After their victory, Tkachuk couldn't resist a playful dig at Edmonton, a nod back to his rivalry days with the Calgary Flames. Speaking during the post-game celebrations on Sportsnet, Tkachuk gave a shoutout to his Calgary fans.
Tkachuk made a big impact throughout the playoffs, racking up 22 points on his way to helping the Panthers secure the Stanley Cup, despite not scoring in the crucial Game Seven.
This victory also extends the streak to 31 years in which an American team has won the Stanley Cup. The Oilers, on the other hand, will surely be hungry for redemption next season, determined to make another run at hockey glory.
