Edmonton will be grieving for a while, but this didn't stop Matthew Tkachuk from taking one last shot at the team, highlighting the tension of the Battle of Alberta.
As a former Calgary Flames forward, who was traded to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Jonathan Huberdeau, Mackenzie Weegar, Cole Schwindt, and a first round pick, Matthew Tkachuk has now made the massive cost worth it, but has still re-ignited the Battle of Alberta for his Calgary Flames fans:
Matthew Tkachuk during post-game celebrations on Sportsnet: «Shoutout to my fans in Calgary still. You know I couldn't let Edmonton win.»
What a series, and what a year. The Florida Panthers are your Stanley Cup Champions.
