NHL: Vancouver Canucks at Ottawa Senators - Source: Imagn
Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk is the kind of player who wears his heart and emotions on his sleeve, as he's demonstrated throughout his NHL career.
His emotions may have gotten the better of him during Satuday's loss to the Vancouver Canucks in which he accumulated 21 penalty minutes. However, Senators coach Green believes that the criticism the young Senators captain is getting may be getting out of hand.
"Sometimes you gotta light a fire under a guy's ass and try to get him to play hard," Green said of Tkachuk on Monday. "I'd much rather have a guy that plays extremely hard and teach him when to do it and when not to do it. I think people forget this guy is a young guy still."
