Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk was bold when he claimed that he and his teammates have no choice but to triumph in Game 3 tonight if they want to clinch the Stanley Cup.
“You can’t make it a series unless you got the victory in the match tonight,” claimed Tkachuk as the franchise will play the 1st game of the Stanley Cup final at home as they lost the 1st two matches from the series against Golden Knights in Las Vegas.
“Coming back to South Florida, I think it’s the best motivation ever. To protect the home ice, like we have all postseason, and make this a matchup,” added the Panthers superstar.
Matthew Tkachuk calls tonight the Panthers’ biggest game of the season. On his own game, says he needs to have the puck more tonight, get more pucks to the net, shoot more. Needs to find more room through that Vegas D. pic.twitter.com/l76i7UoqSW
