe little Marner felt with Tkachuk on his line? Safe enough to win a Memorial cup.
