[@mikes7446]

The way Shaq said I don’t really watch Hockey but love watching the fights was funny.

[@valr852]

Ok a decent interview,need more of this,this was a real interview by Mathew,good luck🇨🇦

[@TONY_87.]

He is 🇺🇸

[@stevenlopez1717]

Might be the second best player in the NHL behind Mcdavid. His playoff game is literally perfect, all grit, makes massive plays, scores big goals, skates as hard as he can to every puck. I wish he was on my team

[@co_snowy]

My favorite player rn

[@AGGIOSOUND]

Love this guy. Would loved to have seen him in a leafs jersey. All the best, I hope you can hoist that cup! ❤

[@ericscottstevens]

Guy gave it his all, Las Vegas was just too good. Teams in the NHL draft will be looking for the next Matthew Tkachuk for years to come.

[@ty-e481]

Flames should have made him captain after his brother was named then offered a long term extension. Such an amazing player to watch and cheer for. Baller

[@johnnybegood3855]

Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek are you too for real talking to him like he is your buddy the guy is trying to put guys out cripple injure players you guys insane why not give him some good Questions about the Goon that he is .

[@BondandBourne]

Yeah Matt Tkachuk definitely showed a lot of growth and leadership last night during the Game 4 SCF brawl

[@joshfortier991]

He should probably focus on the series..

[@PumaTomten]

His father, Amonte and Modano was the guys you really liked watch play in the 90s from USA

[@johnnybegood3855]

Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek Nice role model you have their makes you feel good Goon trying to put people out cripple injure them is that the player your kids look up too ???

[@billblake9665]

Matt come on and lift up the team to victory!!!! This has been a run for the ages you gotta FINISH THE JOB!!!!!! You guys can do it i am rooting for you and your all I got I live in philadelphia after being a Flyers fan for my whole life I have given up all hope the flyers are a broken franchise they are a JOKE from top to bottom......50 years down the drain.... My Panthers jersey will be on i got it all the way back in 1997.........GO PANTHERS GO

[@kenrenaud7846]

all 3 are Chumps... no spelling mistake

[@crystalholloway2862]

Come on Matty let’s get that cup!! I go for the sens and would this rather be Brady! But his time is coming

[@thisisbushinryu]

hope you can raise a cup and take a photo with your dad.

[@johnnybegood3855]

Yes fighting has been taking out of the League by yours truly Betman ,now its full of Dirty cheap shot artists Ratchuck and bennett trying to injure other players ,when does it end when some one gets crippled

[@topgun9666]

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree

[@automatoncollectives7237]

Being a great leader when playing teams that aren’t built for the playoffs-like the Leafs and Canes-is a far cry from being a great leader up against a well oiled machine like Vegas. And we are seeing the firsthand. Panthers simply lack the depth necessary to win the Cup. Their leader is frustrated as a result.

[@knucksandboltz9908]

Matthew Tkachuk's mistake when he was with Calgary was when he fought JT MILLER and after that evrything went south for the Flames ask Radko Gudas when he fought JT MILLER last season and after that, the Panthers went south too. Well they are not the only guy who's team have gone south, look at the team that involves a fight with JT MILLER these season.

[@automatoncollectives7237]

Great leaders rise in the face of adversity. His “leadership” style leads to two game misconducts in a row. Leadership is far more than sheer physicality that results in penalties and hinders the team’s chances for victory. Leadership? I don’t see it.

[@automatoncollectives7237]

@FerreTime ​ Being “Clutch” against the Leafs and Canes, is much different than being “clutch” against a four line powerhouse like Vegas. You should know that.

[@dougaldarcy6463]

maybe he can grow and leave some of his dirty plays...like the scrum after the horn in the playoffs , cheap shots not becoming of a top class player. He has such skill that he doesnt need that crap, and should leave it behind.

[@mcrdl76]

This bad boy has taken way too many bad penalties /misconducts this series

[@ronmurray7349]

Less talk and more goals. You are down 2 -0

[@CodeNameV13]

Vegas are just laughing at you, especially Hague after wrist slashes and 3 sucker punches.

[@stefkors2188]

his actions on the ice showed who he really is, he is a rotten person

[@nordkapp1214]

Hm ok he played a great season and great.playoffs.. but why now the half of the other teams has to have a player like him? Overreacting at its best. His mouthgard.eating addiction is already enough to not be a good rolemodel for young players. Or do we wanna see all players chewing like chucky? 😆😆 both eichel are great players but its easy to see which nation they play for... miss players like modano and hull..

[@neemwillman7914]

Elliotte "cokehead" Friedman

[@gillesgibeault9135]

C"est bien beau mais a la fin tu es toujours un ostie d"crosseur .

[@brandocalrissian3294]

Dude knows nothing about growth or leadership. He's shown in this cup final that he's a joke.

[@mikepotter8528]

My God why do they bring a big cry baby like that on? That's why I don't watch this show

[@jacquelynh1564]

WRONG MAN TO ADVANCE THE SPORT. HE IS A GOON; NOT A TERRIBLE INTERVIEWER, HAS HIS FRONT TEETH. STILL WRONG GUY.

[@TONY_87.]

Get the brooms out! Vegas sweeps the Panthers 💯 🧹🧹🧹🧹
