For the first time, Brady and Matt Tkachuk are playing against each other on NHL ice. With only two meetings between the Ottawa Senators and Calgary Flames this season, both on the backend of the schedule, the Tkachuk family was surely anticipating this one.
And boy, did they ever show up for the Tkachuk Bowl! Swipe to see the extended Tkachuk family — they arrived in some hybrid Calgary-Ottawa jerseys that are, in a minor miracle of the genre, not corny in the slightest. Pretty cool!
Matt and the Flames would get the last laugh in this game, escaping with a 2-1 win, but there was a pretty hilarious moment after Brady got the Sens on the scoreboard.
Perhaps the only thing left to see would’ve been a scuffle involving the Tkachuk brothers on the ice. Like any responsible parents, however, the Tkachuk parents got ahead of that one early.
