Matthew Tkachuk jokes about younger brother having the 'C' before him

The Tkachuk brothers, Matthew and Brady, have made quite the names for themselves in the NHL already. Matthew, playing for the Calgary Flames, has become one of their best players and a rising star power forward in the league. Brady, on the other hand, recently became the captain of the Ottawa Senators after showing his leadership qualities over the past couple of seasons.

During Sunday's game between the Flames and Senators, Matthew took some time to show brother Brady that he has a letter, too although it's not a C.

Following the game, Matthew took the chance to poke some fun at his younger brother.

"Deep down, he knows I still make the calls when we're together in the summer," Matthew said. "He can be the captain for his team ... But he knows who's the captain in the summer. It's probably my Mom, honestly."

At first it seems that Matthew was going to say that he is the captain, but anyone should know by now that the captain of the family is actually the mom. This just shows the kind of personalities the Tkachuks have and what makes them stand out on a off the ice.

Matthew and Brady have both been off to good starts to their seasons. Matthew has recorded 12 points (7 goals, 5 assists) in 15 games, while Brady has 7 points (3 goals, 4 assists) in 12 games.
