He wanted the captaincy in Calgary, so I believe he believes he is providing leadership. Reading the comments of fans of Tampa and Florida recently I think you could make a case Tkachuk is single handedly changing the narrative that Tampa has successfully bullied the Cats despite their recent success. I’m not a huge Tkachuk fan, but if he gives his team a bit of confidence to not be intimidated by their closest rival these recent antics could pay off larger in the long run. Kind of like over aggressive in a loss of game 1 but an investment in a 7 game series.
