Evander Kane was recently asked how he feels about Matthew Tkachuk, and he sure did not hold back..
"I think he's a guy who likes to talk and yip and yap and make gestures. Nobody can say anything to me that I haven't already heard, so it's no skin off of my back. Sometimes when the shoe is on the other foot, people have a tough time handling it. I think that the mental aspect of maybe us competing against each other deterred him a little bit."
Tkachuk has now excited the battle of Alberta as the Flames traded him away to Florida, so it will be interesting to see how the rivalry plays out next season.
