Just because a lot of NHLer support him, doesn't mean that's a good thing. Not sure what Cliff's point really was.

I didn't say it was a good thing. But nobody should think Tkachuk is an anomally. Odds are the Americans who play for the Flames voted for Trump and would happily shake hands with him.

Also anyone shocked Matthew's Tkachuk is a trump guy should beat the stupid out of themselves. The rich American neop baby voted for Donald Trump? Shocking, shocking.

Because he gave them fair warning and allowed a sign and trade. It's not his fault the trade turned out so badly.

Pedophile, pervert, misogynist, bigot, narcissistic moron. Anyone who still follows him is nothing but a gullible racist- there’s no other reason to be on his side.
Unless you’re rich, which they are.

Yes the council on sports, fitness and nutrition
I'm not sure why anyone is surprised he's friendly with the president who put him as a sports representative on his council.
Short memories??

He forced his way out as an RFA. He had to give them fair warning as they owned his rights.
How often does an RFA superstar force their way out from their drafted team.

Looking back there is no way Tkachuk would have extended in Calgary even if Johnny stayed.
Alberta is too left wing and liberal for him.

Has that council actually done anything or been mentioned since then? Some of the people mentioned to be on it later said they didn't know anything about it or agreed to be on it. It sounded like something Trump just made up to surround himself with famous athletes.
Anyway, get Reinhart and Marchand off the Canadian Olympic team, and don't call Bennett as an injury replacement. It's embarrassing that they are representing Canada.

Tkachuk's comments were outright disgraceful to the sport of hockey. What a dip####.
"The two Cups was pretty good, but that walk with you might've Trumped it all... Nothing beats this. I'm so proud to be an American, and so proud to be here with you."

He's getting dragged by lots of people on twitter, way more than those examples (you wanted the article to list all of them)?
Who were you thinking would openly criticize him?
