Craig Berube Hilariously Responds to Matthew Tkachuk Threatening William Nylander

Matthew Tkachuk has been a menace since entering the NHL, however, that has been even more true ever since the forward began playing for the Florida Panthers.

On Sunday night, Tkachuk took things a step too far by threatening to injure William Nylander in Game 5. This was all prompted by Max Domi's hit on Aleksander Barkov.

Game 5 is set to go down on Wednesday, and based on Nylander's comments, he does not appear to be all that worried about any of this.

Another person who does not seem to be worried in the slightest is none other than Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube, who spoke about the threats to the media.

Instead of taking any of this seriously, Berube offered some humor to the situation. He stated that Nylander probably wasn't even listening to Tkachuk, as the forward doesn't listen to his coach either.

Game 5 goes down tomorrow with the series tied at 2-2 and it is going to be interesting to see how the Leafs are able to come out of this one.

Overall, the fans are hoping for a series win here as the Leafs have a chance to make the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2002.

Interestingly enough, it could very well be a rematch of 2002 as the Carolina Hurricanes are up 3-1 on the Washington Capitals.

However, the only way the Maple Leafs actually get there is by showing the world that they are ready for this moment. That means an epic performance in Game 5.
