Johnny, who has been busting his ass and leading production, emphasized that he can do better and that as a team they can all play better and need to.
When Tkachuk was asked to evaluate his performance since the Muzzin incident, he laughed it off a bit, deflected by saying the media is just stirring things up and pointed to how the team had won 4 of 5 games since then and said they were trending in the right direction.
Johnny came across as caring more about the team and performance. Tkachuk came across as a bit dismissive and arrogant. Personally, I think those attributes have been mirrored by on ice performances so far this season.

I wouldn't put too much stock in that there's people that are smooth and know just how to act and what to say around the right stakeholders while not actually practicing what they preach and then those that dont. Not saying that's the case but you cant read too much into anything without knowing what's really going on I think. For all we know everyone else is full of it and Chucky is the one fed up.
