Matthew Tkachuk did it again.
After the star forward for the Florida Panthers scored the game-winner in quadruple (!) overtime in Game 1 of the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals, he put in the game-winner in the first OT of Game 2 on Saturday night.
Once again, we got to see the best new celebration in the NHL playoffs: Tkachuk signaled to the team to get right off the ice immediately, a walk-off of epic proportions like he did in Game 1.
NHL fans loved it, and rightfully so. If we get to see more immediate game-winners from Tkachuk or other Panthers, I want to see a walk-off:
