Matthew and Brady kept the promise they made to their mom
Basically a normal match. NHL regular season between Ottawa And Florida – The Panthers are still balancing in the playoff zone, the Senators are outside the top eight of the conference, but they are leading in the fight for the wild card – it has turned into a real show. For two, the teams scored 166 penalty minutes, and Ottawa had only nine players left by the end of the meeting.
The biggest brawl on the court arose in the middle of the second period, after the Ottawa forward Brady Tkachuk drove into the hosts’ goalkeeper Alex Lyon. It is noteworthy that at the same time, the brother of the forward Sentatorsz was on the court – Matthew Tkachuk. And he also took part in the fight.
But we must pay tribute to the Tkachuk brothers: they fulfilled the promise given to their mother – never to fight against each other. The brothers closed this issue at the beginning of their career in the NHL.
It is noteworthy that Matthew and Brad are the sons of the famous American hockey player, World Cup winner and Olympic silver medalist, who has played about 1,200 matches and scored more than 1,000 points in the NHL, Keith Tkachuk.
Brady Tkachuk was selected fourth overall in the 2018 Ottawa NBA Draft. At the end of the 2018/19 season, the striker got into the symbolic team of the championship rookies.
Two years older, Matthew, entered the NHL in 2016, being selected by Calgary in the first round of the draft under the sixth number. In 2022 Calgary traded Matthew Tkachuk to Florida for Jnathan Huberdo, Cole Schwindt and Mackenzie Wiger. Florida gave Tkachuk an 8-year contract with a total salary of $76 million.
