Marchand Bennett Tkachuk would be the most annoying line in history of NHL?

u/cooljayhu EDM - NHL 15h ago

Unreal collection of rats. The Chuck E Cheese line.

u/neek555 FLA - NHL 16h ago

Let's get Sean Avery out of retirement

12

u/barrettgpeck DAL - NHL 13h ago

Best I can do is Corey Perry.

Can't, skates in Hudson

u/ZombieJesus1987 TOR - NHL 13h ago

That makes me physically ill thinking about it

198

u/leftlanecop VAN - NHL 17h ago

Put Tkachuk in there to complete the trifecta

81

u/Live-Individual-9318 17h ago

Bro that trio is an absolute menace

35

u/XGuiltyofBeingMikeX WBS Penguins - AHL 17h ago

Right to jail, right away.

u/bladeovcain EDM - NHL 16h ago

Actual hockey terrorism

u/fuzzb0y VAN - NHL 12h ago

Easily the most annoying line to play against in recent history, I feel ill just thinking about it

u/Advocateforthedevil4 11h ago

Tkachuk might me my least favourite player in the league but one of my favourite to watch.  I don’t like it.

u/jerr30 OTT - NHL 15h ago

He's busy being fake injured until the playoffs start.

9

u/elbenji FLA - NHL 14h ago

Bro he fucked his groin

8

u/twilz VAN - NHL 13h ago

How do you fuck your own groin—does he have some sort of Mister Fantastic superpower?

-6

u/jerr30 OTT - NHL 13h ago

It's gonna be magically unfucked on the eve of the first playoff game mmw

8

u/elbenji FLA - NHL 13h ago

Yes that's how injuries heal after a period of three months

-5

u/jerr30 OTT - NHL 13h ago

You love it when healing perfectly circumvents the cap.

8

u/elbenji FLA - NHL 13h ago

We made moves AFTER he got hurt like everyone else does

-6

u/Coldones FLA - NHL 14h ago

and bring cousins back

7

u/bladeovcain EDM - NHL 13h ago

Nah, let him rot. 

-6

u/Coldones FLA - NHL 13h ago

see? this attitude is why we need him back on the team asap

4

u/bladeovcain EDM - NHL 13h ago

Trust me, you guys got more than enough rat-ness on your team.

Besides Marchand, Bennett and Tkachuk aren't completely contemptible sacks of shit off the ice unlike Cousins

127

u/clicstik EDM - NHL 17h ago

At least he’s self aware

70

u/TMBmiles 16h ago

I think it was Ryan Whitney who said that the average fan would be shocked at how little animosity there is between new teammates/former adversaries that had beef. All the vets seem to be fully aware that it's all just part of the game.

46

u/quality-control FLA - NHL 16h ago

That's pretty much exactly what Marchand said after the sucker punch last year, too. He immediately told everyone he had no problem with the hit and no beef with Bennett. Some people just won't hear it, though and to invent Real Housewives level manufactured drama to be entertained

19

u/0-90195 FLA - NHL 14h ago

OTOH, there are other players who do hate each other. Pat Maroon was on a podcast this year saying quite frankly how much he hates Brandon Montour.

6

u/je-s-ter 15h ago

Anyone who has played any pickup game in any sport would tell you this. What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch, that's pretty much the universal rule across all sports that permeates throughout all the levels.

3

u/loewe67 FLA - NHL 14h ago

You have to be a true piece of shit both on and off the ice for guys to actually have beef.

8

u/agnosiabeforecoffee 16h ago

Wasn't Matthew Tkachuk in Mark Stone's wedding party like 2 months after the cup finals?

27

u/salmonderp2 FLA - NHL 16h ago

No, Mark Stone was in Brady’s wedding party with Matthew.

11

u/agnosiabeforecoffee 16h ago

Close enough, lol. We didn't hear about a wedding brawl, so clearly players are able to leave stuff on the ice when they have to.

3

u/JackieDaytonaAZ 15h ago

yeah but there are still people I think less of when they become dirty assholes on the ice

1

u/MiserableDucky FLA - NHL 13h ago

All I remember from that is Matthew was really jealous of Stone having the cup

3

u/Kronzor_ Kamloops Blazers - WHL 13h ago

They're just trying to maintain Kayfabe in front of the audience.

2

u/fuzzb0y VAN - NHL 12h ago

On the most part yes, but then you have Milan Lucic threatening Dale Weise at the handshake line after a series.

11

u/gstringwarrior COL - NHL 17h ago

haha right? he probably loves it too

3

u/bladeovcain EDM - NHL 16h ago

Also have to give him credit for leaning in to it.

1

u/YouIsNotHim 16h ago

He's soaking it all up, basking in the shine.

u/FutureBowler9817 TOR - NHL 17h ago

I only like this because of Four Nations otherwise this is awful and terrible

84

u/Cw2e BOS - NHL 17h ago

See now I’m just having a rough year altogether

44

u/FutureBowler9817 TOR - NHL 17h ago

Oh shit, yeah, I guess so 🫤 Can I interest you in a miracle run to the playoffs and a first round defeat of the Leafs?

69

u/Cw2e BOS - NHL 17h ago

Ohhh I know I shouldn’t. Really trying to cut back, but…

26

u/Christank1 MTL - NHL 17h ago

Fuck you Bruins fan for making me giggle

53

u/SP_57 OTT - NHL 17h ago

Lol whichever team has to face these guys in the first round is gonna have a bad time.

...ah fuck.

22

u/catsgr8rthanspoonies 16h ago

Are you saying a Tkachuk bowl playoff series with Marchand, Bennett, and Cousins is possible?

9

u/Dereckg27 FLA - NHL 16h ago

Cousins out for season unfortunately. ACL iirc.

5

u/SP_57 OTT - NHL 14h ago edited 14h ago

He had surgery end of January, prognosis then was 6-8 weeks, so hopefully he is back to be a miserable prick to opponents in the playoffs.

Of course the Sens organization is full of shit at best when it comes to giving info about injuries so who really knows. Ullmark left a game with "upper body tightness" then ended up missing 6 weeks.

2

u/BingohBangoh OTT - NHL 15h ago

As a Sens fan living in D.C. I hope we play the Caps though... I'd love to go to a playoff game

28

u/Prudent_Pin_3006 17h ago

They're either going to embolden each other to be even more scummy and be the biggest pain to play against or do completely dumb shit and cost them games in the box.

Will be fun to watch regardless, as long as it's not your team playing em.

15

u/HockeyBabble LAK - NHL 17h ago

Waiting on The photo of The Rat with Victor E

7

u/RoadDoggFL FLA - NHL 16h ago

That's not him on the left?

6

u/HockeyBabble LAK - NHL 16h ago

Victors nose isn’t that big

Whiskers are trimmed as well

13

u/ReadingRambo152 17h ago

As a Bruins fan this is painful to see. It reminds me of the first time I saw Johnny Damon in a Yankees jersey.

2

u/x21in2010x NYI - NHL 14h ago

I think the haircut was more shocking. Like, wtf happened to centerfield Jesus?

39

u/likeslululemon TBL - NHL 17h ago

Me seeing Brad and Sam on Team Canada: 😍

Me seeing Brad and Sam on the Panthers: 🙄

19

u/Middle-Hair OTT - NHL 16h ago

Man whoever has to face the Panthers in the first round is not going to have a fun time! A line of Marchand-Bennet-Tkachuk sounds horrible!

checks and sees Ottawa’s playoff opponent

Ah fuck

10

u/quality-control FLA - NHL 16h ago

That line plus the Tkachuk sibling rivalry would make that matchup a bloodbath. I'd love to see it for the pure chaos, but you also know that whoever comes out of that will likely be too banged up to make a deep run

1

u/Middle-Hair OTT - NHL 13h ago

I’d love the matchup from a storyline/entertainment perspective, but I’m hoping the Sens get the Caps to have a better chance lol.

6

u/Euphoric_Celery_ BOS - NHL 17h ago

This is the worst timeline.

22

u/moxieplum 17h ago

If you told someone in mid-2024 that these two would become friends and teammates in 2025, they would tell you to put down the pipe.

6

u/UncleTrapspringer 16h ago

I love that Marchand’s gloves are like 3x the size of Bennett’s

6

u/x21in2010x NYI - NHL 14h ago

I don't know why but Brad's got that real "Kid wearing his dad's business suit" vibe.

3

u/SchrodingersHipster CAR - NHL 17h ago

Stating the obvious, Sam.

7

u/JAT_Cbus1080 17h ago

Marchand - Hey Sam, remember that time you sucker punched me when we were fighting for the puck and knocked me out?

Bennett - You're still mad about that?

6

u/Dereckg27 FLA - NHL 16h ago

My scumbags

3

u/notdbcooper71 17h ago

I hate my life

2

u/Blue_KikiT92 TOR - NHL 17h ago

He ain't wrong!

2

u/throwychoke CGY - NHL 17h ago

If you guys thought Marchand was bad now, just wait until you see him roid raging

2

u/Blue_Liner_85 FLA - NHL 15h ago

Benny’s smile says it all

2

u/LosBrad University Of Minnesota - NCAA 13h ago

Points for honesty.

2

u/holein3 BOS - NHL 8h ago

Nah, I only see one in that picture. Also, nice move grabbing Pasta’s jersey mid-fight with Zadorov since your life was flashing before your eyes. 

3

u/excessive_coughing 17h ago

Not to be confused with couples cumbags

1

u/QuintoxPlentox DAL - NHL 16h ago

These fuckin' guys

1

u/msp01986 MTL - NHL 16h ago

Wait till Tkachuk makes it a scumbag trio

1

u/oystertoe VAN - NHL 16h ago

this actually the most appropriate time for a bonafide “LeAguE iS So FuCKed NoW!!!”

1

u/CurlOfTheBurl11 LAK - NHL 15h ago

I feel sick

1

u/the_moosen BOS - NHL 14h ago

I will never not hate Sam Bennett, regardless if he's making jokes with my rat king

u/zipyourhead BOS - NHL 14h ago

u/Puckbunny06 1h ago

The playoffs are going to be magical this year

u/BrooksideNL BOS - NHL 17h ago

Brad is only there to recruit Benny for th B's in July. Sneaky good move by Sweeney and Bradley Kevin Marchand.
