Not a fan of the dirty play by Tkachuk at all. Flying elbow to the head of a player without the puck and then crosschecking him in the head while he's down (in an exhibition game) has people singing his praises? Popped Lemieux pretty good with a cheapshot hiding behind the linesman in the scrum at the end too.
He wanted to make a statement? The statement he made to me was that he is easily rattled and will retaliate idiotically when chirped, to the detriment of his team. Is he saying "say my name" repeatedly to Lemieux in the box in the 3rd? First time watching him play - bad first impression, in my books.
