So I’m case you’re not a huge fan of the NHL you probably don’t know that Doughty and Tkachuck basically want to rip each other’s spines out. These guys can’t fucking stand each other. You won’t find them on a banana boat this summer
You won’t find them playing tummy sticks postgame asking for a jersey
And you sure as shit won’t see this

Sorry. Just cleaning the puke off my keyboard after that last one. Where were we? Oh ya. Drew Doughty pretty much wants Matty Chucks dead. And vise versa. They’ve been going at each other on and off the ice for a little while now.
Well last night these two put on an absolute SHOW. First , Tkachuck showed off his Charmin soft hands with this silky (probably illegal but we’ll look past it) goal to send the game into overtime
Then we have Drew Doughty slamming home a 1-T for the win in overtime. Oh and he casually told all of Calgary to suck his ween afterwards. Luckily, it didn’t stop there. Drew Doughty said in his post game presser that he wanted to “bury the hatchet”. Tkachuck has a different response when asked about the rivalry.
I. LOVE. IT. I need SO much more of this in my favorite league. Guys in the NHL are often on one of two sides of a hard line. You’ve got guys who play the right way and keep their head down with their mouth shut. Then you’ve got guys who are dickbags that usually play dirty that no one has time for. I need more guys with stupid amounts of skill that want to talk all of the shit there is to talk while also doing things on 5/8 of an inch of steel that you and I can only wish to do on Xbox. This league is starving for more guys with personality who show their personality while still doing incredible things in the league.
We’ve heard some legendary stories come out of guys with the recent success of Spittin Chicklets, but unfortunately so many of those guys are retired. I want more guys currently playing to show this type of emotion and swagger and hatred on a night to night basis. I want Connor McDavid to go end to end score a sick goal and skate by the opposing bench asking if anyone knows the game started. I’d kill to see Charlie McAvoy hammer someone at center ice and give him the Allen Iverson/Tyron Lue treatment. Remember earlier this year when Bryce Harper put on a show in his return to Washington and did that thing in the outfield? (Probably not. The MLB sucks at promoting fun)
Well Phil Kessel would look amazing doing that at center ice when he gets back to Pittsburg and puts up a 2-1-3 line right in Malkin’s face.
There’s plenty of personality in the league and I’d just like t see more of it. There’s a new TV deal coming boys, if you want to get paid like the other stars in other leagues you’re going to have to get eyeballs on your games. Sex sells baby. Give the people what they want.
