Calgary's Matthew Tkachuk tries to give Nashville's Mathieu Olivier a signed stick (video)

There's a very good chance that the Calgary Flames and Nashville Predators will meet in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs this season, and if Tuesday night's game is any indication, it should be a fun one to watch. Calgary beat Nashville 5-4 in overtime in a game filled with big hits, fights and plenty of chirping.

Of course, any time there's chirping involved the Flames Matthew Tkachuk is usually in the middle of it, and he most certainly was in this game. At the end of a period, Tkachuk came out of the penalty box to join his teammates in the locker room. Before he left the ice, he engaged in some chatter with the Preds' Mathieu Olivier. The two would go back and forth for quite a while, and it was obvious by Tkachuk's actions that he was offering Olivier a signed stick as a memento. He even went to the trainer at one point and appeared to ask for something to write his autograph with. Expect much more of this if or when the two teams meet in the post-season.
