It seems that no matter where they go, Brady and Matthew Tkachuk create chaos.
In this case, another Olympic athlete didn’t hesitate to speak out about the Tkachuk brothers, who are not well-liked and often face criticism.
Both of them are not nice people. They are not that great at hockey; they just behave like this. That’s their whole style, Oliver Okuliar stated.
Nobody was surprised by what Tkachuk did. Everyone knows their true nature, Martin Fehervary mentioned.
That’s simply how they behave; they come off as sneaky, Marian Gaborik noted.
Team USA fan won’t buy jersey
However, it wasn’t only athletes who commented on the Tkachuks causing problems. Being disliked by a fan of your own team requires a unique type of bravery, which Matthew and Brady have a lot of.
A Team USA fan who came from the US to watch his team aim for a Gold medal tried hard to hide his dislike.
“I really don’t like Matthew Tkachuk,” Vereline said. “He plays for our team, so I’ll cheer for him in this game. Once the Olympics are over, I’m finished. ”
Still, the brothers seem to enjoy this kind of attention, even when they don’t perform well, as if how they appear is more important than the game itself.
During the USA-Canada Gold medal game today, there was a moment when the Tkachuk brothers worked together to push a Canadian player against the boards, which reminded me of the Hanson brothers from the movie Slap Shot.
Matthew and Brady Tkachuk are like the real-life Hanson Brothers today because of their tough playing style, and they are the kind of players you’d want on your team but dread playing against.

During these Olympics, a microphone caught Matthew joking about Germany’s Leon Draisaitl, who he knows really well, saying, ‘Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. ’
Fans frequently talk about both Tkachuk brothers in surveys and online discussions, noting that they are some of the toughest players in hockey due to their bold and sometimes excessive way of playing.
Players like T. J. Oshie have described them as annoying because they excel at trash-talking to unsettle their opponents.
“They play a fierce and dedicated game, just like their father used to,” Oshie mentioned, “and they are great at making fun of others and talking trash. ”
Winning seems to make all their questionable behaviors seem okay. At least, that’s what they say.
