Congratulations to the Tkachuk men, based on my reading here you have done the nearly impossible, united fans of the Senators, Leafs, Habs, Oilers, Canucks & Jets in desire you all just go away
Russia is allowed to play at international tournaments again, we finally get legitimate best on best hockey. It sucks we were unfairly robbed of watching Alex Ovechkin and a stacked Russian team at this past Olympics but politics usually ruins everything. The fans won today.
It never ceases to amaze me how hockey media will endlessly bemoan the lack of personality shown by players but then immediately label any visible personality as bad. And then fail to make the connection between those two things.
Per Michael Andlauer on @ComingInHotSens: Brady Tkachuk said "Some things never change eh boys" as he skated by the #Sens bench after scoring
A Few Moments Later: his team gave up 5 unanswered, his giveaway led to the game winner & his night ended in a temper tantrum
A change of pace as Sens fans give a LOUD standing ovation to Lars Eller in his return to Ottawa 👀👏
Eller played 68 games for the Senators last season.
I won’t apologize for being happy about THAT regular season win. That was a playoff game in the middle of the regular season.
To all these third party fanbases chiming in:
A few chants I’ve heard at the Canadian Tire Centre during Brady Tkachuk’s return to Ottawa (there are more I just don’t have the space):
“We don’t need you”
“Traitor”
“whose your daddy?”
“You eat crayons”
“You’re a sellout”
“You can’t read”
