After the Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup, Tkachuk appeared on the "The Cam & Strick Podcast" do reveal some juicy insights on the fight and their deep seated rivalry.
"I go over, and I'm talking to the refs, whatever. Marchand, their captain, is off the ice. So, it's Pastrnak coming over and talking. I'm like, 'Tell your guys to stop being idiots, otherwise I'm coming after you.' We just start talk and talk and talk. Then I'm like, 'Well, let's just fight next shift.' He didn't say no. He wasn't like backing down or scared. A lot of respect for him. I'm not, like, the toughest guy in the world. But I mean, I don't expect a guy like him to fight in general. So, I just leaned over and I asked him to fight. I'm like, 'We're doing this right now. I'm not waiting until next game.'"
Tkachuk further indulged on the details of the fight:
"He literally looked to Monty (Jim Montgomery) and asked him. Monty's like, 'You want to?' I'm hearing this whole thing. Pastrnak's like, 'Yeah.' He's (Montgomery) like, 'All right, go ahead.' He (Pastrnak) looks at me like, 'I'm going out next shift -- power play. Let's do it.' I was like, 'I don't PK, but I'll see you out there.' I turned to Paul (Maurice) and I'm like, 'Paul, I'm going out next shift.' I think he was like, 'No, Chucky. It's a PK.' I'm like, 'Paul, I'm going to fight Pastrnak.' He was like, 'All right.'"
The Boston Bruins usual rivals would be the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs but with facing off against the Panthers in back to back playoffs, they now have a new contender.
