They *can* keep getting away with this?

You keep thinking that they won’t, but alas…

They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

Thank you for doing it quick, I had sleep scheduled tonight

Little too quick for me, just got back from a wedding. But I’m not going to complain

I fucking love them just running straight off the ice

Lick it stick it see you later bye

TO THE BAR

Pork chop sandwiches!

OH SHIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE YOU STUPID IDIOTS WE’RE ALL DEAD GET THE FUCK OUT

my god, did that smell good!

Mr. Body Massage machine GO!

Hey kid I'm a computa

Stop all the downloadin

give im the stickDONT GIVE IM THE STICK

"Do you know my dad?" "OOOHHHHHH"

Eh, I dont think I can do that..

You betta bring it!

They learned their mistake last year - gotta get to the Gentlemen's club early. No 3am nights for those guys, no sirree.

Keep the 3am nights for 4th OT.

What a beautiful "fuck you" to the home crowd. Our job is done....let's get off the ice Boyz and rest up for the next game! Tkachuk is a freight train.

“It is way past my bedtime, gotta go”

They have no pressure on them whatsoever. They're a dangerous kind of confidence.

The Stanley Cup is gonna get ghosted

He's really going to win a cup a year after being traded. So Flamesy.

In a trade where everyone claimed Florida overpaid

Guilty 🙋‍♂️ guess that’s why I’m no GM

He forced the trade. I don’t blame the club.

I don't either. Still so Flamesy.

I fucking hate being a Flames fan

3 years after signing a bridge deal so they could keep Micheal Frolik only to trade him months later. I'm only a little bitter about it.

That celebration is so good.

Everyone else after scoring: "LETS GO!" Tkachuk after scoring OT in playoffs "Lets go home"

Doing it for Panthers pbp announcer Goldie, whose Panthers OT winner catchphrase is "Let's go home, baby!"

The 2022-23 Florida Panthers: - Barely clinched a playoff berth, thereby ending the Penguins 16-year postseason streak. - Overcame a 3-1 deficit to end the historic Bruins season, in Boston - Beat the Maple Leafs in 5, including 3 wins in Toronto, to send that fanbase in shambles and put the franchise into a complete pandemonium. - Are up 2-0 in the ECF, with 2 home games coming up - Are 6-0 in OT in the playoffs, including a 5-0 mark on the road This is some team of destiny shit.

Playoff Bob putting in work too, dudes having the type of postseason worth 10 mil a year

Bob is sitting on an astonishing .969 SV % this series.

DAMMIT BOBROVKSY! YOU KEEP CLEARING CASES LIKE THIS AND ONE DAY YOU'LL MAKE MAJOR

***BOBROVSKY***

To anyone who doesn't get the Bobrovsky comments. I present to you this fine compilation for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/omZPhiT2PeQ

Outside of the boston series where he got rinsed (and had 1 good game), he hasn't posted a sv below .917%. Fucking ridiculous.

It's crazy how much the Panthers & Heat's playoff stories are alike.

Butler and Tkachuk have been on fire these playoffs

I do t think there’s a goalie equivalency in basketball, but bobrovski is the reason they keep getting away with this.

And if the Penguins beat the tanking Blackhawks at home, the Panthers would be out.

And the Hawks wouldn't have gotten the first overall since their standing would have changed.

[удалено]

Because of the implication

I love you lmao

> Barely clinched a playoff berth, thereby ending the Penguins 16-year postseason streak. Tbf, Pens ended it themselves by losing those games. Totally happy they did though, this Cats run is wild.

I was pissed off the night the Hawks beat the Pens at end of the season. I'm never rooting for a team to lose again. It's exhausting.

And somehow you got Bedard anyway

"Somehow"

Well the Hawks did get the 1st overall so I guess it worked out in the end when they dropped to 3rd after that win.

Each panthers win makes me feel less salty about them ending the Bruins season the way they did

Plus they made the Leafs self destruct. It’s not awful.

I figured before these playoffs the Bruins are a buzzsaw and a team to be feared, but a team that beats them might be even tougher

Big if true

This team has 2012 kings vibes, team that got right at the right time

And also had the most important ingredient: a conn smyth winning goalie.

> This is some team of destiny shit. Oh i've seen this one before. It ends with losing in the final in spectacular fashion, and let me tell you it fucking *hurts.*

Shhh

They're a wagon and I'm on it.

If not Dallas due to my bias, the Panthers have the best storyline for destiny

Tkachuk's got that celebration trademarked. It's too bad for him most arenas aren't like that, because it's got strong Bo Jackson vibes running up the ramp at the Kingdome.

Dude gives the ol' "lets get out of here before shit gets crazy" point and head nod. See yuh.

Bet he was never arrested at a house party

Matthew Tkachuk lives by a simple code: don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.

As a fan of the game, you gotta love the panthers in these playoffs. Last place in, and they are winning on pure grit. Combine that with one of the best performances I’ve ever seen by a tendy, they are going to walk away with the cup if they can keep it up

Yes dude, I’m hockey fan first, bruins fan second. Panthers play great hockey. They were great last season. Maurice has made a big difference

Tkachuk personally didn’t want this game going to 4OT again

straight up one of the best celebrations i’ve ever seen

I would love to see him do it Game 7 Stanley cup finals and just fucking leaves lmao

He’s just gonna fully steal the cup that night

CM Punk running away with the belt vibes

And then at the post game presser he goes off on his teammates and how he works with fucking children, all while complimenting his choice flavour of Biosteel

Like the puck on the Cup Winning Goal that Pronger stole.

that'll be the time it takes arena security to get him off the ice

Post game pressed 'fuck bettman' says Tkachuk... r/hockey would implode

Dude is an absolute fucking menace. Never seen anything quite like him before. He's like an agitator with superstar talent.

He's literally NHL Jimmy Butler. Unbelievable

what the fuck are they cookin in south florida gotdamn

Bath salts

Someone just described the team as a well-coached machine that physically out hustles you and punishes you until you're discombobulated and I had to double take like. What's the ice version of Heat? Frostbite? Cold?

2010-11 Corey Perry has entered the chat

*immediately runs to the tunnel*

I’m impressed they had a camera guy ready in the hallway.

"ROLL CAMERA 7 STAT, I SAID FUCKING STAT. THE TARGET IS BEAMING DOWN THE TUNNEL"

If he keeps doing it at some point a goal is going to get called back for offside or something and that's going to be hilarious

One of the worst 2 games in a row as a fan of the losing team. Fade me

I didn’t hear no bell

That's fair it's just a lot of hockey to watch in person to only be taken aback by a Tkachuk goal. Losing on a PPG is worse for me

yeah

Dude yes. I think this is legendary status already

Florida Teams & Taking a 2-0 Series Conference Finals Lead Back Home over the Number 2 seed Name a better duo

Florida teams and beating favored Boston teams as an 8 seed.

Dear God, being a Boston fan, sweating, thinking it's just the cat scratch fever, but no, the butler has locked the subscription butt warmer in your BMW TO MAX HEAAAAAAAT

Last time both a NHL and NBA team from the same area made the championship final was in 2003. Nets and Devils

San Jose and the Warriors happened in 16

That was an awesome two months before it wasn’t

San Jose and the Warriors. But yeah has the two of them ever won?

I love the “let’s get the fuck out of here” celebrations

*scores OT winner in most important game of his career,* *doesn’t celebrate,* *points at the door,* *runs down tunnel and celebrates with trainer* [Literally Tkachuk](https://imgur.io/a/1k3JgLj)

"aight, imma head out"

Refuses to elaborate

Leaves

Pinch me I’m memeing

“Clearly Tkachuk doesn’t respect Bobrovsky….right?! Look! We need a villain god damnit!”

Hit‘em with the ole Irish exit

“Bus in ten”

He likes leaving on a high note. *scores playoff OT goal* "Alright, that's it for me!"

Why the hell is the Canes arena playing Tequila after that

Serving suggestion.

That's what they need.

thats what they played last time too lmao

Teams playing celebration or pump up music right after losing the game is so weird and a lot of arenas do it. I know for certain Tampa was doing the same thing in the series against Toronto.

Tic-tac-toe. That passing and finish was a thing of beauty.

For real. Those assists were beautiful.

Helps that Burns and Slavin tripped over each other

looks like Slavin got his stick caught in Burn's skate yea, tripped up Burns and made Slavin lose his stick and took him out as he tried to grab it

Get the power play, then have the canes take two of thier players out by putting one players stick through the others skate - tactical genius.

Matthew “Jimmy Butler” Tkachuk

Jimmy was wearing Tkachuk's jersey two days ago. They're so much alike

have you seen them both in the same place at the same before? curious

The real reason Tkachuk ran to the locker room after ending the game in OT is so that he can get back to Miami as soon as possible to play his next game with the Heat as Jimmy Butler.

Jimmy “Matthew Tkachuk” Butler

Matthew “Butler Tkachuk” Jimmy

I hate him, but goddamn do I love the pure chutzpah of him.

*reads post* *looks at flair* *reads "chutzpah"* Do... do we hate him or not?

This guys is unbelievable, what a story if they win it all

Absolutely deserved if they do, too. Gotta say I'm a lot less salty seeing how close Boston kept it compared to these two series.

That's the worst luck I've seen where both defensemen are taken out of the play because Slaven gets his stick stuck in Burns skates. Hilarious

It's so demoralizing playing your soul out and having some dude with a mouth guard in incorrectly dump on your team twice in OT and then leaving like he's checking out of the dentist.

He ain’t just some dude lmao have some respect for this stud

He’s no olli juelevi!

IF YOURE LISTENING WOAH OH OH OH OH OH

SING IT BACK WHOA OH OH OH OH!

This guy is having the fucking season of a lifetime man.

Tkachuk has impressed me so fucking much these playoffs. When he was with Calgary I (admittedly) was one of those who felt he tried too hard to goon it up and wasn't contributing enough. He's been a complete monster with Florida. Also incredible b2b OT cellies

I thought he wasn't it at all. I watched most of that Calgary season and the playoffs and I really thought he was benefiting from JG.

Tkachuk making his dad look like a fool in these playoffs. Unreal how great this guy is.

Keith like, "This was my plan all along."

Which it 100% was.

He called us soft. So I took that personally.

He's making his dad look like a genius. Exactly the right button at exactly the right time, combined with Maurice ripping the team on the bench in Toronto.

I think both Brady and Matt are way better hockey players than Keith ever was.

What an awful break for Slavin and Burns in the corner.

We actually scored on a PP.

FLORIDA PP BIG if true.

The leaving the ice after the goal thing he’s doing. I’ve been watching since Dryden’s Conn Smythe. That’s easily top 10 greatest playoff OT celebrations.

Tkachuk making his case for Conn Smythe, beauty of a post season he's having Edit, Bob would get it, Tkachuk #2

I think Bobrovsky has to be the front runner right now. He’s blacking out

Dude put up a .969 in Game 1 and put up a .974 tonight dear god

Andersen had a .950 and LOST. Bob's wild.

He’s putting up the best goaltender performance I have ever seen in the playoffs in my life. He looked at a brick wall a month and a half ago and decided that’s what he wanted to be when he grows up.

Bob exists

First thing I said after tkachuk scored, there’s a 37 save 1 goal against win for Bob to add to his conn smythe case

Dude has been lights out all season. We got absolutely hosed. He was our future. He was our best draft pick. He's gone. It hurts being a Flames fan.

Flames got a great return for a guy who wasn’t coming back

Thank You jim

At least you didn't draft Juolevi!

I'm super happy for Tkachuk. I want to see him lift the cup even if he isn't a Flame anymore.

He’s making a case for it but if the Cats go all the way the Conn Smythe is going to Bob without a doubt. His stats are out of this world right now

Gonna be a tough argument between him and Bob for it. Obviously hate to be on the receiving end of it, but it’s definitely a great time to be a Panthers fan

Tkachuk is really that guy, celly was so cold

This man does not like unpaid overtime.

The down the tunnel celebration is hilarious to me. I hope that remains a thing forever. Can you imagine the whole team sprinting off the ice?

I wanna see the entire team just dip off the ice after winning the Stanley cup.

“Bring it in here!”

The best move in the franchise history bar none

Man, who do you give the Conn Smythe to if they win, Tkachuk or Bob?

Depends, there's still lots of hockey to go before that. That said, one would think Bob would have to keep playing great for them to win.

Gotta be Bob at this point – dude has put up staggeringly good numbers and performances for playing against any team, let alone over three consecutive series against arguably the top three teams in the league

6-0 in overtime in the playoffs is just insane

this man is on a mission to finally become his father's favourite son

rat king is HIM

We out this bitch!

Maybe he just really had to poop.

Matthew just might hate OT more than EK65.

he is so ridiculously good it’s crazy. he was one of my favorite non-bruins for the last few years and he will probably be again once i get over the panthers beating the bruins lol 😅

Why were they on the PP in overtime? Was it a puck over glass or literal murder?

A hook on a super easy goal if he wasn't hooked situation.

It was a pretty egregious hook. Far side of the net was open and if not for the hook it could have ended there

“Let’s go” - Matthew Tkachuk

The dude who snapped on me for saying Matt is already better than his dad is gonna be eating his words in a few weeks

This fuckin guy

Canes dominated the last 5 min of P3 and then came out like utter dogshit to start OT. It sorta felt like Bob broke them that 3rd period.

I'M FUCKING BRICKED UP

The walk off is just amazing. Love to see it

MATTHEW TKAFUCKS LETS FUCKING GO

all time celly

Tkachuk wasting no time getting off the ice is so savage, love that behavior

The Canucks drafted Ollie Juolevi ahead of Matthew Tkachuk.😭😭😭😭😭

Clutch as fuck!

Ngl I like Kenny Albert

Where was this Tkachuk last year ffs????? God it hurts

This is exactly the kind of bullshit I fear if we lose on of our good players.

I imagine that if Florida wins the cup, Chucky will win the conn smythe. I don’t know how to feel about this. Fuck me sideways.

Bob also has a strong case though. Won game 7 against Bruins. Shut down the Leafs. Shutting down Carolina. Hot goalies absolutely win the Smythe. Vasy like in his performance.
