Matthew Tkachuk's dream shootout goal doesn't involve Wayne Gretzky, praises ex-Stanley Cup champ instead
Matthew Tkachuk chooses unexpected NHL legend over Wayne Gretzky in clutch moment (Imagn Images) In a recent conversation that sparked debates across the hockey world, Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk made an eyebrow-raising revelation. If his life were on the line and one player had to take a shootout shot, he wouldn't go with 'The Great One. ' Instead, he'd trust TJ Oshie—a decision rooted in one unforgettable Olympic moment that still gives hockey fans chills. Why Matthew Tkachuk would trust TJ Oshie over Wayne Gretzky in a do-or-die shootout During an appearance on Jon 'Stugotz' Weiner's podcast at the American Century Championship celebrity golf event, Tkachuk didn't hesitate much before making the bold call. 'That's so tough… I feel like I saw somewhere once Gretzky said he didn't like breakaways, which I find that's not true, but one of my favorite moments in sports history was watching Oshie in the four-shootout-goal game, so I'm going to take Oshie. ' Tkachuk's choice stems from the now-iconic 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics performance where Oshie, then 27, practically became a national hero. With nerves of steel, he netted four shootout goals in Team USA's dramatic group-stage win over Russia. The display wasn't just impressive—it was unforgettable. It became a masterclass in poise, execution, and resilience under pressure. It's not just nostalgia talking, either. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Statistically, Oshie has been one of the NHL's most lethal shootout performers. With 49 shootout goals over 16 seasons, he's tied for third all-time in league history—a testament to his consistency and skill in high-stakes moments. Shootouts weren't part of Wayne Gretzky's era While Wayne Gretzky's legacy as hockey's most prolific scorer is unquestionable, it's important to note that the shootout format didn't even exist during his NHL career. Introduced in 2005, nearly six years after his retirement, the shootout became a whole new dimension of pressure and technique—one Oshie mastered while Gretzky never faced. Sure, Gretzky thrived in breakaways and even converted a penalty shot, but the dynamics of a modern shootout require a unique kind of mentality. For Tkachuk, Oshie represents that rare mix of calm and cold-blooded execution. In a life-or-death scenario, that's exactly who you'd want. And with that pick, Tkachuk not only gave Oshie a massive nod—but also reminded fans that greatness can look different, depending on the moment.

President of hockey operations Brian MacLellan, general manager Chris Patrick, coach Spencer Carbery and longtime teammates Nicklas Backstrom and John Carlson came out to support Oshie as he called it a career. 'My only contribution was that this could be a good day and place to have (the ceremony),' Oshie said, adding, 'I can't thank the Caps enough. Another first-class move by them to have my retirement here, invite all the people out. It really made this day special.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. This is my last time hanging up my skates. What an amazing journey it has been. Thank you to my family, friends, @StLouisBlues, @Capitals , fans and everyone that helped me along the way. I'm so grateful for what the game of hockey has given me and I look forward to the next… — TJ Oshie (@TJOshie77) June 11, 2025 Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

The announcement had been expected for quite some time, with Oshie's contract expiring. The 38-year-old did not play this past season because of a nagging back injury that sidelined him off and on, going on long-term injured reserve instead. Oshie said in the spring of 2024 he would only return to the Capitals if he found a permanent solution or fix to the issue. His final game was at home on April 28 last year against the New York Rangers, a 4-2 loss in the first round that eliminated Washington in a sweep. 'I was fully prepared that could be my last game: I got the pictures taken of me taking off the skates to prove it,' Oshie said. 'I hadn't thought too much about (the end), honestly, besides that moment. Even before that moment, knowing how tough it was on really the whole team with me, what I was going through, actually saying the words out loud at the podium with my family in front of me and the Caps organization, my teammates, all my close friends, it was emotional.'

Taken 24th in the 2005 draft by St. Louis, Oshie played 1,116 regular-season and playoff games in the league with the Blues and Capitals since making his debut in 2008. He had 336 goals and 428 assists for 764 points, including 21 points during Washington's Cup run. Oshie made an international name for himself at the Olympics, earning the nickname 'T.J. Sochi' for going 4 for 6 in shootout attempts against Sergei Bobrovsky during the U.S.-Russia preliminary round game in that tournament. U.S. Olympic coach Dan Bylsma figured one game would go to a shootout, hence the choice of bringing Oshie. Bylsma kept going back to him over and over. 'T.J. had been on fire that season in the shootout, and with the scouting report on Bobrovsky we felt T.J. would have a great chance against him,' Bylsma told The Associated Press by text message Monday. 'Even when he didn't score, he had beaten Bob with his move, so we kept rolling with him.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

Oshie took on an immediate leadership role as a key addition to the core of Alex Ovechkin, Backstrom and Carlson, helping the team make the playoffs in eight of his nine seasons in the nation's capital. 'I'll be the first to give credit to my teammates, because without them, I was nowhere near good enough to do it without a group like that,' Oshie said. Oshie's 76 power-play goals in D.C. are the fifth most in franchise history. He scored 49 times in the shootout, tied for third all time since it was implemented in 2005. 'I like to think that when I was playing, that I was playing for my teammates, for my coaches, for my family, for my fans. I rarely thought about my own accolades,' Oshie said. 'To be remembered (as a 'warrior' type of player) is a huge honor because that was my goal and the way I played the game.' NHL Sunshine Girls Sunshine Girls Editorial Cartoons Columnists
