More of that unicorn talk...

And now they’re together against the Maple Leafs -- Maurice as first-year coach of the upset-driven Florida Panthers. Tkachuk as maybe the most unique National Hockey League star, the rare combination of skill, brawn, personality, combustion and leadership, and a likely finalist for the Hart Trophy as most valuable player. All of that in one player.

Over the past two NHL seasons combined, the scoring leaders in the league are McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Tkachuk in that order. Marner is sixth, 17 points behind Tkachuk; Matthews is seventh, 22 points behind.
Tkachuk is eighth in penalty minutes in that time. His younger brother is third. Most of the players around the Tkachuks are designated fighters or those who take up space at the bottom of NHL lineups.
