Tkachuk's "immaturity" or whatever also creates a lot of powerplays for the Flames.
Oh, I'm sorry, he's causing them "fatigue."
The chances on the powerplay should more than make up for having to enter a scrum.
Aside from that, it's not like most of the roster is doing anything else with all that energy that want to save. So who knows, maybe just buck up, let the kid play his game, and do your job?
If (and it's a big if) any players wanted Tkachuk to cool it because it was making it harder to focus on their game, fine. But now Tkachuk is considerably "cooled," so where are these guys? If you don't want Tkachuk bringing his game, you better bring yours to make up for it, and I'm not really seeing it from anyone.
