Matthew Tkachuk breaks the code with unacceptable chirp about another player's wife
Game 2 between the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers ended up being a very heated contest. Tempers finally boiled over when Tomas Nosek hit Eric Staal with a high elbow.
In the shift that followed tempers flared once again, this time with the microphone capturing the conversation at the bench. That's when Matthew Tkachuk let his emotion get the best of him and crossed the line speaking about Nosek's wife.
In the clip Tkachuk can be heard repeating this over and over. Usually players know enough to keep other players wife and families off the table. This is certainly a clear violation of hockey's code but who is going to make Tkachuk pay for it?
