CBS News Miami's Steve Goldstein sits down with Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk to talk about the wild week it has been for him and the team after winning their first Stanley Cup.
Chucky is truly a fans player. Great personality, always positive and takes time for everyone. Congrats and thank you for helping this team come alive!
Been partying nonstop for nearly a week on no sleep haha. As an Islanders fan, I say congratulations to the Panthers. They were the definition of irrelevant for nearly 20 years. They missed the playoffs 16 of 18 seasons from 2001 to 2019 and now they’ve busted their way out of futility with the run in 2023 and then winning a championship the very next year.
He demanded a trade because he’s an American hockey player that was playing in Canada. No American wants to live in Canada. Lower salaries (for normal people) and higher taxes. Also the healthcare system is completely stupid.
A freshly shaved Matthew Tkachuk!! That was quite literally the greatest trade in Panthers history. Everyone thought Bill Zito (Panthers GM) was out of his mind but he saw something in Tkachuk that nobody else did. And now they’ve won their first Stanley Cup in franchise history.
Thanks turtle for leaving Calgary and keeping the flams out of the playoffs for years to come! We know you hated living in Calgary! We know you hated the looser fans! We know you hated all Canadians especially Zack Kassian! Yes thank you thank you! Unbelievably pathetic for a flames fan to give this a hole any praise what so ever! Hope you enjoy watching the team up north in the playoffs again next year because you won’t be watching yours for a very long time.
Easily one of my favorite players. Really wished he was a St. Louis Blue but perhaps Brady has a spot there. But seeing both brothers on the same would be amazing.
i would have loved a "let's go home with the cup, baby!" When it hit zero. One of my fave calls was the "they did it!" When they finally got to round two beating the capitals three years ago. Such relief.
Dude it’s been 31 years since ANY canadian team won the cup I don’t care which Canadian team won a cup at this point, a real Canadian would want oilers to win that cup.
These past two years have been nothing short of amazing. You made my sports season. I don't care if the Jags win one game. I'm good now that the Panthers have the cup. Congrats!
the cup is a replica and each players gets to take it home and party wherever they please with it! That has always been the tradition....to share it with the players home town fans and everyone else in the area!
South Florida Pro Teams History: Dolphins 2 Super Bowl Championships Florida Marlins 2 World Series Champions, Miami Heat, 3 NBA Championships, Not the first Pro Team Championship for South Florida, 1st in Hockey, Big Congrats🎉
Poor TurtleChucky....In what was supposed to be his moment of glory, he looks into the FLORIDA atena crowd and see's they are HALF OILERS FANS!!!!....hahahahaha......Hilarious!!!!...No wonder he went full PTSD and started babbling about the Flames????....Lol He then reverted back to his natural TURTLE habitat and started splashing in the ocean in front of 20 fans, DESPERATELY hoping anyone in Florida would notice or care....Good for CBS to do this interview.....Chucky is losing his marbles.
Matthew Tkachuk is the name that a lot of Panthers fans will remember because he is the most instrumental player in the Stanley Cup Finals, beating the Edmonton Oilers in seven games.
