Another Taklaus who spoke was seen in the second set of the game. American star of Vegas Jack Eichel cut into the middle of the court at his own defensive blue line with the puck, while one of Florida’s top players Matthew Tkachuk slammed a hard tackle into him.
Eichel’s skates still clattered annoyingly and he fell before contact. Eichel was able to continue the game after the painful hit.
– He wobbled badly before the tackle. Tkachuk smelled the situation in advance that he would cut in the middle, but there was also bad luck. The tackle was clean, ‘s NHL reporter Tommi Seppälä analyzed in ‘s batch break studio.
Tkachuk’s Finals series has been dismal so far. In the second fight, he managed to score, but collected two ten-minute penalties and a total of 22 ice-time minutes. Expert Ismo Lehkonen gave the American-Canadian forward a fair amount of negative feedback from the final series seen so far.
– All expectations are high for him, especially in the eyes of North Americans. He is a great hero who should do heroic deeds in this series. But everything else, he has been completely in the dark, Lehkonen stated in the studio.
– He has not been able to respond to the physicality of the games, especially when he has the puck and should be able to do something with it. When he has been under a combative defensive game, he hasn’t been able to get anything done, Lehkonen continued.
Lehkonen described the aftermath of Tkachuk’s 2+10 minute tackle as a symptom of inefficiency.
– That was just stupid. He wouldn’t have gotten even two minutes from the tackle. So why the hell do you have to bother, twist, poke and get a couple to fight for. That was 2+10 minutes. He is now not allowed to be used on the field. I don’t understand, Lehkonen summarized.
