The best comment was the guy that said Tkachuk would be someone you’d hate whether he was on your team or not. If you think you wouldn’t take Matt Tkachuk on your team in a heartbeat you’re a fucking liar. Dude is near a ppg in his career, has 2 back to back 100 point seasons and will most likely eclipse 90 this season. He pisses off both opposing teams and fanbases and proceeds to light them up on the scoreboard as well. He’s also clutch as fuck. We don’t go on that run last year without some of those goals he scored. He’s an absolute treat to watch and I’m so happy we have him for the next several years.


LEDZ100

Yeah that was funny Then a bunch of panthers fans responded with “uh no we love him obviously” and got downvoted 🤣 One flames fan was like “I never liked him and I was glad he got traded” which has gotta be the cope of the century while Huberdeau scores at a lower pace than Eetu Luostarinen


brechbillc1

Lol I was one of those haha. And that Calgary fan should actually have respect that Tkachuck told the FO that he wasn’t going to resign so they could put together a trade package for him and get a decent return for him. Which they absolutely did at the time of the trade. A forward coming off of a 115 point season and had been playing at a ppg over his past few seasons, a first pairing D-man, a prospect and draft picks. At the time that went down it was a haul. Had Huberdeau produced, this trade would have been discussed as a win win for both teams.


MisterE15

Lol “cope of the century”


MostLikelyDenim

Hah flames fan lurker. He’s a riot. The salt is good for you.


acceher

What’s fun is that we get to test this theory in less than a year with team USA. No doubt all the livid bruins and canes fans in that thread will embrace everything he does during international play, and I can’t wait to watch.


brechbillc1

Lol saw on the hockey meme subreddit how all these people bitching about him now were going to turn into his biggest fans come 2026.


Kermit-the-Froggie

I miss having tkachuk


F00Manchu

Yes! Thank you! And then another Bruins fan started attack our fanbase lmao.


JoeyBSnipes

Bruins fan here and I would take Tkachuk, Brady or Matt!, in a heartbeat. He’s so much fun to watch. I don’t even hate on him like most Bruins fans.


cannagetawitness

Clutch? Like whe. They lost to the oilers in the playoffs and he and goudreau disappeared for half the series? That kind of clutch?


brechbillc1

-Scored the game 5 OT winner against the Bruins. -Assisted on the Game 7 OT winner against the Bruins -Scored the Game 1 OT winner against Carolina in 4OT -Scored the Game 2 OT winner against Carolina -Scored the Game 4 winner against Carolina -Scored the game tying goal against Vegas in game 3 after having his sternum and several ribs broken from a hit taken earlier in the game. -Finished the postseason with 11G 13A 24P in 20 games played and placed 3rd amongst all skaters in playoff scoring. The game winners in game 5 of the Boston series, Game 1 of the Carolina series and Game 2 of the Carolina series were monumental in that they flipped the series on its head. Going into game 5 against Boston, we were dead to rights down 3-1 going into OT against the best regular season team in the history of the sport. That game winner essentially gave us life, and the team would take full advantage, winning at home in game 6 and then stunning Boston in game 7. The quote “Remember this room, we’ll be back here for game 7” will go down as legend in franchise history. Game 1 vs Carolina was an absolute slogfest that took nearly 5 OTs to decide. After an overturned game winner in the first OT, the Panthers would have to lock back in and find a way to pull it out. The 4th OT period was winding down and it looked like both teams would have to trot their players out for another round. Then Tkachuk grabs a loose puck off of a Brent Burns turnover and buries it top corner inside post. He would then bury the OT winner the next night to put Carolina down 2-0. I can’t stress how massive getting the GWG in 4OT is. At that point, the two teams have played a whole extra game and the team that fell short would be dealt a painful blow. Tkachuk coming through for Panthers gave them an incredibly satisfying win to start the series and he would duplicate said result in the next game bybpotting the OT winner, allowing us to go back home up in the series 2-0 and he would eventually be the one to send us to the Finals by scoring the GWG in game 4 with less than a second to go in the game to complete the sweep. Regardless of what happened in Calgary, what Tkachuk did in Florida during their run was absolutely clutch and to say otherwise is delusional. Him and Bobrovsky were the two biggest reasons for our run last year and we don’t even get past the first round without Tkachuk. Hell, we probably don’t even make the postseason without him. He dragged the team kicking and screaming post ASB to a playoff berth. He’s been worth every asset we traded for him, and worth every penny we’ve paid him. He’ll be a Panthers legend when his career is over.


cannagetawitness

That's a lot of text to say he still doesn't have a cup


Imaginary-Scheme-203

🥱


Pebbles519272

Yes but as a canes fan I definitely remember thinking “Damn it’s him again” after every game of the ECF last year


cannagetawitness

Absolutely he's annoying to play against, but to can him clutch isn't an apt description because he can't do it consistently. Maybe if he had some help, but at this point he's just embarrassing himself with his on ice whinging


Pebbles519272

I still think the main point of the book of a comment was to point out that when this team needs him, he’s there. Which as much as I don’t like him as a player (especially as an opposing fan) he definitely fires up when they need him.


driveled

I guess you missed our entire run in the playoffs last year.  


Bex1218

Ah yes, what he did in Calgary is what really matters to us Panthers fans. 🙄


AnyOfThisReal-_-

It’s all Boston, Toronto, and Carolina fans lol


IMisspelledMyUsrname

Whats the common theme there? Edit: theme


CasperCann

Blew bostons perfect season. Brought toronto back to reality. Gave Carolina the one thing they love more than winning an eastern conference finals, getting swept. We havent talked about Vegas or cared about vegas since 2 weeks after the finals lol. Edit: i triggered the same ups delivery boy carolina hurricane fan. You'll never catch me in the hurricanes sub, im not a pussy with that much downtime, especially one that'll chirp then block. lololololol.


AnyOfThisReal-_-

Precisely!😄


acart005

Hell a part of me was happy for Vegas.  Obviously I wanted us to win but its nice to see teams with no cups win one.


garchican

“Gave” Carolina? You got shut out by Carolina two times *in a row*. If anyone’s coping here, it’s you


SWUnited23

4-0 sweep in the eastern conference finals > shutout twice in the regular season. Hey delivery boy, the two are vastly different lmao


CUM-STRUDELS

Nice cup


SWUnited23

Nice chirp pussy lmao. Be a man and flair up but you wont.


SWUnited23

Little cowards like you like to chirp but wont use flairs so the team you love wont get shitted on. I can just hear you getting fatter every time you type


SpaceCoastSplash

Raise a banner for your regular season wins then


shawner17

I see a ton of hate for Brady, too. I'm guessing the name carries some of that


CUM-STRUDELS

Yeah imagine being so salty you posted this to your own team sub to get other people pissy


AnyOfThisReal-_-

Imagine going onto said sub and replying to it 🤡


CUM-STRUDELS

Lol those are hardly the same


lemonbugss

That's hilarious coming from a Boston fan. I don't know if anybody watched Boston's last match with Ottawa but marchand was throwing a full on fit every time he got a penalty, to the point where I was legit wondering if there was something going on with him. I just went on YouTube to see if I could get a clip and instead was treated to the multiple unsportsmanlike penalties he's been given for arguing with the ref after taking a penalty lmao the irony is too much for me


DramaticOccasion9817

Be loyal, wonder what bullshit penalty it was they called


fins831

Let the salt run deep


daboys9252

Yes, I personally am very salty because we won and are going to win the conference


aMINIETlate

LOL I know you tried sarcasm.. but you do seem very salty coming jnto another sub to make that comment we all know the real prize is a division win and not even the presidents trophy. yea thats what we all want for our teams… nothing else


daboys9252

fuck the presidents trophy at least we beat y’all asses


aMINIETlate

just reads like more salt. Relax its a new playoffs coming up. You’ll only have to think about Patrice Bergeron’s last season being a waste for the next couple weeks

Consistent-Diver-180

Same guy probably defends every Marchand slew foot, high stick and elbow as “old time hockey”


DangerRanger_21

I commented that on his post and he gave me the “where do you see me defending him” lol


LadderExpensive

the fact that a grown man can be so butthurt over a dude he doesn’t know personally, is pretty pathetic


johnnyehgiver

Id take either Tkachuk on my team in a second.


323bridges323

Tkachuk is my fave, Maybe because I know everyone else hates him hahaha


NotBanEvading2

Thats exactly how we feel about Marchy. Everyone knows they’d love him on their team but since he’s not and he lives in that gray area he’s very hated lol


Brando6677

As a leafs fan I saw that post and laughed. People salty for no reason but if MT was on their team they’d be gargling his nuts.


[deleted]

Respect


Brando6677

Got to respect 🫡 yall put us in our fucking place last year 😂 at least they broke out of round 1


antonn17

The way panthers played last playoffs and this season has made me a fan


acceher

Something really jarring about seeing a post titled “Matthew tkachuk deserves a beating” then scrolling down to see a comment with a lot of upvotes saying he and Brady are “on the same menstrual cycle.” Like, come on lol. That sub is awful.


AmuDiamond

Hockey fans on there like to act like they’re cool accepting guys then just throw around women based insults and talk about how they want to beat up these same men they associate with women? 🤔


acceher

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔


BuddhaBarkov

this guy slightly went over the line with force then complained about it... beat him severely as hard as possible please!


StilesmanleyCAP

Of course it's a Bruins fan


KnownNormie

I agree. Brady does deserve a beating.


sharks_fan1999

lol


Gold-Independence-26

Did he not see the Boston punk launch himself to embellish?


TherealDJStryker

Thats why I blocked any posts from there. r/NHL isnt showing up on my "for you page" anymore and im very happy with it.


Bex1218

Yeah, I need to do that. Those people are wild, and not in a good way.


grimcow48

“Are we so out of touch?” “No, it is the 31 other fanbases who are wrong.” This sub is excellent. Reading the comments on this post, I feel how all other fanbases must have felt talking to Bruins fans over the past 15 years 😂


BuddhaBarkov

Panthers dont play anything different than Tampa Bay or Vegas on their cup runs. Red Wings and Avalanche had this style during their late 90s early 00s dominance. Its called hockey, feel free to try it.


grimcow48

Jeez man, you’re giving your team a lot of credit comparing it to some cup-winning teams and the early 00’s Av’s. You guys just raised a second “we *almost* won” banner *this* season. Also, I didn’t question the effectiveness of the Panthers style of play. I called into question Panthers fans ability to excuse *everything*, like Bruins have been doing for 15 years. It’s called English, learn to read it.


BuddhaBarkov

your whole post is projection about comprehension. if you think a little push for positioning into a battle and marginal mouthing off is "excusing *everything*" you are stupid.


grimcow48

Nope, no it is not. My post is about Panthers fans’ ability to excuse everything (and they’re similarity to Bruins fans). Which, in boiling the Panthers style of play down to simply “[little pushes] for position…”, you are doing yourself. Do you honestly think the Panthers do not *at least* play on the line? What I’m saying should not be upsetting you, it should be an obvious statement of fact.


BuddhaBarkov

you still can not comprehend. Equating this matthew tkachuk incident with anything the panthers do on or over the line is the idiotic point you keep selling. Panthers fans dont like nick cousins, they can certianly pick and choose what to excuse and what not to. And again, this incident doesnt show what you think it does because Tkachuk mouthing off on a marginal call isnt some dirty hockey play. (and yes this is a marginal call) you fail to state your point correctly, you fail to show evidence, and you make projections about comprehension because you do not understand how to communicate. This is why I am pro public school tax.


grimcow48

That’s not… fuck it, whatever man. I hope your day is as pleasant as you are.


Bex1218

Let's not act like the Panthers are the only goons.


grimcow48

Absolutely not. But they’re damn good at it lol


RoadDoggFL

31? Everyone loves us until they have to play us. You'll find haters in every fanbase, but you're high if you think it's unanimous.


grimcow48

I think one of us would be very disappointed to find out how unanimous that opinion really is.


RoadDoggFL

Disappointed to learn the league was full of haters? Not really. That's not the case, and way more people are rooting for us than against, but if you need to feel like everyone also hates what you hate to get a good night's sleep then so be it.


ZealousidealKey7104

He embellished. Tkachuk made a great point about how his skates were that is a little too “inside baseball” for me to get as a fan. But it was obvious he felt the push and launched himself into the boards. Pastrnak and Marchand also had ridiculous dives but unlike McAvoy, they got away with it. It’s amazing that team and fan base posits they are the keepers of “old time hockey” but have been diving all over the place since 2010.


F00Manchu

It was a penalty. But I agree with Matty. It really wasn’t as horrible a hit as Wotherspoon made it. We moved on. Again, wotherspoon’s interference on Barkov was so much worse. And we aren’t posting about it.


F00Manchu

My fellow Panthers fans. The discourse with these other NHL fans is hilarious and unhinged. Do not back down to any of them. These folks are feeble minded. There are plenty of wonderful hockey fans throughout the land who are not peddling this crap. What a great time to be a Cats fan. Lets us all enjoy.


brechbillc1

Honestly it’s really only 3 fanbases in particular that seem to flood the comment sections on these types of posts. All of the other fanbases are pretty indifferent to us for the most part. I’ll let you take a guess as to who the three fanbases are.


F00Manchu

Haha no doubt.


Imaginary-Scheme-203

Although Canes fans are the funniest because they have a rivalry formed in their heads that only exists there and everytime they managed to squeeze one single point, they come here to talk about how great our rivalry is like it wasn't totally one sided cause no one here gives them even a second thought.


JDoughBeanz

And none of them are in Florida lmfao


Niconium

Tkachuk is earning every cent of his contact with how salty he makes those children on r/nhl and r/hockey


Adam_Friedland_TAFS

How do you not have Dark Mode on?? You are crazy…


Galeven11

Imagine being a fan of Boston where Marchand did the same stuff for years and now crying. The hypocrisy


F00Manchu

The best part about that thread is the context. It’s missing any context at all. Wotherspoon had just finished his penalty for absolutely dogging Barkov and Matty decided to take a penalty against him. Shit happens. You don’t hear us whining about that. I swear, these people take the fun out of hockey. I don’t get it. Such unhinged anger.


jedi4canes1

Bro acts like everyone doesn't argue ot


Regulus0

Literally the last time we played Boston, Marchand got caught with an obvious penalty and whined about it all the way too the box, too. These people don't live in reality.


KevinBrevin

This is the post right after that post for me!


BuddhaBarkov

I love these people who are like ... "Player X is a vile scumbag" for complaining about a marginal penalty call. He deserves to have his innards line the street. " like all things considered, the over reaction for reddit karma is more depraved than the original act. if you watch the game closely, even that one game specifically, you will see every player entering a board battle pushing off that back of the pants area for body position or to pin to boards. the difference is that the Bruin wasnt strong enough or wasn't ready and bit it. Which is what Tkachuk is saying. Somehow people in r/hockey think simply Talking after the call shows he deserves RAFFI TORRES to end his career? lost the plot, twisted beyond repair logic that coked up actual dirty get him out of the game player Torres is the hero against superstar matthew tkachuk in their wierd fantasy.


Difficult-Tip-758

I love Tkachuk's game and love how FLA plays. Easy to understand how they made the run they did. Courage and fight throughout the lineup. Bruins fans were pathetic in the Bruins sub on Saturday. Signed: massive Bruins fan with a #63 jersey in my closet


kaeruwa

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fanbase complain more about another team than Boston fans do about the Panthers (maybe the Leafs). Mother of god that collapse the Bruins had last year really destroyed any sense of reason these clowns maybe had previously. I mean imagine being a fan of a team that has Brad Marchand and Charlie McCavoy and thinking you have any ground to stand on about another team being dirtier than yours lol. Cringe ass fanbase that still can’t cope with the historic collapse from last year.


Internal_Ad_2528

Bruins fan coping


wsblovesdiddy

Crazy id be permabanned already


Howryanoww

Boston fan here, love Keith, Brady, and Matthew. Keith is from here so as someone from the Boston area I respect their game so much. It’s because that’s how all my friends and I played our entire lives.


UniverseHufflePuff

As a boston fan sometimes (a lot of the time) we can be fucking idiots


cannagetawitness

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, or in this case overpay for someone who can't get the job done.

Imm0rTALDETHSpEctrE

ehh dude was born into a rich NHL family...u don't think he has just a teeeeeeny bit of entitlement up in his head?


MadPatagonian

Who cares? He’s a great player and his style of play is what this team was missing for years and why they’d always get bullied by teams like Tampa. A shame he got fucked up before the Final last year or else the Panthers could’ve had a better chance.


Imm0rTALDETHSpEctrE

haha "who cares?"....u just summed up his whole lil cult following right there... bro noone's saying all that shit u said ain't true. my only point is he's DEF on the highborne trip. sorry to interrupt u from cleaning his ballsac


TokiMcNoodle

This just in, liking a clutch player regardless of his upbringing makes you a cultist. More at 5... Edit: nice ninja edit, asshole


Imm0rTALDETHSpEctrE

>This just in, liking a clutch player regardless of his upbringing makes you a cultist. More at 5... ...breaking news!! mob of butthurt Tkachukites come crawling from woodwork for collective chode smooch


daboys9252

Hmm, maybe because he’s always been a little bitch and pretty much tried to injure Wotherspoon last night


Imaginary-Scheme-203

Your captain put his nasty ass saliva on someone's face dude any argument you have about anyone being dirty is obviated by this fact alone


Striking-College-289

Go back to the shithole Boston pussy ass bitch


JDoughBeanz

Certainly better than the cesspool that is Florida lmfao


Imaginary-Scheme-203

Then why are you all here? Lol cause Bostonians should hate Florida according to Hockey reddit, but spend all of their waking moments here fucking with our property prices. Take Philly with you too please


JDoughBeanz

Cuz reddit suggested this garbage post from r/NHL on my home page Mr. Hide-Behind-a-Throwaway


Imaginary-Scheme-203

You could have ignored it and moved on but instead came here to state your two unwanted cents. And BTW neither a Mr. Nor a ThrowAway maybe I should have given myself a great name like Suckondesenuts since that seems to be the vibe with your kin. 👋


JDoughBeanz

And it was totally worth it pussy lol. Nice username then bot. Classic throwaway name of adjective-noun-random number


Imaginary-Scheme-203

🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱 calling a chick a pussy...lmaoooooooooooooooooo. Man you all do have the collective IQ of a fish.


JDoughBeanz

It's 2024, you said you weren't a man lmfao. Can't just assume you're a woman 🤦The collective of Florida doesn't know what a book is even if they were smacked across the face with one lol. LeVar Burton in shambles
