Game 2 between the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers was a high-scoring affair. When Tomas Nozick hit Eric Staal with a high elbow, the atmosphere erupted.
During the next shift, tempers flared again, this time with the microphone recording the bench talk. This is when Matthew Tkachuk’s emotions got the best of him and he said something inappropriate about Nosk’s wife.

Tkachuk may be heard repeatedly saying this in the video. Players usually know enough to keep other players’ wives and families off the table. This is undoubtedly a violation of hockey law, but who will hold Tkachuk accountable?
