Matthew Tkachuk gets caught cheap shotting Connor McDavid
Matthew Tkachuk got caught cheap shotting Connor McDavid in a brawl during game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Last night's game may have been one of the most intense we've seen in this series.
The Oilers were finally able to beat Sergei Bobrovsky and scored five goals on their first 17 shots, forcing Paul Maurice to replace him with Anthony Stolarz, who allowed three more goals.

Florida couldn't do anything to stop the Oilers from scoring, and at some point, frustration boiled over.
After a whistle, Matthew Tkachuk grabbed Connor McDavid and roughed him up for a few seconds. He delivered a few uppercuts to the Oilers' captain before referees intervened and sent him to the penalty box for two minutes:
"This is why nobody respects this clown!
Tkachuk with three uppercuts to McDavid."
Tkachuk with three uppercuts to McDavid."
During the powerplay, the Oilers scored another goal:
The Oilers will try to keep that momentum going into game 5 in Florida. As for the Panthers, they'll need to be careful as Edmonton could very well orchestrate a comeback to win the Stanley Cup.
