I think there is entirely too much negativity directed towards Tkachuk. Yeah, I think he likely learned some lessons in this run - but by in large the dude had his best playoff run to date.
I generally think there's too much negativity towards players who play on the edge in this market. We need more players like that.
Hell, we pay $5.25M for a gentle giant who does nothing for the team - but for some reason he's loved and gets cheered every time he touches the puck...but we turn negativity towards a winger who stands up for his teammates and scored 100+ points. The stupidity in this is incredible.
Tkachuk is a beast. Love that guy, and hope he's here long term.

That last fight was pointless. He should have got his pound of flesh from the fight in game 2. If Klingberg does something stupid then yeah I have no problem fighting him but it was an unnecessary fight.
