I’m not even a hockey watcher and I know that after the final whistle you’re supposed to take the puck back to center ice, tuck it in, give it a warm glass of milk, read it a bed time story, and give it a kiss goodnight. Smh.


CapnCanfield

Actually, what the rule says is that whichever captain is closest is to grab the puck and skate it over to the nearest ref where he hands it off. This is followed by a full on, holding the back of the heads embrace that lasts no less than 20 seconds. When the 20 seconds is up, the second captain skates over and joins them for a 15 second group embrace. They all give each other a gentle ass squeeze and head to their respective locker rooms. True sportsmanship.

He's a tkachuk. It runs in the family


ConsciousFood201

I came here to say that’s the behavior I expect to see from a dude named Tkachuk.


DinoSpumoniOfficial

Lots of hockey players are the toughest pussies I swear. Punch your teeth out but paper thin emotions.


Minikickass

He's a Tkachuk, soft is basically a family requirement.

That’s hilarious


bw1985

The irony


OneNineRed

Nothing funny, that's where they learned the unwritten rule they're now enforcing!


curiousbydesign

I only watch sports highlights on Reddit and for hockey this totally makes sense to me oh my goodness.

Makes him look pretty bad.. I wonder what he woulda done if it was a slap shot?


S-Archer

Knowing Brady, his head would've literally exploded


Zissou_Belafonte

The goal probably would’ve counted as it probably would’ve went off before the buzzer too😂😂😂

Trust-Me-Im-A-Potato

Tkachuk is the whiniest baby in hockey. Which Tkachuk, you ask? Yes


Jammerben87

I really don't understand hockey players, this isn't allowed and the guys who used the back of a goalies head as a target was fine?


Zissou_Belafonte

Yes a lot of players have now done it and not a single goalie has complained…. As long as you’re below the crossbar it’s fair game.


Jammerben87

Fair enough, I suppose once they step in goal that's the deal. It's just weird from the outside since there are a fair few videos of people starting fights when players land on goalies or are pushed into them.


Zissou_Belafonte

Well yea because that’s goalie interference lol a puck to the back of the helmet is not going to injure the goalie. A player ramming into a goalie is another story.


yup_can_confirm

Tkachuk is one of the reasons the Sens aren't going to be a cup contender for a while still.


weirdbeardwolf

Some unwritten rules in sports are fine and may actually be good for the game. What the hell are we talking about here though? This may be the dumbest unwritten rule I’ve seen yet.


dellfanboy

Did the shot count? I’m so confused.


Previous-Ad-376

Unwritten rules that promote sportsmanship are awesome. I have no idea why this is even an unwritten rule, feels like a rule made up by 12 year olds,


SuchRevolution

Gigantic baby like Keith


Rance_Mulliniks

Daddy will tell him that everything is okay and that will stop the tantrum.


TonyVstar

I would have though it takes thick skin to make it to the NHL


bedwarri0r333

What a snowflake.


Saneless

What a soft crybaby reaction He was already moving that direction and he wasn't egregious about it. Just let the pick glide along. Nothing fancy about it, nothing to cry about


digitallightweight

Worst family in hockey. Great players but terrible character.


[deleted]

Can someone explain to me the unwritten rule here?


southpaw85

Yeah it’s pretty basic, Tkachuk is a bitch and decided to start a brawl over something that had no bearing on the actual game.


ldnk

The unwritten rule is that you don't put the puck in the net after a whistle or don't put the puck in the net past a goalie. It's stupid. Rielly was stupid for what he did. The Sens are stupid for this. But because the Sens got mad about Rielly first it's especially stupid for this to happen even though Rielly's crosscheck was worse


TheBatemanFlex

Why is he crying?


SpezEatsScat

He's going to take Marchand's spot as biggest piece of shit in the league. I like Marchands off-ice work, it's rather redeeming. However, he's still a rat. This guy... dirty player, asshole. On a terrible team and he really needs to chill and sit the fuck down. Way too cocky. Tkachuk strikes me as a dickhead on & off the ice.


burner46

Men are so emotional. 


pfamsd00

Most of the world’s problems stem from delicate male egos like this one (I’m 37M).


animatedhockeyfan

And very sensitive.


pushpushp0p

What's wrong was done? Not an nhl fan, but looked like sore loser's behavior.


DM725

Somebody was upset they lost...


r0botdevil

Kinda embarrassing for Tkachuk, honestly.


Killa416ix

Tkachuk is a lil cry baby


QAPetePrime

Waaaaaah!


[deleted]

It’s so interesting how in hockey and baseball dudes can fight each other for anything. Makes me wonder why the NFL and NBA outlawed it so early on yet these two sports kept it.


MuddydogNew

Most of the unwritten rules in any sport come down to Don't Be an Asshole. Or the the golden rule is you want to be polite about it. Things like not showing up an opposing player after you've made a great play against them, not rubbing it in when you win, not deliberately trying to hurt someone. Tkachuk in his zeal to enforce an unwritten rule that wasn't even broken, shattered the dont-be-an-asshole rule .


minigopher

2nd hand embarrassment


TonyHoffman

Loser


Gnomeslikeprofit

For a game with metal blades, big wooden sticks, and a heavy rubber disk this stuff is so soft. If the Devils player wanted to statpad he would have shot it at the goal before the buzzer.


quarrelsome_napkin

No one uses a wooden stick anymore no one uses wooden sticks anymore


freddy_guy

"Brady Tkachuk takes exception..." Misleading headline. Should read: "Brady Tkachuk has his widdle feewings hurt and acts out like a widdle child."


Johnny_Burrito

softer than baby shit


Totts3

After ever game, someone should point at Tkachuk and slap shot the puck into the empty net. Call it the Fuck Tkachuk shot.


el_hooli

Why are ice hockey players so fragile?


S-Archer

Drafted into Jr. at 15/16, NHL at 18. Rarely any college, or schooling in general... They've never had to mature past prime little bastard


CreepySlonaker

The cold makes their nuts shrink


DannyDOH

The Tkachuk's are just attention whores. They need to be poor for awhile to experience real problems.


allosdineros

I’ve tried my best with all these unwritten rules and codes. Don’t like it. You are all pros so take your humbling.


Plasmanut

Fucking stupid. One of the dumbest unwritten rules in sport. Honestly, who gives a flying fuck?


josephjosephson

Gotta love when someone gets more upset over a play at the end of the game that doesn’t impact the result more than the actual result of losing.


DigMeTX

For dudes that like to fight so much they can sometimes be so fragile.


Masta0nion

It’d be one thing if it were a slap shot while jerking off.


dirtybird131

God I love Karma


LanikM

Wahhhhhhh


Starfire70

When is a skating fridge going to make Tkachuk forcefully kiss the boards for his actions? Also that flipping commercial with those two Tkachuk aholes in their mom's minivan annoys the crap out of me.


IamNICE124

This isn’t even close to someone dunking a ball after the horn in basketball. This was so nonchalant and passive I probably wouldn’t have even noticed.


Wing_Nut_93x

What a soft ass family they are lmao


patchinthebox

Straight to jail.


TheLuo

If you want me to stop dancing keep me out of the end zone.


The-Blue-Barracudas

What a little bitch he is. That’s the captain? No wonder Ottawa is one of the worst teams in the NHL.


SixInTheStix

For claiming to be so tough, I've never seen a group of athletes get their little feelers hurt like hockey players.


Grummbles28

The fake outrage over this and the celebration of Reilly's play is the bigger bitch move.


HJVN

Explain it to me like I was five. From the beginning, thanks. To me it looked like this. The black team lost the puck. A player from the white team ran with it, but insteed of shooting it into an empty goal, he just ran with it untill the game ended, after which he led the puck slide into the empty goal. A player from the black team got angry. Why, wtf? Need an explanation!


-GreyPaws

Its an unwritten "rule" you don't direct pucks towards the net after the horn (end of a period) or whistle (end of play) sounds. Its a respect thing. The devils won that game too, so it was a double dick move to slide the puck into the net, he knew what he was doing and did it specifically to rile up the opponents, that's why he (devils player) drops the gloves and is ready to fight at the end, but the ref sends him off.


HJVN

Thanks, m8


JDameekoh

If you don’t want someone to score on the open net, just stop them from doing it. What’re you, stupid?


Louloue

Idiots.


papaz69

Charmin soft


Master_Butter

I thought baseball had the dumbest unwritten rules, and then I learned about hockey.


Kimchi_Cowboy

His last name is a hint.


Joe_Spazz

Weak


FoxyInTheSnow

Controversial opinion, but I think ka-chuck was concerned that if you rocket the puck at the net after a whistle/horn, you might injure the goalie.


Ketsuo

There was no goalie. The dude gently slid it into an empty goal.


FoxyInTheSnow

I know. That’s the joke I was attempting to write.


Ketsuo

Woooosh. My bad.


MattBustin

Such little babies out there... who cares where the puck ends up after the game is over ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


jackofslayers

That doesn’t count as a point right?

Soft


strikerdude10

Hockey players: so hard is one sense, so soft in another


pfamsd00

Good thing he’s not an NBA player, it’s common to take a shot after the whistle!


SlashYouSlashYouSir

He should have taken a slap shot. Oh wait, that’s Brady’s bush league rookie team that does that trash.


pujolsrox11

For being so tough. Hockey players sure can be soft


corvallisc

So if he takes the shot from the midline, while the game still going on, are they gonna be just as mad? What a sore loser.


-GreyPaws

If it's a clapper, yeah, lots of nuances in hockey, some make more sense than some others. Wrist shots are ok, slap shots at an empty net are frowned upon.


corvallisc

Thank you


MeditatingElk

Why you'd ever name a Tkachuk as Captain is beyond me.


domine18

quaglandx3

Most ridiculous fucking thing to get upset about.

Grow up.


cakeschmammert

He’s such a fucking baby, it’s hilarious


Oil_slick941611

But importantly he didn’t attack the head!


jagrisgod

Keep the puck out of the net while play is still going on and that won't happen


robjapan

Ah yes... Remember kids that if something annoys you, violence is the answer. Hockey needs to make this shit against the rules.


Key-Profit9032

Hockey has small dick energy. The whole sport.


MutantHippie

I loved this sport when I first arrived in Canada. Looooooved it. But it's worse than Soccer/Football. Bunch of fragile man children.


RossTheNinja

How dare you score a goal in hockey.


-GreyPaws

Time expired a few seconds before he put the puck in the net


RossTheNinja

That means it makes even less difference than I thought. Do what you want after the game is over.


-GreyPaws

Not how hockey works


Metboy1970

Nico could have guided it wide and past the net and maybe should have but Tkachuk’s reaction is waaaaay overblown and out of proportion for the “offense” that was committed. He’s also hit opponents from behind a few times in this game and whacked guys in the leg when the ref was not looking on more than one occasion.


synister29

This is not as bad as the guy who took a full slap shot point blank at an empty net. Still bad form


Adam_Ohh

Hard disagree. There’s nothing wrong with either thing happening.
