If Tkatchuk had good financial advice on putting his money in a trust fund he wouldn't of had that " Canadian tax problem "
He also witnessed the socialist like premiere of canada's pandemic response. When the government goes full commie and he is a US citizen I also would want out.
Breadman cause the hair
There are numbers of factors as to why NHL players leave canada is they do not want to be treated a celeb for just getting milk every time, they are humans like everybody else. I do not like tkachuk at all and there are players who would probably want out in canada, like calgary, winnipeg and to the extent vancouver.
America is just cooler than Canada. it is more fun to live and enjoy with your family. there are limitless options in America. even with a terrible government you can still live and nobody will recognize you.
Turtle chucky= the Megan Markle of hockey!
I believe breadman is a translation of his name
Once guys start families those tax free southern states aren't as appealing as a market with good education and free health care
I live in Pennsylvania (pens fan) and I would say the Pens and flyers might be the exceptions in the United States markets I can tell you despite the success of the pens our fans in general can be too rough on players even when it’s not deserved. Lol probably just because we’ve been kinda spoiled for so long now. As for flyers fans I’m sure the noooo stanely cup’s since the mid 70s is putting pressure on them too. Lol
I agree.Anyone who wants to play NHL hockey anonymously should play in Florida or Arizona.
I wonder if Tkachuk would've had the same opinion if the Edmonton Oilers drafted him where he might of been part of a dynasty with Leon & McJesus ???!!!
Hockey is Canada's Baseball you can't compare the fans there to what We have here on average. I mean the fans of the original six are diehards and even the next generations teams right after. But Canada is another animal altogether, Look at the Leafs. Tell ya St Louis has some fans that are diehards as well but different vibe Tkachuk knows those fans so He knows about pressure.
Multimillionair kids that haven't worked a day in their lives are irrelevent when they display ignorance and arrogance as this P of S kid does on a regular basis.
The difference between living to play and playing to live.
SQUAD BATTLES are for the Weak! RIVALS, is where it's at! 😊
Can’t wait for the SDPN defendant in this.
TKACHUK IS A WUSSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no one wants to play in canada, 'cause canada sucks lol
Looks like he has a joint hanging out of his mouth in the thumbnail 😂

Roughrider is Saskatchewan not alberta 😅😅😅😅 should watch what your saying about alberta.
Roughriders is the Saskatchewan team 😂😂 come on
