It's not the single action. It's thay he just does it continually and the refs (and once upon a time in Calgary, his teammates) get sick of it.
He's a more effective player when he doesn't do it too. As the last two regular seasons and the first three rounds of these playoffs show.
I'll be honest... the thing I was most frustrated with in these playoffs as a Flames fan was Tkachuk staying away from the extra carriculars and playing a controlled and effective game, which he was never able to do in the playoffs for Calgary. But watching these two finals games and it's him in the playoffs for the Flames all over again, probably even worse TBH.

Which is why the Flames were paralyzed about making MT the Captain. He's a great shooter and a great player in the league. But he's entitled and a bit of a hothead, still. Not Captain stuff... yet. Maybe some day.
