The best part about the oilers being pissed about a rookie flame is that they will lose focus tonight and Tkachuk will love every second of it. Seems like just the kind of thing he will thrive in. I just hope he scores and does some more damage, cleanly though. I think Burkie and BT love it too. Not sure we will hear them come out and say but I bet they do.
Tkachuk will need to be more careful tonight, the league will likely be watching a bit more closely after wednesday night and the alleged slewfoot on Davidson. I am not sure still after watching that clip a few times. It kind of looks like Matty was trying to nudge him with his shoulder and Davidson leaned on him knowing it was coming and they just went down together awkwardly. But I can see how many think it was a slewfoot.
Tonight will be fun.
