Tkachuk's Empty Net Tantrum: Will he be suspended like Morgan Rielly?
Brady Tkachuk should forever be known as a hot-head, as last night his actions mirrored, the Toronto Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly.
When the Ottawa Senators battled it out with the also disappointing New Jersey Devils, the game ended as Nico Hischier scored an empty net goal.
Tkachuk's reaction was immature and unlike Rielly who would cross-check the Senators Ridly Greig, Tkachuk would make it a point to take a run at the Devils Captain Hischier. The group would have to be broken up by officials, as Tkachuk wanted revenge on Hischier, undoubtedly.
Which was an opposite reaction compared to when Greig slapped a goal into the Maple Leafs' empty net.
He doesn't sound like a Captain here, just someone who likes to run his mouth:
"I'm not gonna lie to you. I was crying, laughing. It was pretty funny at the time. TSN has been covering it for the last four days since it happened, so they still haven't moved past it. And it's on every morning when we're sitting in the lounge watching TV. It's still on and we still can't believe it, We've moved on and it's still such a big thing."
Tkachuk's reaction is nothing but hypocritical, wrong, and lacking in any kind of sense. But given that it's the Senators, you can't expect much sense nowadays.
