Tkachuk had elite defensive metrics dating back to his rookie season. Let’s not pretend like he became a 2 way force once Sutter arrived. 3M line was created in 2016 5 years before Sutter showed up

Sounds like someone who didn't watch the game but checked the box score
He assisted on the go ahead goal...but was partially responsible for the tying goal. It's frustrating that with a few seconds left he decided to not cover anyone. At that time in the game just grab a guy... certainly seemed like he was more interested in an EN goal.
He also taunted the crowd which is fine but then choked at the end of regulation and OT...should have won the game first. It was a fitting end considering his comments about Sutter not starting him in OT.
To be fair if it wasn't the Oilers nobody would have cared
