The Great One was not particularly a fan of Matthew Tkachuk's goal celebrations thinking there is more to be done.
Gretzky Criticizes Tkachuk's Goal Celebration
Wayne Gretzky was known for being a rather gentlemanly player. Despite this reputation, he criticized Matthew Tkachuk and his goal celebrations.
After game 2, Gretzky said this:
-
It appears Tkachuk took this advice with his series-clinching goal, the celebration was next level.
-
The celebration of this goal has been photographed and will be one of the most iconic images from the 2023 playoffs.
-
With the Panthers looking to clinch the cup, Tkachuk has been a key player and it is between him and Sergei Bobrovsky for the Conn Smythe if the Panthers win.
Should Tkachuk take Gretzky's advice and up his celebration game?
