Well exactly Johnny. That’s the whole god damn problem. It doesn’t matter what game of the season it is. You need to show up and care and show fire. Now to Johnny’s credit, he has. But Tkachuk now isn’t. That’s why he should sit if he’s sulking. But that comment from Johnny really bugged me. Exactly what’s wrong with the attitude of the Flames.
I bet at that players only meeting Tkachuk realized, this group will never do it. Not enough fire pun intended.

JG’s quote was framed a little different IMO. It tended to lean towards that they didn’t see it on the ice, saw the replay when getting off the ice, and didn’t think it warranted quite the reaction (and sounds like it wasn’t the first time Tkachuk had gotten this upset), “but that was MT being MT”.
That and whatever previous similar beef JG mentioned, sounded like it was more a MT personal/individual issue that he reacted to, not a “I’m upset the team lost and now I’m the only one getting emotional”.
He has looked off significantly. Seems to be happy making or trying to make one play a shift and if it doesn’t work out, that’s it, he’s got no confidence. And yeah if that team meeting clipped his wings a bit, he’s likely not in a good space yet.
