Many hockey lovers remember Paul Newman Starring a cult film from the 1970s. In it three wandering brothers Dave, Steve and Jeff Hanson Causes Charlesto to Chiefs after arriving in the rink with continuous chaos by breaking the rules and fighting whenever the opportunity opened up – sometimes even when it did not open.
When the Finnish and US top match was watched early on Friday morning, one wish was in the warmth spirit: I wish there would be one Tkachuk in the NHL.
The closest to the Hanson brothers in the 2020s will be the former top hockey player Keith Tkachukin boys Matthew and Brady. The former is a 27-year-old winger from Florida and the latter 25-year-old from Ottawa.
And the brothers can happen around this duo.
Matthew was already in Calgary in the past years after playing Alberta’s most talked about one player from time to time. Tkachuk was the one who, with his questionable tackles, brought to life between ruthless anger between Calgary and Edmonton. Tkachuk’s ability to play at the boundaries and annoying of the rules is looking for a peer in the NHL.
From the same tree, the little brother Brady is carved, which seems to be boiling even more than with his slightly calmed big brother.
The duo are known primarily for their sporting skills, but at the same time it hurts and happens in the rink. Only 25-year-old Brady has already played five through hundreds of cools in the NHL, Matthew’s two. On the other hand, both have crossed the 30 goals three times and Matthew has played two by hundred points.
Old Covenant Power strikers.
Competitiveness taken to the extreme
Competitiveness is at the heart of the brothers. The match against Finland had barely had time to start when Brady Tkachuk was already changing full head shocks at the Härmälän painting with Nikolas Matinpalo. Tkachukis are always ready like scouts.
Even against each other.
Muori-Kachuk, the mother of the father of the boys, was seen in the end of 2023 with a much talked-about expression on the gallery, when the brothers put the storm of Hyrsky in their match. First, Matthew fought with the Ottawa defender, after which Brady decided after his whimsical passing by Florida goalkeeper Sergei Bobrovsky with a club, causing the goal of a total fighting chaos.
The ice was eventually distributed with all the money.
The lyrics between the brothers also became hot. Brady was photographed to his brother Alexander Barkov’s nickname “Barky”. The little brother’s message to the bigger one was that if Ottawa’s top players were abused, they would take Barkov.
This is everyday life for the Tkachuk brothers.
The paint polls, fighting, playing mouth and excitement of frustration as excesses, have been recorded in the duo’s DNA. There are no boundaries. How many times the duo has been seen in a battle with the opponent’s goalkeeper. Goalkeepers tend to be unspoiled in hockey, but if the situation requires, Tkachukis exceed the limit.
On the other hand, big brother Matthew, in particular, is now the master to play at the borders without stepping over. Where Matthew has met a plus-branded player in the statistics of the taken and acquired, Brady, for example, is a minus of nine cools this season.
However, the hard nature is often seen as good things.
Big brother Matthew broke his sternum in the third Stanley Cup in the summer of 2023. Not only did he play the match with huge pains, but hit the same match in the same match and started the winning goal in overtime. The next day, the little brother went out of bed with his brother, who could not rise from there himself.
In the fourth match, Tkachuk was on the ice again.
Although competition is fierce and pity is unknown, the close relationship between the brothers is part of the story. Brady caused a small -scale uproar as early as spring 2022, appearing in the playoffs openly to Calgary to encourage his brother’s team, even though he himself represents Ottawa. When Florida and Matthew won the jug last summer, Tkachukit celebrated it openly as a family, including Brady.
Hansons finally together
On Friday, the ice hockey world finally got to see a new time in the same chain.
Head coach Mike Sullivan decided to put the brothers in the same chain in the second round Jack Eichel with. And not even when the net rings in the beginning of the third round. At the latest, the 5-1 hit by his brother’s brother, 5-1, stopped the lion’s rumble.
Otherwise, the duo was in a fierce beat. The two scored four goals and five power points. Thirteen men went to two men and ten tackles were recorded for the two, and as many as ten to Brady.
It was the Tkachukit that were creating a much tougher level of physicality in the match than we saw the previous day in the Canadian and Swedish match.
And more will come. As long as the stakes in the tournament are still growing and the star shirts probably take a couple of times together
With Canada, we will see the shafts in the Yankee brothers in different situations and that’s good. Especially
If and when they play in the same chain. The entertainment value is a class of the world.
It would still be the third Tkachuk.
