Matthew Tkachuk Breaks an Unspoken Rule With Chirp Towards Bruins
Matthew Tkachuk isn't a stranger to intense situations, and his gritty, pesky style of play makes him a pain to play against. He may have taken this chirp too far, however, as fans are saying that Tkachuk crossed a line in last night's game.
Tkachuk Goes After Nosek's Wife
Tkachuk's teammate Eric Staal was victim of a huge hit that took the forward out of the game, and Tkachuk let his emotions get the better of him in the exchange that followed.
Tkachuk approached the Boston bench, and had some choice words for Boston's Tomas Nosek regarding his wife.
"She's a f**ing wh*re!"
This is generally a topic that players avoid when chirping, as taking shots at a guy's family is considered low and unsportsmanlike. It can certainly make you a target among other players in the league, but clearly Tkachuk doesn't care.
The exchange can be heard in this video, posted by Boston Bruins reporter Pete Blackburn.
What do you think, did Tkachuk cross a line?
