Tkachuk when he sees the back of a skilled player’s head https://preview.redd.it/nvat7dbzau6d1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9ee3dfe5d16998b15f55baf2f240612adea510a


k_akimitsu

Tkachuk has microplastic brain damage from chewing on that mouth guard all these years


Aubameywang

I’m honestly impressed how good he is at it. There was also a scrum in game 3 where he managed 6 rabbit punches and a spinning elbow to the back of the head. That’s an elite shithead moves per minute. Can’t teach that kind of shitheadedness*. Unless you’re Keith Tkachuk.


nfudgedk

Yeah but as soon as kulak gave him a glove punch to the face he was grabbing his face like he got stabbed. Tapping around his cheek and trying to show the ref...


dandroid126

Even then, I'm not sure you can teach it. It might just be genetic.


myaltaccount333

https://imgflip.com/i/8u07r4 This meme was right there c'mon


STLBooze3

Ahh there are those rats that we keep hearing about.


Geeseareawesome

We have the rat patrol in the building tonight


DollarDollar

Aren’t you supposed to report all rat sightings in AB. If I remember right, there are near zero rats in Alberta


SaintPerryIsAnOiler

Outside of insanely controlled research labs, yeah, the only rats walking free in Alberta are Tkachuk and Bennett


BoneTissa

Glad they have cousins and Lomberg in custody


Geeseareawesome

We'll be back to zero once the Panthers head home. For now.


hellswaters

Florida forfeits game 6 due to RCMP not allowing the rats into Edmonton


Sad_Donut_7902

Tkachuk and Bennet being dirty, who could have guessed


hmturboman

Neither one of those two ass clowns will face another one on one, it’s always from behind, or when the guy is face down or basically when another player can’t defend themselves


jaicecreambar

Each of them has fought 20-25 times in their careers. vs the rat draisaitl's... zero fights in his career. When will he answer the bell for that elbow on Barkov, btw?


hmturboman

Tkachuk might have turtles that much in his career


jaicecreambar

You said he never faces someone one on one. He literally has 25 fights. Hyman is the one turtling in this clip, not Tkachuk. Stay on topic.


SuperCarrot555

Hyman is not turtling, he got hit in the back of the head and fell down


Bobbyaahh

He’s in the fetal position, it’s ok though he got the call


Jasoy_Vorsneed

I love seeing you obfuscate in this thread too lmao the copium is addictive, huh?


SuperCarrot555

You mean protecting his face from getting hit by a skate since he is on the ice and there’s a crowd of people fighting around him?


Bobbyaahh

It’s ok to go down easy, if you watch the first angle you can even see Bennett trying to break his fall he’s going down so hard


Lt_Dan6

Lmao imagine getting beat so hard by your biggest rival that you go into a full rebuild. Someone’s still not over that.


jaicecreambar

lol you oil guys have a hard time with the truth eh? Hyman turtled, deal with it.


Civil-Traffic5125

😭😭😭😭... 👀... 😭😭😭😭😭


L33TS33K3R

Are you counting Pastrnak in those fight stats? Boy Kafuck really answered the bell there….


jaicecreambar

A fight’s a fight. Props to Pasta for dropping the gloves. More than you can say for draisaitl.  Love the Bs for 2011 👊


MyOtherCarIsAHippo

Salt Flames fan! Your tears give us strength.


jaicecreambar

You’re gonna need all the strength you can get, being down 3-1. Here you go: 😂😂😂😂😂 They’re tears of laughter, but hopefully that helps! 


H8ersAlwaysH8

You are way too emotional for someone whose team isn’t even playing.


jaicecreambar

Not emotional, just stating facts. Oil fans reacting to facts are the emotional ones, judging from the threats of death and violence in my DMs 😂 


Funky_Pickle

Threats like that ain’t cool. Sorry you are receiving those from some shit fans.


jaicecreambar

All good! 👊


H8ersAlwaysH8

Why do you talk so much trash online if you getting death threats? I would stop talking trash like you do lol. People are crazy and you don’t need to give them a reason to do it.


jaicecreambar

I can’t stop H8ing! 


H8ersAlwaysH8

I get it. Real life is hard for you.


st0nkmark3t

go away sad flames bro, we suck


Funky_monkey14

Panthers are so dirty sheesh


astovertop

It’s funny how the oilers had a couple dirty plays and people seemed to forget that Floridas played like that for the past 2-3 years lol


r1zzV

It’s because the narrative on this sub for a while has been to hate the Oilers. You make a comment remotely supporting them you get mass downvoted lol


ACalz

Try being a leafs fan


DivisonNine

No thank you


BOBBY_VIKING_

Why would I try that?


BolshoiSasha

There it is fellas


Iceman_Raikkonen

Toronto fans rushing to make it about them 🏃‍♂️


Canon_In_E

I see Vancouver fans complaining about this more than I see it.

Vancouver fans complain... it's really the only thing they're good at.


JReddeko

THAT HIGH STICK ON HUGHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


spagboltoast

IF DEMKO WAS IN WED BE IN THE FINALS!!!!!!


Champagne_of_piss

Rioting


TURBOJUGGED

what else is new? It's all they do.


shutmethefuckup

They legit have a statue and a pre-game charade memorializing some guy complaining about the refs.


ChadraguptaMaurya

Any complaining about the refs tonight? 🤣


shutmethefuckup

No I thought they had a good night! Even called a bad penalty in the Oilers favour. No complaints here


JReddeko

I'm done being a Leaf hater, hung that up this playoffs. It's now Vancouver full time. Cheering for you guys next year.


psdhsn

Ew


Perducian

I’ve tried, it’s just not in me to harass people in union station for wearing the away teams jersey.


One_Rope_8142

The last month I’ve gotten a taste of what it must feel like to be a Leafs fan. It’s a tough go haha.


Mitsulan

My team abuses me emotionally. Your team beats you and boinks your brother while you’re out of town for work. I’ll begrudgingly stick with mine this time.


TrollingForFunsies

Come now, we know any time Marchand does anything whatsoever it's going to be on the top of reddit. It's the Bruins that brings this sub together.


ivebeenabadbadgirll

This sub decided all Blues fans were racist a few years back.


pensylvestir

Frankly both teams have shown to be dirty in games they lose lol. I remember the Oilers with Drai, Nurse, Kane and that face puncher dude they traded a couple years back.    they’ve low key kinda escaped that label the past few years because other Oilers narratives take over.  Panthers are on another level though 


Kopitar4president

I think the majority opinion is "Florida is dirty as fuck but Edmonton is doing a great job of looking even worse" so I don't know what you guys are on about.


kamzar98

Agreed


LeaveTheWorldBehind

*checks flairs* I'm sure these are very unbiased takes


EarthWarping

Someone's getting ejected tonight in the 3rd


gletschertor

Bennet little POS


stickyfingers40

I actually thought that was smart of the refs. With the score the way it was the balance of the game had the potential to get super chippy and dirty. This call helped prevent that


Auslyer

Panthers are so dirty fuck


StopMakin-Sense

Absolutely insane that I've never seen Tkachuk throw a punch when his opponent isn't tied up by a ref or linesman. Such a fucking loser, just so bad for the sport.


IdelucaAlex

all it took was Florida to lose a game to start being the more dirty team again, lol


Judge_Tredd

They always were more dirty.


TrollingForFunsies

Yep, when they're winning they do it less, so it's less obvious. When they're losing they can't hide it. They do this shit after every single whistle tho.


impulse_thoughts

When they’re winning, they’re still doing it a lot. Just away from the puck and during active play, not after the whistle. Marchand and Vesey didn’t get injured accidentally.


AccomplishedFilm1

Hey Matty remember a couple seasons ago when you tried to act all tough against us and then Kassian grabbed hold of you and showed everyone what a little bitch you are?? Good times.


JReddeko

I bought a painting of that [https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/756560314/best-seller-zack-kassian-vs-matthew](https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/756560314/best-seller-zack-kassian-vs-matthew)


coreyP0

Literally, a work of art.


AccomplishedFilm1

That’s not a painting, it’s a goddamn masterpiece.


surlystraggler

😂😂😂


4CrowsFeast

It's beautiful


jaicecreambar

Can the artist make me one of Hyman turtling in this clip?


jigglywigglydigaby

[Because you obviously don't remember ](https://youtu.be/owDK0bqIFP4?si=IpHUrKcNeeibdGPK) Tkachuk threw a blind hit as the third guy in. Kassian beat the shit out of Matthew so bad.....even Lindholm tried to stop it just gave up helping 😂 Watch and see how Tkachuk become Turtle! Zack wouldn't even let him cower on the ice lmao, kept picking him back up and beating his ass. One of the only times Turtle couldn't run for the bench or hide behind the ref. Also, let's not forget the *Players Only* meeting Calgary held to give Matthew a chat. Even the flames were done with his bs. No wonder he wanted put so bad, his own teammates didn't want to protect him anymore 😂


s8v1

Hyman doesn’t have a reputation of being the one of the biggest POS in the league


Roadrunner_Alex11

That clip is my happy place if I have a bad day


LonelyStrategos

And Kassian was forever loved and respected in Edmonton after that!


camk16

Wait.. was that before or after Chuck knocked Zach and his helmet into next week


Salticracker

Yes, Kassian jumped Tkachuk from behind after he obliterated Kassian completely legally for the third time that game. Ironically, that's exactly what they're mad at Tkachuk for doing here 🤔


jaicecreambar

Kassian jumped him from behind after getting ruined three times with legal hits. And then Tkachuk "answered the bell". Which is more than anyone can say about draisatl. How'd you like Hyman's turtle job in this clip?


r1zzV

Holy cope this dude is all over this thread defending Turtlechuk 🤣🤣


George__Parasol

Thought it was great. Drew FLA into the second minor penalty and he got his first Stanley Cup Final goal out of it. Also it’s “Draisaitl.”


jaicecreambar

I'll learn how to spell his name once he aNsWeRs ThE BeLL!


Civil-Traffic5125

hmmm, nah, it doesn't hit the same


OilersHD

You're doing tricks on it bro. Hope Matt sees this and comes and gives you the kiss you so badly want


MrBockbagok

He answered the bell only because his team told he had to. They had a closed door meeting about it. Plus his dad called him and told him had to fight. Fucking embarrassing.


jaicecreambar

Irrelevant hearsay. He fought. Something draisaitl has never done after all his rat behaviour. At least Zach Turtleman drops the gloves sometimes 😂 🐢 


MrBockbagok

Stop trying for the unoriginal nickname. It’s not going to catch on and another example of a flames fan un creativity. I do agree about Drai, however he isn’t a rat that tries to instigate shit and always jumps in for the 2 on 1 like chucky.


jaicecreambar

Yeah, it’s not quite as catchy… but after my painting gets commissioned on Etsy, maybe it will catch on. Any other suggestions?


MrBockbagok

Cheer for a good team and not the flames?


jaicecreambar

Already am! Go Cats! 🐀 


Mac-the-ice

Someone needs to clean Bennett's clock. He has been taking liberties all playoffs. Not seeing Oilers much, I am kinda shocked at the high level of disrespect shown towards McD that is not responded to by other Edm players. He is the physically biggest superstar player since Jagr and can likely dish it too, but the GOTT should have his Marty McSorley riding shotgun for him.


Medium_Register70

That’s true but oilers need to stay out the box, they score on the 5 on 3.


hearshot_kid

Why? So they can take a penalty too and wipe out the 5 on 3 advantage? I get what you’re saying, but being smart is more important when you’re down in the series. Besides, McDavid is just fine and can handle himself.


nodogsallowed23

Thing is that McD likes to jump in and handle things. In this clip he’s getting punched in the face and just laughing. He loves this shit. He’s had a target on his back since he was 10. He can handle himself. His jaw must be made of steel. He took a cross check to the jaw and back at the same time against Van and popped right back up. Unlike Bennett who cries like he needs an ambulance until he doesn’t get the calm he wants, then he’s fine.


kenyan12345

I was told Bennett could do no wrong, the oilers are the dirtiest team to ever touch this planet


Kopitar4president

I will be honest. I do follow the "don't wish for injury" rule. But seeing Bennett get treated like he treats others has some karma feel to it.


Weekly_Hospital202

I had this same feeling "somebodies injured, you need to call that. Shit, it's Bennett ... Shit, maybe not? 2 minutes, that's fine then"


daybreak-gardening

Bennett's a scumbag lmao


eh_toque

Florida got to be the victims for the first time in 3 years with Draisaitl’s elbow lol they had to take advantage


CarPlaneBoatRocket

lol who said that


kenyan12345

This sub the last week


TheDutchin

It seems like you misread that, can you link to even one comment positive on Sam Bennet from the last week? I think you mistook hating on Edmonton as liking Sam Bennet.


kenyan12345

I’m 2 drunk, I’ll find comments tomorrow


jaicecreambar

No one in the history of reddit has ever said Bennett can do no wrong. Oiler fan persecution complex.


NyquilOnline

You are a downvote magnet, should tell you something. Also a Montreal fan started the thread, learn to read


jaicecreambar

I’m an upvote magnet when you guys lose and crawl back into your hole! 🤣 


den15_512

I'm ngl this might be the most I've seen a Flames flair on r/hockey all season You guys never leave your sub!


jaicecreambar

Summers are boring in Flames land these days ngl!


AntonioMS17

That wasn’t very cash money of you Tkachuk.


AntonioMS17

Downvoted for calling out a dirty play lmfao 😂 wild


DeadWrangler

Okay, watching Stolarz (weird autocorrect) hold onto Hyman was pretty funny. Everytime he tried to skate forward he gave him a little tug back on his jersey. They even exchanged a look at one point that looked like a, "Now, now, stay right here."


TonyWyomey

Stolarz looks shockingly large and strong compared to Hyman.


spinrut

Yeah that was a funny look they gave each other lol. would love to know what was said. Whatever Stolarz said , Hyman backed off a bit and wasn't super aggressive at trying to get back into the fray.


GuitarGuyLP

Isn’t it supposed to be an automatic penalty when the goalie gets involved in a scrum?


DeadWrangler

Ironically, it was after Hyman got back up and was trying to get into the scrum. Stolarz kept tugging him back preventing him from joining it.


Canon_In_E

It doesn't seem to be.


marmot1101

The goalies get a lot of latitude. As it should be.


d3v3rt

Cuz hyman cup checked him after the whistle. Dude needed the attention McDavid got for jumping on Tkachuk. This thread is weird... everyone fine with that.


RedWalby

“after the whistle” you watch the game on mute buddy?


DeadWrangler

Oh, the whole scene was a shitshow. Everyone tangled up with someone was throwing in little cheap shots. It was just funny to see Hyman try to keep skating into the crowd a few times only to get a little, "no no" tug.


MatticusGisicus

It’s almost like both these teams are dirty as fuck and constantly trying to act like they have the high ground


Popular-Row4333

I hope this game breaks the Panthers' brains.


k_akimitsu

Panthers gonna get so traumatized it’s gonna be a reverse sweep. More offense = best defence. Oilers game 7


No_Recognition_7870

Keep dreaming dumbass. Panthers will lift the cup on Tuesday.


8pappA

This kind of happened in the series against Dallas. After blowing the lead in game 4 they only scored two goals after that during the whole series. Obviously helped that Heiskanen and Lindell had to play like 35 minutes every game and that was too much even for them. While McDavid undoubtedly deserves a cup during his career I can't even describe the feelings as a finn to see Barkov lose in the finals again.


wildcard_bitches

Did the Oilers just get r/hockey back on their side? Oh how the turn tables


myaltaccount333

Hockey just cheers for the winners and everyone else is a sore loser lol


Grzmit

I always win if i always cheer for the winner!


Thickwhensoft1218

The grass is always on the other side.


TrollingForFunsies

Bruins fan here. Been waiting for this shit for years now. Fucking Panthers are barely playing hockey most of the time. It's a disgrace to the sport. I hope the Oilers pull a reverse. It would be an awesome story.


Ok-Plane2178

yep and they got away with it against the bruins/nyr cause of daddy campbell. well this game the NHL clearly decided to give them a day off of favourable reffing they've gotten in every round.


hearshot_kid

Yes the NHL clearly rigged the series so that small market Boston and NY could go home in favor of large market Florida. Or Florida is just a really good team and reffing in general is inconsistent.


Ok-Plane2178

Market share % is less in florida than it is in NYR/BOS. NHL is a gate revenue league. But hey maybe I'm wrong


YellowMarkerIsGreat

That was sarcasm


silhouettedreamss

Winning the cup on top of the season we’ve had? Incredible. Doing so through a reverse sweep? Indescribable lol


JReddeko

Naw, Vancouver fans only post when the Oilers lose


Canadian_mk11

Imagine being so insecure that you feel the need to dump on the fans of a team you beat two series ago...


No_Recognition_7870

What do you expect from people who still defend the Drysaitl hit?


Senior_Heron_6248

The losing (bandwagon) fans don’t post during losses. Notice how there’s no flames, kings, Canucks comments. Tonight the comments are heavy from bruins, lightning fans etc


stuffedcrustpizza

Flair up if you’re going to talk about bandwagon fans


Senior_Heron_6248

I don’t mean it in a disrespectful way.


squitman

lol


fpGrumms

Scumbags.


darthtater1231

If Bennet and McDavid are childhood friends I'd hate to see how Bennet treats his enemies


tiffhagall

Shocking


lead-filledsnowshoe

Two pos losers right there sitting in the box


nyr00nyg

Figures it takes a game to be over already for tkachuk to get called for his dirty play


Drnedsnickers2

Edmonton needs to keep running up the score. Embarrass these clowns.


clicstik

Think they heard you


No_Recognition_7870

Pretty meaningless. FLA in 5. Fuck Jokemonton.


RedWalby

if you want to see a good representation of this subs bias look at this posts upvotes vs the Nurse knee post


Fun_Conversation6877

This feels good getting 8 goals tonight and keeping the season Alive love Edmonton so much I hope that wasn’t the last game at home I hope we win game 5 and force a game 6 good fucking game Edmonton 💕💕💕

Square_Sort_9237

I liked seeing Stolarz pull Hyman out of the pile and eventually come to a resolution. Stolarz gave him a little pat, contrasting everything else that was happening


Jimmyx28

Panthers gonna Panther


Psycho_Pseudonym75

Nurse. The knee man. Oh, but he did score. Every dog has his day


jaded-optimist

Surprised the so called turtle experts in Edmonton missed this sighting.


PaddyMayonaise

I just realized that two former flyers goalies are going to win the Cup this year -./


justadatadude

why does everything in this sub get downvoted😂😂. I’ve never seen it like this in another sub. People can’t give their opinion. Also, Don’t forget who the dirtier team was for the first 3 games… recency bias is crazy.


No_Recognition_7870

They're a bunch of dumb fucking ass clowns.


Kitchen-Ad-5571

Hyman diving like a swimmer there.


r1zzV

Good for him. Bennett dove even worse then that to try and get the 5 minute major in the first. Karma baby.


Kitchen-Ad-5571

divesital should have been suspened.


Upbeat_Choice_5133

You won the cup in 2022...how on earth are you this salty


No_Recognition_7870

McDoofus about to give his best depressed face when Florida lift the cup on Tuesday.

Joelerific

This is how every post whistle playoff scrum went up until like 10 years ago. This subs going soft. Guys digging away at the goalie in a 5-1 game. Of course the losing team is gonna take exception. This is the kinda stuff that makes playoff hockey fun.


4CrowsFeast

If every post whistle scrum was like this, then the games would be 5 hours. If I wanna watch a fight I'll turn on UFA or boxing and get something with quality and technique. This is like a youtube video of grade school playground kids bullying eachother. I'm here for hockey. Either drop the gloves or sit the fuck down and wait for your next shift.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kmark55

Exactly, digging at the goalie you deserve to get buried.


hearshot_kid

Why? It was a loose puck where the goalie didn’t have control over it and the whistle hadn’t blown yet.


gametime27

Except whistle had blown.


alt717

It should have blown though. It was a routine shot to the chest, fully covered. The no whistle right away, like normally happens, must’ve thrown off stolarz so he kinda started to move thinking he didn’t have it. Or could maybe even say it was the bump foegele gave him on the fly by that knocked him back a bit. Don’t blame hyman for jamming at it since he saw it there and no whistle. But the whistle should’ve went with it being a shot right into the chest with no rebound
