Obviously, John's a big guy, and it's a great opportunity for him. I don't know much about his tendencies because we don't play Tampa Bay very often. But I do know he's an American, and that means he's a competitor.
"Keith Matthew Tkachuk" is a retired American professional ice hockey player who played for four teams and three franchises in his 19-year career. He is one of only five American-born players to score 500 goals, and is the sixth American player to score 1,000 points and is considered to be one of the greatest United States/US-born players in NHL history.

We're up 2-0 and they play almost the entire second period in our end.
We're not going to quit. We're going to keep going after everybody.
It means everything to me. ... I can't wait. I want to win a gold medal, bottom line. It's my last one, so I'm looking forward to it.
When you lose two guys like that, those are two great friends of mine and you're not happy about it. But you understand that's the business we're in and it gives a lot of these kids an opportunity to go out and show that they belong in the NHL.
The young guys have done a great job. They're having a lot of fun out there and it's really neat to see as an older player or as a fan.
That really paved the way for a lot of us Americans to be in the NHL and get an opportunity to play for our country.
It's been tough, it seems like every day something else happens. You try to help out as much as possible when you're in the lineup and hopefully be able to stay in the lineup for a long time.
