Horrific Details of Matthew Tkachuk's Injury Have Been Revealed

Matthew Tkachuk was considered by many to be this year's MVP of the playoffs.

He scored crucial goals, and if it weren't for him, the Panthers might not have advanced past the first round. If Florida had won the Stanley Cup, he would undoubtedly have won the Conn Smythe Trophy.

Unfortunately for the Panthers, Tkachuk was injured in the second game of the finals. A worrying update was just published, and we can understand why he didn't play much in the last period of game four and missed the entire game five.

If you were wondering why Tkachuk wasn't as good in the last few games, you have quite a good explanation.

He played two games with a broken sternum.

This is what a true leader does. He pushed his limits and didn't give up until it was too much.

Tkachuk's acquisition by the Panthers will certainly be remembered as one of the best trades in recent history.
