Tkachuk is the player that drives this team, if they try to harness his emotion that's a huge mistake.
They don't need to meet in the middle, Tkachuk needs to play his style and his game.
He draws a tone of penalties

I agree. I think the temper tantrum afterwards was the overboard part. The part about the flip was silly. He couldn’t have thought in that second his on ice teammates weren’t scrappers. He lost it. All I’m saying his with him he has to pick and choose his moments. In recent years Marchand has been just as effective toning it down and maybe has had more respect with teammates. There are moments when Lucic and whomever will have to fight for tkachuk, and that comes with the territory. Do it too often (which hasn’t been the case to be clear) and he’ll be a guy teammates won’t stick up for. I think that’s more than fair. Know when to push the boundaries.
