The Florida Panthers took a 2-1 series lead over the Boston Bruins last night, but Keith Tkachuk is suddenly under fire for his actions during game two.
It all stems from Keith's reaction to late game shenanigans that happened in game two. With the Panthers huge lead, tensions grew as the Bruins tried to respond. It all lead up to a tense fight between Matthew Tkachuk and David Pastrnak.

Former Quebec Nordiques head coach Michele Bergeron thinks Keith's reaction sets a bad precedent for other parents with children that play hockey.
"They say that the NHL is the lead example for young athletes, coaches and parents. We stand up against parents who attack and shout at their children, opponents or referees in minor circuits. But there, we Daddy Tkachuk raise his arms and celebrate, and he played in the National League Look at this big idiot!"
