Tkachuk steamrolls Klingberg behind the Dallas net and then Raffl beats the brakes off of him at center ice
Playoff hockey is the best hockey and I doubt you'll find many people who will be able to formulate an argument as to why regular season hockey is better. Playoff hockey is full of energy, passion and players go out there every night and lay it all on the line.
We've seen some rough series so far, and it looks like the Dallas/Calgary series is going to be another one that will yield some stellar highlights, like the one below from Matthew Tkachuk.
Tkachuk absolutely hammers Stars defender John Klingberg behind the Dallas net, but then is pursued by Michael Raffl, with a scrap ensuing at center ice. While Tkachuk was on the right end of the hit, he was certainly on the wrong end of the fight.
Tkachuk has made a name for himself around the league as a fierce competitor, but also as a bit of a rat, not unlike Brad Marchand, Brendan Gallagher or Michael Bunting. It's shifts like this one that make Tkachuk such a valuable player for the Flames.
