Tkachuk really has been a thorn in the side of that organization which is why I could never not like him.

For sure, I think to the Tkachuk family though, it was unjust. They basically pressured Matthew to have to fight Kassian and risk injury. I think the Tkachuk's have a legit beef with the Oilers organization and the City of Edmonton. Their hatred for them is real. Even in Matthew's introductory presser after the trade to Florida, he still had to dig at the Oilers. Brady is also extra combative when he plays the Oilers. Matthew's "shoutout to Flames fans" was just from the Sportsnet interview. He had an interview with a US network where he dug at the travelling Oiler fans too; he had no sympathy at all for those fans who travelled so far to see their team lose.
