I think it’s a result of the culture in the room. It’s pretty deflating to give it your all, be vocal, expect a lot out of your teammates and then get shunned for it.
I hope they get rid of the country club attitude before Tkachuk becomes another victim of this terrible hockey team.
I hope

I think all this stuff is greatly exaggerated. Just your typical media driven BS. He's had a really hard time finishing on chances and reading the play. I don't know how culture or room dynamics affects that. How many blind passes up the middle has he connected on all season, like 1 maybe? His hands have gone straight to the dumper this season, missing easy rebounds, easy tap ins and who can forget that embarrassing whiff of a turnover that lead to the empty netter last week, ugh.
I did see some real chemistry between he, Lindholm and Gaudreau though. They would've been even better had Tkachuk executed a bit more. But with more time together, I do think he still has the tools to completely turn it around.
