Love the energy. Thank you. Oh, my gosh. I'm up now, boys.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
It's kind of set in finally. We've had a few days to really reflect on it. The bodies took a little bit of a toll. you know, so much for people thinking it was going to be an all-star game. That was, I mean, I played in the Stanley Cup finals last year and it was, it was the exact same. So it was, it was very fun. Highlight for me was getting a chance to play with Brady though.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
It was, it was such an incredible time and something that we're going to look back on forever.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Yeah, so my parents never let us play one sport year-round or just one sport in general. Genius. My dad obviously played 19 years in the NHL. Shout out to Keith. I remember him telling us at such a young age, you have to be well-rounded. You have to enjoy going from one group of friends to your other group of friends in the baseball season, in the summer, your school soccer team.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
What else do we play? Basketball, soccer? Lacrosse. Lacs. Nice.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
You could get your hands on them. We'd swing the sticks and play some golf in the summer. But I remember, like, after hockey season, we might have played a few spring tournaments, maybe one summer tournament just to, like, I don't know, hang out with some friends. And other than that, the hockey bag was throw it in the garage and, you know, we'll see it again in September, October.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
So I think, like, I got to give our parents a ton of credit for that because – one, all these kids nowadays are getting burnt out early and they're almost getting forced to play it. And I don't even know if they love it.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
And I think that it just helped grow our love for hockey more because, you know, when you're playing other sports and we're having so much fun, like you're almost excited again for hockey season. So I give them a lot of credit for that. And I don't think we played just hockey until, I don't know, Brady, when we went to the U S team at 15, like that might've been, that might've been high school.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Yeah, like we both played – we had similar paths. So we both went to the U.S. team for our – And this is U.S. juniors? Yeah, so it's U.S. juniors. It's the U-17 and U-18 national team in Ann Arbor, which was huge for us. And all the best players in the country are coming together, competing, practicing together, just making everybody better.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
And then I went and played junior in Canada for my draft year. And then two years later, Brady went to BU for his draft year. So that was the only difference that we had in our hockey paths. Nice.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
I think that, you know, USA, that team is such a proud group of Americans and wanted to show how united we were and how proud we were to be Americans. I mean, let's face it, like, In the last bunch of years, you really haven't seen that from Americans in general, to show off how proud they are to be a part of the United States.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
I think that our team did a great job of making a big impact on people from the whole tournament, but especially that game against Canada, going into a hostile environment and wanting to set the tone in a very tough place to play against a very great team.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
You know, we knew it was going to be an intense game and me, Brady and Mills, you were talking before about it, about, you know, potentially, you know, if there were going to be just some scraps doing it right away. Maybe, you know, if the feeling's right, you know.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
But to be honest, we was all joking around until like right before we went out for the anthem. And then, you know, we send in our, we are the road team. We send in our lineup first, then they send in theirs. And, you know, they, I was just like, Brady, I'm going to ask whoever's lined up on their left side to fight at first. And then the guy I asked fought me. And then,
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Brady, I guess, went right over to the bench.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Yeah, calling for it mid-fight. And then Millsy went right after. I just think it was, you know, it made me very proud of, to be playing for that team during that moment to see how united we were. And like I said, a hostile environment at the end of the day, it's, you know, a fight to fight. You're going there to beat the other guy up. But I think it was more than that.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
It was more to show your teammates, you know, we got this, you know, we're, we're together in this. We all come from different parts of the country, different backgrounds, different teams. And, you know, we're in this and we're going to fight together. So that's fucking badass. That made me really, really proud, to be honest with you.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
And even people since the tournament, that's all they're talking about, how proud they were of our team and how united we were and how we were an inspiration to them. And I think that's come from the whole tournament, but that's what makes me most proud, I think.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
How clean was our dab up, too, Brady?
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
30 years later, it's like the exact same story.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
I'm going to take this question off because Brady would kick my ass. Yeah.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Brady's a brawler. He's got the left and right. He's throwing both hands. That's too much for me.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Watching Brady was legit like the most proud I've ever been. It was just so surreal. It was awesome.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
It's just like, I don't know. You guys know what it's like. We're with each other. It's like we're two little kids again just having fun. So that's what it felt like in the box. It was the best. Fuck yeah, man.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Well, I think it's exciting because you've got people across the country that might have never heard about hockey before or watched a game that are now fans. And that's something that, you know, I think Brady and I and the rest of our team should be proud of and that we grew the game in this country. And the game's in a better place now than it was two weeks ago.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
So I think that, first and foremost, is very exciting. I just think we have to keep building momentum, like, with these international events, too, because – like I said, how much pride our team showed in representing our country. There's nothing like wearing that jersey. It doesn't matter what team you're on. There's just nothing like it.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
I just think next year when it comes to the Olympics, we have to do a job and compete our asses off and ultimately come out with exactly what we want to accomplish. I think that's very important, but The game's in a better place right now, and this tournament was a great idea for whoever came up with it, and it was a huge success. Absolutely. Hockey keeps growing in this country.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
I think, too, our team in Florida, a nontraditional hockey market, has seen so much youth hockey grow. Tampa's had a lot of success, so you're seeing it there. Our captain, Austin Matthews, is from Scottsdale. There's guys from all over the country that –
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
My dad came a little bit later than, than Holly. My dad came, we were both born in Arizona when he played for the Coyotes. And I think I was four, Brady was two, maybe. I don't know the exact, when we moved to St. Louis, instantly got hooked on the blues and the players on that team. But it's funny, like,
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
As we got older, because my dad played until he was 39, so we were more than old enough to remember and watch and love the game and love some of the teammates and other guys across the league. At one point later on in his career, our dad's just our dad. He's not an NHL player. He's not cool. The cool guys are Sidney Crosby and Patrick Kane and those guys.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
So as much as we were Blues fans, you know, we, our idols and guys we wanted to be like were Sidney Crosby, Patrick Kane, some of those young, you know, studs at the time that now we get to play against. So it's so surreal. But our dad is, you know, is the best. And looking back, you know, what he did for us is he kind of ingrained the love for hockey, like organically, but physically.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
him bringing us to the rink all the time. Like there were no rules from the coach or the GM. Like my boys are coming to the rink. They're going to skate before they're going to hang out in the room. And luckily they're, you know, everybody was really cool with it and allowed it. But that's awesome, man. That's so cool. So I think, and Bree and I both played in the NHL when we were 18.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
And I think what a lot of guys have trouble with maybe out of the gates is what it's like coming into a room full of, you know, NHL guys at that age. And, maybe the lights might be too bright, but you know, we grew up in the rink, you know, with my dad bringing us and being around the guys, being around the trainers, you know, treating them, you know, as good as you can.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
And, you know, just being around older guys. And, and so I think that him doing that really allowed us to have success right away and allowed us to make the NHL at that age. So a lot of credit goes to that, but growing up, I don't know, Brady, like some of the best memories for us is just being around the room with the guys and
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
shooting the shit and skating with them before practice i mean it's it's memories that i've always thought about and i can't believe that we were lucky enough to be able to do that heck we were just talking about uh your family watching you guys brawl did you guys ever see dad throw the uh throw the hands on the ice oh yeah what was that like a couple of times oh it was it was we were just oh dad you got you got beat up last night
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
I remember, I remember once we were in the room, we were playing, like, we were just like, you know, play, fight. Somebody would be like, all right, you guys should fight. We dropped the gloves, you know, fight, whatever. But I remember one time it was after the game, we're in the family lounge and we're playing mini sticks with a bunch of kids and I just run Brady. Sorry.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
And I just run Brady in the numbers, you know, right from – right cross check the back or right into the couch. So as the Blues doctors and training staff had an easy night, nobody got hurt, so they're leaving the rink. And my dad calls back and the team doctor comes and grabs Brady and Brady had to get stitches. That's – Those are some of the shenanigans that we were up to at the rink.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
It was a blast.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
It was so special. He worked his ass off for 19 years and came close, but ultimately didn't get to finish the job. So to me, one of the coolest parts of that day, I'm sure Brady might remember it a little bit, but I remember it vividly exactly what was going on. So you were obviously up 3-0. We blow a 3-0 lead. We're going to Game 7.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
And for some reason, like this day was just, it was just a calmer day. Like it was just, I don't know why it probably shouldn't have been, but it just felt better. And I'm going to my car to drive to the rink and Brady and my dad walk me out. Don't say anything. Just walk me to the car.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
And I thought that was just like, all right, they got my back, you know, no matter what happens, but you know, this is, this is important. And as I'm driving out, I just like, you know, I just clues in with me. I'm like, I'm not only playing for, you know, myself and my teammates, but like, I'm playing for my family that have sacrificed absolutely everything for me.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
My dad has came, has come so close. You know, Brady is, has put in so much work and we'll get there one day, but like I'm playing for my whole family and everybody that's got me to this point. So that was like a super cool moment. And then the next coolest was, was after that game when we're on the ice, when I finally got to hug them all and,
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
And I don't know how, but the cup got into my hands, like when all the families were out there and just me handing it to my dad, uh, that first time was a feeling that I'll, I'll never be able to really explain how I, you know, how unbelievable it was. And then, uh, And then all the shenanigans in the locker room afterwards, just, you know, the cherry on top.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
But that was such an incredible day and one of the most amazing days of my life. And I was so happy I got to share it with, you know, my brother and my sister, my parents, all the family. It was really cool. That's so awesome.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Yeah, so it was all, like, so fast. I remember we won. I had, like, went to... the cape cape cod to party for fourth of july then went out in tahoe saw you guys there then right after tahoe like i had to race back to st louis because i got it like a couple days later so it all happened so fast but i was the lucky one i got it for a day and a half so i got to hit up everything I wanted to in St.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Louis. I had, you know, an unreal party, people flying in from all over the country, family from everywhere, friends came back in town. It was so cool. But the two things that I really, really wanted to do when I had Day with the Cup is One, I really wanted to bring it to the Children's Hospital.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
It's been such a big, important charity in our family's life, going back to my dad, giving back and working with them throughout his career, and then Bray and I doing stuff in our respective cities. So that was number one, wanted to take it there. That's awesome, man.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
And then two, I just really wanted a few hours at some point in the day where it was just my family and I and just staring at the cup. Yeah. Just hanging out and like hearing the cup stories from the, you know, from the cup keeper. Yeah. You know, hearing, you know, what was the craziest year, craziest party? What'd this guy do with it? You know, where'd this guy take it?
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
And just hearing all the incredible things that this guy, big silver trophy has been through. And now it's in my house and I get to hold it and lift it whenever I want. Like it was so surreal. And I know it was just so special for me to have the support of all my family throughout the whole year.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
But like that day in the middle of summer, when it started to, you know, die down a little bit, wasn't truly an incredible day. And, and yeah, I can't wait to, to try to compete for it again.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
What are you going to do to get in trouble with that guy? Yeah, I didn't know he could either. But I guess after we won zero hours of sleep about 40 beers later, I took it into the ocean and I guess it doesn't deal well with salt water, which it makes sense now. But I didn't know the rules. I mean, we just won the thing 12 hours earlier. I'm not thinking about any rules.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Yeah, but they weren't too thrilled with me. But yeah, it's all good. We're good now. We'll get it figured out.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
I remember it was the first time I played the drinking game baseball. Yeah! And that was, I've told the story because, you know, I don't know, one of the guys that we were playing with, I know it was four on four. I know our team was Travis, Miles, Teller, Chase Crawford and myself. It was B.G., Blake Griffin, the Miz, Osh, and Baker. Yeah, so it was kind of an iconic game.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
And somebody's family member, I don't know who, but took a picture of it or something. I just remember, I mean, Trav was like Shohei. He was hitting home runs and stealing bases. He was the MVP.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
camaraderie guys on base on base percentage that's what it's all about on base percentage yeah that was uh that was a really fun uh i mean you guys know how fun that week was and i'm looking forward to this year again brady you're gonna make it out to tylo this year i'll take a caddy job at this point i don't have to have the stress of shanking and hitting people it happens
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
TJ's the man, though, man. Yeah, no, that was a fun, fun night for sure.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Yeah, that right there. Brady, you can just answer first each time. Boom. There we go.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Matthew. Matthew? Oldest? I don't think so. I think... No, let's say Taryn. Let's go with the easy answer. There you go. That's easy. She's the only girl in the family, so she's the favorite.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
I'm going to go work on some stuff. That's, that's a good one. I think mine was just first NHL game was in the new Edmonton rank. And they did like a passing of a torch moment right before we went on the ice where Gretzky had Messier or on the ice, just like with the puck and they left it. And then McDavid came flying off the bench and like took the puck and scored and the building erupted.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
I'm like, Holy cow. I can't be here right now. You just gave me chills just thinking about that shit. Holy crap. I'm like, there's no way I'm in the right place right now. So that was mine. But also, I played Ovechkin a few weeks after. And same story as Brady. He's like, welcome to the NHL, kid. And I'm like, how did he? And he's a big man, too. So that was cool.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Brady, I'll save you a trouble. I'll answer this one. I don't need you to stuff me in a locker with your answer. I would go Brady, my dad, me. Yeah?
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Oh, chance, Brady. I got you.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
You don't have to be nice. I got you in that.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Dude. For sure, you guys at hockey.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
It's been a long time. You guys have the size. You guys have the size and the intimidation. Brady and I would just be like – You guys are 6'2 and 6'4. What do you mean? You guys are big dudes. Yeah. We'd be very slow compared to everybody. We'd be – I don't know.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Brady's probably built for – you've got a little tight end in you, Brady, I think. Tight end, D end, maybe. I can see that. And then I think I'm linebacker. Throw that in there. Middle linebacker. Let them know. Yeah, probably middle linebacker. All heart, baby. All heart. A middle linebacker that, you know, wants some goal line offensive plays for a touchdown. There we go.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
I just know Brady. I actually do remember. I just know that that would actually affect him, and I can't believe it did.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Yeah, it's surprising. There's not much chirping in the NHL anymore. It's kind of like a lost art. I mean, people just don't really do it that much. I think the intimidation factor is more of the chirp itself than the actual words. So I think Brady's pretty good at that as well.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
it's so funny though like i feel like when you say that to people though sometimes it could be a chirp it's like oh brady you're a beauty like you're yeah like it's used both ways probably that's probably our favorite one because it can mean so many different different ways i guess it doesn't make sense for sure you're such a oh yeah last one last one yeah you're a fucking beaut i'll tell you what
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Oh, man. I think, I think my dad's most impressive stat is he scored 50 goals, which is insane. He scored it twice in a season. So one of the years he had 200 penalty minutes with it. So it's like, it's like, damn dad, like you put that number at a hundred, like you might've scored 60.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
Did you guys grow up skating on the outdoor rink ever? Never. Never skated on the outdoor. Mystery Alaska, it's like a myth to us.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
That's a funny one. Everyone was calling Brady and I, comparing us to the Hanson brothers in Slapshot.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
I don't know if we were that crazy, but maybe we were a little bit. Dude, those dudes were batshit crazy, man. So fucking good, man. The best is when the ref comes up to them during the anthem and basically saying, no antics tonight. They already have bloody noses.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Matt & Brady Tkachuk on 4 Nations Face-Off, Partying with The Cup & Art of Hockey Fights | Ep 126
