Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk may face a suspension from the NHL following his cheap shots on Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid.

Matthew Tkachuk is on the brink of winning his first Stanley Cup with the Florida Panthers, but he might be watching the next game from the press box.
Despite the Edmonton Oilers' dominant 8-1 win over the Panthers last night, attention is now on Tkachuk's actions. During a net-side scrum, Tkachuk landed several cheap punches on Connor McDavid's head, raising the possibility of a suspension.
While the Panthers lead the series 3-1, Tkachuk's presence in the lineup is crucial. His reckless behavior could sideline him at a critical moment.
This is why nobody respects this clown!

Didn't think I'd ever see this one broken
