During the series against Toronto, which Ottawa lost in six games, Tkachuk expressed his gratitude towards the Senators` fans and the organization itself.
The captain reaffirmed this dedication during his post-season press conference held on Saturday.
He stated, “`I want to play here, I want to be here, and I really believe in everybody in this organization that everybody wants to win here. That’s what makes it fun. Everybody has the same goal and wants to accomplish the same thing.`”
Tkachuk addressed and denied speculation circulating about his desire to leave the team.
He commented on the rumors, stating, “`Obviously, it’s a lie. All those articles, stories, it’s just not true. But I think it’s on me if I let that bother me or take me off what I’m trying to do.`”
