Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk was seen trying to injure another Maple Leafs goaltender, going after Joseph Woll as the buzzer sounded for Game 6.

As Game 6 concluded, the Maple Leafs held their heads high as they skated away with a 2-0 victory, tying the series and getting a chance to do something historic, while also knocking off last year's Stanley Cup Champions.
Clearly Florida was upset at not being able to close things out at home, and that carried over until the final buzzer, and who else but Matthew Tkachuk was front and center of it all.
Gotta love a sucker punch at the end of being shutout, and it just goes to show the type of player Tkachuk is, and the type of ship that Paul Maurice runs.
Luckily for Woll, he had the hard as nails Simon Benoit backing him up, and if anyone could dispatch of Tkachuk and separate him from Woll it's Benoit.
At least teammate Sam Bennett tried his best to hide the blatant elbow to Anthony Stolarz's head.

Frustrations At Absolute Peak For Matthew Tkachuk Heading Into Game 7

Tkachuk tried his best, putting up three shots and five hits, but he was a minus-1 and a penalty and clearly let his frustrations boil over, which isn't surprising given how vocal and threatening he has been the entire series.
Joseph Woll was a literal wall on Friday night, and while Florida at times had a great advantage and definitely enjoyed more power plays than the Maple Leafs, they couldn't solve Toronto's suddenly staunch defense.
Tkachuk followed through with his threats at the end of Game 5, not only saying that he was hunting the Leafs, but had a literal throat slash taunt directed at Bobby McMann who luckily avoided any potential injury or confrontation.
His nine points in 11 games are helping keep Florida in the game, but another performance like Game 6 will leave the reigning champs wondering what went wrong as Toronto heads into the Conference Finals to take on either Carolina or Washington.
Tkachuk will have a lot of frustrations to take out if that happens. Send your condolences for all of the golf balls he's going to hammer in anger after losing to his bitter rivals.
