Video: Tkachuk Gets Revenge on Holl for Crushing Hit on Gaudreau

Shane Seney Saturday, March 20, 2021 Calgary Flames, Toronto Maple Leafs

The Toronto Maple Leafs took on the Calgary Flames on Friday night in a back and forth affair. Both goalies gave up some weak goals but it was a huge hit that's our focus here and what transpired afterwards. Leafs defenseman Justin Holl laid a huge hit on Flames star Johnny Gaudreau and immediately it felt like he was eventually going to have to answer to his actions.

Matthew Tkachuk made sure that was the case, even with a slight delay.

You see, Tkachuk and Holl dropped their gloves to fight but the fight almost didn't happen.

Take a look as Holl gets beat up a little bit as Tkachuk does a great job always standing up for his teammates:
