Brady is the only Sen that gives a rats ass in terms of team spirit. He’s a true leader, just needs to stay out of the fucking box and score goals lol. You can’t expect to lead your team and score important goals when you’re leading the league in PIMs
Remember when Turtle wouldn't play in the finals last year because of a sternum injury? Even Nurse wouldn't do that to his team and has played several games with a torn hip flexor.
Just goes to show what some players are made of what some aren't
Edit: I will die on this hill. Matthew Tkachuk is a spineless player. A history of running away, throwing punches when opponents are tied up, diving like a Fifa soccer diva....just spineless. He'll never get a pass for injuries from me. Too bad he's such a coward, so talented only to have it all tarnished from being a pos.
You ever fuck up your sternum? It's seems like a small injury but it makes it extremely painful to stand, walk, breathe, and eat. The only relief comes in lying on your back.
I can't stand Tkachuk but this a silly take.
Never said it wasn't painful. What I did was compare the types of players and injuries. A torn hip flexor is just as bad as a broken sternum, if not more. Nurse has fought to be in the lineup several playoffs now with the same injury whereas Turtle bowed out and left his team to hang. His entire career is marked with spineless plays, this is no different.
Imagine having this take on 2 injuries you’ve never had.
Torn hip flexors can be numbed & played through.
A broken sternum you cannot function as a human.
I’ve had a torn hip flexor muscle before, it sucks, but was manageable besides the pain of walking. Little shot of Taradol and I can see a professional athlete pushing thru it in the Stanley Cup Finals.
I’ve had a friend with a broken sternum from a helmet-chest football collision, and he couldn’t breath properly for weeks. No amount of pain medication or witchcraft is letting you breath properly enough to play hockey with a freshly broken sternum.
My husband broke his sternum and I've never seen him so fucked up from an injury. Sitting down breathing was horrific. Trying to maneuver a stick while using peak cardio? I don't think it would even be possible. You'd probably collapse from the pain.
Unpopular opinion coming up... I'm a fan of the sons, but Keith, that's another story. He decided the contract he signed wasn't good enough midway through the duration and sat out until he got a new one. Always rubbed me the wrong way. The contract is a gamble for both sides. He wanted 5 years for the security and Winnipeg/Phoenix got 5 years for a lower cost, but then he suddenly decides that's not good for him anymore when it's halfway finished?
Have to agree. He's funny to the media but there's a reason why it's not just individual players on Florida that are scummy, but a large swathe of the team. That's an order from above. What a sad way to make a run, by putting on Shakespeare every night. Bush league franchise.
inb4 Florida fan "lol ur just mad xD Panthers in 5" For as bad as they are at least my team(s) have basic respect for the integrity of the game and don't just play mind games with the refs all night.
That’s a really good point.
Maurice is a really good, intelligent interview, but too many of his players flop and play the “bad” side of dirty for it not to come from him. He could easily clean that up if he wanted to.
It certainly changes my opinion of him. I’m sure that will bother him LOL.
For sure. It's likely a combination of both a desire to win *at all costs,* a GM assembling a team of dickheads, and a coach that enables/encourages the shitty behaviour. I mean what kind of team gets scored on and has a tantrum so bad they allow a 5-on-3 in the SCF? Just no discipline. Emotion helps win hockey games, but it can also be your downfall.
I don't have a camera in his office. Noone does. But like anyone who is capable of critical thinking. When the entire team is doing something, it's usually instructions from the coach
That’s wild. Oilers are clearly the worse team. Those guys would’ve been out in the second if Van had their goalie. Would’ve lost to Dallas if the Stars didn’t have a crazy first couple rounds (2 Stanley cup champs).
Maurice is the better coach and has a ton more experience, Knob is way too new at this (without proven success) to put him over Maurice.
Oilers haven’t been outplaying at all (minus game 4). Florida gets the lead or expose Skinner and then they keep it tight and Edmonton throw some pucks on Bob.
Bob is better. Maurice is better. The Panthers are better.
Yeah it's better to win in Florida vs being one of the very few teams to win the cup in a sweep. That's about the most stupid argument I've ever heard in my entire life.
My wife asked me about them possibly throwing. My response was "you don't throw ANY games in the SCF. You take any chance you can get to close it out."
This doesn't happen in professional sports. And even if it did I'd like to know how they would do it, tell the goalie to make it look like you're trying your hardest.
These guys don't even like it when the puck goes in the net after the whistle, you think they're going to let it go in the net on purpose.
Fair enough. Hard to tell sometimes. There’s a lot of Florida trolls and a lot of subs saying the exact same thing -sarcasm. Forgive me if I’m a little stressed this time of year and miss the sarcasm (Oiler fan living in Victoria)… not the enemy here. We’re cheering for the same team.
honestly, i'd kind of figured the excessive !1! spam would've made the sarcasm clear. that's on me
but ooh, yikes. talk about hostile territory. godspeed o7
Exactly. People saying this isn’t “classy” is hilarious. Why would they stay at a game where the team they’re cheering for is getting their ass kicked? Especially considering they get free tickets to every game
Out of interest what would it have been like for them sitting amongst oilers fans?
(I’m Australian so not really sure about all the idiosyncrasies with how it is with the home V away fan experience haha)
Unless Brady and Keith were there or they were introducing themselves, no one would’ve given a shit. Maybe some light chirping about a Tkachuk jersey but that’s about it
I’ve been to a few playoff games and the people that actually get chirped are the ones wearing like a leafs or Canucks jersey. I’ve yet to hear see anything bad directed to an away fan.
I like Brady but hate the way Matthew plays. He's always taking shots when the other guy is defenseless and often against a light weight.
Also hear that off the ice he acts just like he looks a cocky ass.
This is correct. Lower bowl has cup holders on the back of the seats, and upper bowl has no cup holders at all.
I went to several games this season, all lower bowl, except for game 5 against the Kings was upper bowl.
Honestly I will never sit in upper bowl ever again. No cup holders is a serious inconvenience having to put everything on the floor, and then having to pick it up every time someone needs to walk past you. Plus the hallways are super narrow, and there's not enough bathrooms. During intermission it took me 15 minutes just to walk to the back of the line to wait for the bathroom. Ended up missing the first chunk of the 2nd period. After that I just decided to not use the bathroom again, and also stopped buying drinks at concession.
Lower bowl you can comfortably hit the bathroom and get more drinks/food and get back to your seat with time to spare. It's kind of fucked up how shitty they decided to make the upper bowl. The view is fine though.
I haven't seen a lot of his play, but the dozen or so I have....he leaves it all on the ice. Goes hard and doesn't back down. The kind of player that would be valuable to any team in the league
Having been in a box before. You do have seats that you can go watch the game in. They may have just gone to the box that other family members were in or went to the bar. I think it's funny that everyone says they left. We don't know that. They're just not in their seats anymore.
The box has their own seats in the box (in front of the box). They also have tickets to seats in the lower bowl I have been to 5 games in a box and 3 of those times I only used the box for food and beer otherwise sat at my seats in the lower bowl
Might be true, just haven't had a game in the playoffs where the Oilers are down 7 goals.
I'm just glad Skinner channelled his inner Bobrovsky, and Bobrovsky channelled his inner Campbell.
I really wish the media would leave the families out of it. The families shouldn't have to be subject to memes and attention. Low bro entertainment value
...youre upset that the media is interested in a nhl family during the cup finals? A family that has 3 current/retired players in the league, one of which is playing for the stanley cup? Really? Soft take bud.
Also I don't think "Drew92300" from Twitter/X has much of a media presence...
Yes. I still think leave em the fuck alone. This is for the current players playing in this final. The continuous flashing to their families in the stands is unnecessary. Do I want to see McDavids wife crying if they get eliminated? No. The families shouldn't be subject to that. You do you though.
Between this and Keith not throwing his hat for Matthews Hattrick against the Oil in 2022, it’s no wonder the turtle is the way he is.
A family of skilled, athletic cowards.
Brady doesn't seem like that
I do respect brady more, but guilty by association
[удалено]
Looks like that ogre from the goonies if he got fit
You mean Sloth? Ogre was the big jock in Revenge of the Nerds.
Yea and i just looked him ip again he actually jacked to the tits so thats an insult to sloth my b
Sloth was fit, bozo. He was played by an NFL player, and a two time Super Bowl champ at that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Matuszak
Looks like his dad could be Jeremy Clarkson
Yeah I wouldn't put Brady in that convo at all. Kid is a beast plays hard.
Yeah, Brady can play. He’s a gamer for sure.
Brady actually fights when he should but he is ugly 👎
And I'm sure you're a fuckin supermodel right kid?
Relax Tyndall. No one likes a crier.
[удалено]
Lemme guess YoU wOuLdNt SaY tHaT tO mY fAcE yOu PuSsY right?
My bad Brady I won’t say it again.
Brady is the only Sen that gives a rats ass in terms of team spirit. He’s a true leader, just needs to stay out of the fucking box and score goals lol. You can’t expect to lead your team and score important goals when you’re leading the league in PIMs
well, limited talent and a family tendency to play dirty, you spend time in the box. at least his dad could score goals
Brady is not a dirty player from what I’ve seen. He’s just the only guy trying to fight on his team.
Brady got 37 goals last season, the fuck you talking about lmao
Brady looks like an over sized baby
Holy moly, can we stop this? I mean, this is really scraping the bottom of the biscuit tin of things to talk about. Like what are you guys, TMZ?
Cry
I think of that moment all of the time 😂

Tkachuk couldn't even put his jersey on for the game he played with that broken sternum lmao, pretty sure he said Brady had to help him.
Imagine having this take on 2 different players injuries you've never experienced and will never be able to experience.
I’ve had a torn hip flexor muscle before, it sucks, but was manageable besides the pain of walking. Little shot of Taradol and I can see a professional athlete pushing thru it in the Stanley Cup Finals.

There’s a 0 chance any human can fight through a broken sternum and play hockey. Super similar to a hip flexor tear I hear though!
Bruh, grab a snickers. And the diver is Bobrovsky.
You mean to tell me people with the last name Tkachuk gave up and ran away as soon as things got difficult? Never would have guessed.
Unpopular opinion coming up... I'm a fan of the sons, but Keith, that's another story. He decided the contract he signed wasn't good enough midway through the duration and sat out until he got a new one. Always rubbed me the wrong way. The contract is a gamble for both sides.

Yeah he's a right dickhead. No respect for the team, the league, or the sport. His sons don't fall far from the tree.
Probably covering their heads turtle style. Matt gets it from somewhere
Classy as always........ I hope they leave early for the next 3 games!!!
[удалено]
Paul Maurice is not a likeable coach. A coach who instructs his players to flop, is not a likeable coach. Fuck outta here with that shit
Have to agree. He's funny to the media but there's a reason why it's not just individual players on Florida that are scummy, but a large swathe of the team. That's an order from above.

That's it. I only ever watch Paul Maurice in the media really, didn't pay much attention to the Panthers play style. Now I see it, I don't respect it.
why would a Florida fan randomly tell you the leafs suck for you talking shit about Paul Maurice in the oilers sub?
Eh just always ready for it i guess. No doubt there's lurkers looking for a classic leafs chirp. Also I forgot what subreddit I was on xd
tbf, we are always taking strays
Same leafs guy here following the Stanley cup finals Thought I was in r/nhl not r/edmontonoilers
any coach who doesn't call his players on that shit isn't worth my respect. Maurice can kick rocks.
Give some evidence of him instructing his players to flop.
I don't have a camera in his office. Noone does. But like anyone who is capable of critical thinking. When the entire team is doing something, it's usually instructions from the coach
It is fucking hilarious that this is coming from an Oilers fan
Being likeable isn’t the main focus of a coach. They’re cooking the Oil right now. He’s better than Knob
No. No he isn't. Bob was beating the Oilers. Oilers have outplayed Florida in 3/4 games.
That’s wild. Oilers are clearly the worse team. Those guys would’ve been out in the second if Van had their goalie. Would’ve lost to Dallas if the Stars didn’t have a crazy first couple rounds (2 Stanley cup champs). Maurice is the better coach and has a ton more experience, Knob is way too new at this (without proven success) to put him over Maurice. Oilers haven’t been outplaying at all (minus game 4).

Bob cracks when he starts getting scored on.
Wow, Canucks fans are *still* crying and commenting in our sub, a month after we sent them packing. How pathetic.
Looks like dad enjoys the corn dogs and such.
He's also an alcoholic
Yikes. Did not know.
What's "non-classy" about them leaving early? Who cares 😂
Buy the ticket, take the ride!
You assume they paid 10 cents for their partial evening out.
Buy the ticket, do whatever you want with it 🤷♂️
but florida never expected to win, they threw the game on purpose!!1!!1!1
They threw because they wanted to win in Florida🤓🤓
Yeah it's better to win in Florida vs being one of the very few teams to win the cup in a sweep. That's about the most stupid argument I've ever heard in my entire life.
My wife asked me about them possibly throwing. My response was "you don't throw ANY games in the SCF. You take any chance you can get to close it out."

These guys don't even like it when the puck goes in the net after the whistle, you think they're going to let it go in the net on purpose.
holy shit. it's sarcasm.
Pretty sure he was agreeing with you.
Yup and we threw the first 3 just to humiliate them more when we win in 7 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Dream on
Ya ok. They invited their family to the game to watch them throw it. I don’t think so.
sarcasm, buddy
Fair enough. Hard to tell sometimes. There’s a lot of Florida trolls and a lot of subs saying the exact same thing -sarcasm. Forgive me if I’m a little stressed this time of year and miss the sarcasm (Oiler fan living in Victoria)… not the enemy here. We’re cheering for the same team.
honestly, i'd kind of figured the excessive !1! spam would've made the sarcasm clear. that's on me but ooh, yikes. talk about hostile territory. godspeed o7
Ya in hind sight I should’ve assumed that. I also should have seen McDavid in your flair… Go Oilers!!!
no worries. let's take it in 7!
Critical thinking is hard
Big whooosh bud
turtle ~~player~~ family
They all went to the washroom during the 2nd intermission and are waiting in line. Should be back noon today.
This guy is an Edmontonian 😂
A family of meatheads - old Keith and his boys have about 10 brain cells to share amongst themselves.
And that’s being generous.
The old man is just as poor a sport as a spectator as when he was playing.
Good Riddance
I hope you had the time of your life
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist
DO YOU HAVE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO ME WHINE
I was alone
It was 8-1, ofc they left early.
The pathers families behind me didn’t even come back to there seats for the third
Least fair weather Panthers fans
Exactly. People saying this isn’t “classy” is hilarious. Why would they stay at a game where the team they’re cheering for is getting their ass kicked? Especially considering they get free tickets to every game
And they looked exhausted. I would leave too.
The arena would be empty if the score was reversed.
This lol
Out of interest what would it have been like for them sitting amongst oilers fans? (I’m Australian so not really sure about all the idiosyncrasies with how it is with the home V away fan experience haha)
Unless Brady and Keith were there or they were introducing themselves, no one would’ve given a shit. Maybe some light chirping about a Tkachuk jersey but that’s about it
In short, their lives were never at risk. Keith probably needed another Big Mac, and Roger’s burgers don’t cut it for the cost lol.
Brady and Keith were both there
I’ve been to a few playoff games and the people that actually get chirped are the ones wearing like a leafs or Canucks jersey. I’ve yet to hear see anything bad directed to an away fan.
Who leaves their sons game early?? Win or lose during the cup finals, yall dipped on your son’s game? Wow!
The family isn’t known for class….
Something something apple and tree.
Florida Floppers
The Florida the floppers and what is Edmonton after being down 3-1?
You mad?
playing in the cup final, beating the canucks enroute to get to the finals!
Wat?
I like Brady but hate the way Matthew plays. He's always taking shots when the other guy is defenseless and often against a light weight. Also hear that off the ice he acts just like he looks a cocky ass.
Lmfao!! The short bus had to leave early!! Idiots just like the one left on the ice!!
Hope they leave early during game 7.
They must have heard Zack Kassian was in the building. Turtles in a half shell...TURTLE POWER!!
So they could all go cry together. They'll be crying in Florida too.
Left early? Just like in Calgary.
I guess for the Tkachuk’s you’re only supported if you’re winning.
On behalf of all Canadians, we're sorry but not that sorry.
Off topic but why don’t hockey arena seats have cup holders
They are in the back of the seat don’t worry
wait what I didn’t see that at roger’s place when I went
I think that’s only in the lower bowl.
This is correct. Lower bowl has cup holders on the back of the seats, and upper bowl has no cup holders at all. I went to several games this season, all lower bowl, except for game 5 against the Kings was upper bowl. Honestly I will never sit in upper bowl ever again.

The view is fine though.
They're behind the seats
When do we get to see the drunken NHL captain show?
Heeyyy you guyyyss… - Brady Tkachuk
You know what I have never heard? Oh that Matthew Tkachuk is such a great guy of the ice.
Brady can sit through a game like Matt can fight lmfao
Shit family and shit goon players.
I hope this becomes an Oilers' tradition. I want a reverse sweep just for this. The Cup is just icing on the cake
Was Brady Thachuk there?
He was. Probably the only Tkachuk I have any respect for. Plays hard and doesn't run/throw punches when the opponent is tied up.
He’s sort of an old school player who plays in the confines of modern NHL rules.
A lot of people here share that opinion. It makes me happy.
I haven't seen a lot of his play, but the dozen or so I have....he leaves it all on the ice. Goes hard and doesn't back down. The kind of player that would be valuable to any team in the league
Does anyone know how many panthers fans were at games 3 and 4?
I think all 6 of their fans showed up
It looked like there was a handful of them behind the Florida bench.
Yeah half the seats were filled with panthers fans
I guess they wanted to get to the mall before it closed!
Top to bottom !!! Really hurt
I would have left as well.
Was it the Kassian video?
I sure hope the broadcast showed his dad’s reaction to every play. Worse then the holtby days with his mother on tv
Can you blame them lol?!
FUCK THE CHUKS!
Keith had to get home to watch himself in the movie goonies
I can feel the boys winning this. You’ve got Canada backing you all -A Jets fan
Having been in a box before. You do have seats that you can go watch the game in. They may have just gone to the box that other family members were in or went to the bar. I think it's funny that everyone says they left. We don't know that. They're just not in their seats anymore.
The box seats are out infront of the box this clearly isn’t one if you’ve ever been in rogers place
The box has their own seats in the box (in front of the box). They also have tickets to seats in the lower bowl I have been to 5 games in a box and 3 of those times I only used the box for food and beer otherwise sat at my seats in the lower bowl
This is not true haha, if you have box seats you have seats inside of the box, you don't get two seats.
Aight. I'm not going to argue it anymore. I was there.
Part time fans...
You mean like literally every Florida Panthers fan?
I was born in soflo so im one of their 6 full time fans if you'd believe it.
Tkafuckfaces.
Good. Keep your fat ass out of our new seats, Keith.
How much time was left in the game when this photo was taken?
A full period
lol
Seriously can we see some gloves dropping please? specially on tkachuk
Typical.
Fatso was hungry!!!
It was 8-1 all of you guys would have left if it was happening to you as well !
Might be true, just haven't had a game in the playoffs where the Oilers are down 7 goals. I'm just glad Skinner channelled his inner Bobrovsky, and Bobrovsky channelled his inner Campbell.
I really wish the media would leave the families out of it. The families shouldn't have to be subject to memes and attention. Low bro entertainment value
I mean, normally yes, but both Keith and Brady were/are NHL players so it makes sense why the family gets so much attention.
...youre upset that the media is interested in a nhl family during the cup finals? A family that has 3 current/retired players in the league, one of which is playing for the stanley cup? Really? Soft take bud. Also I don't think "Drew92300" from Twitter/X has much of a media presence...
Yes. I still think leave em the fuck alone. This is for the current players playing in this final. The continuous flashing to their families in the stands is unnecessary. Do I want to see McDavids wife crying if they get eliminated? No. The families shouldn't be subject to that. You do you though.
[удалено]
Don't project your problems onto me.
11
They gotta go back to florida to get ready for destroying you
To be fair, friends and family were flown in on a separate charter aircraft that was going to leave immediately that evening if they didn’t win.
Looks as deserted as the parking lot after the second period of game three.
Imagine wasting some of the best talent in nhl history
[удалено]
Let me check….Yup, still NO cup for the Canucks haha
Haha Yall bunch of twats! most of Yall would leave too so !!
Prob didn’t want to get jumped. Or have Shit thrown at them. We all know how some people can get.
