With 12.8 seconds left, Calgary was on its way to losing to Toronto. As the final buzzer sounded, Toronto’s Jake Muzzin casually flipped the puck at Calgary’s Matthew Tkachuk. Tkachuk didn’t take it well. He tried to snatch the puck out of the air with his glove, missed, then swung at it with his stick and missed again. Instead of walking it off, he charged at Muzzin.
Tkachuk’s teammates stepped in to hold him back while Muzzin laughed him off. Tkachuk kept chirping, frustrated that Muzzin wouldn’t drop the gloves after throwing the puck. He demanded a fight that Muzzin clearly wasn’t going to give him. As tensions cooled on the ice, Tkachuk took his tantrum to the tunnel. He stormed off, slammed the bench door, kicked Giordano off the bench for not being fast enough, then took his anger out on the water bottles and some hand sanitizer. The water bottle rack barely moved, but the sanitizer fell, which was about the only thing Tkachuk was able to take down that night. Muzzin looked unbothered through the whole thing. Calgary lost, and Tkachuk left with a bruised ego and a messy bench.
