Besides didn't Gaudreau say in an interview after most of the bench didn't even know what happened at the end of the game to Tkachuk.

That's a theory for sure.
It just isn't a fact though.
With most rumoured things there is likely some truth to it, and but it resides somewhere in the middle.
My guess would be ... Tkachuk overreacted a bit to players not coming to his defense. I think there's some truth to the idea that players were leaving the ice and didn't see it. And then in that discussion some players suggested every night didn't have to be chaos.
But he certainly wasn't himself, and that's on him.
