Matthew Tkachuk has been in some hot water after he was seen taking the Stanley Cup into the salted waters of the Atlantic ocean, and he's now blaming his brother.

No matter how hard NHL players have worked to achieve their dreams of lifting the Stanley Cup, there are rules with the trophy that still need to be adhered to. Unfortunately for Matthew Tkachuk, he was seen taking the Cup into the Atlantic ocean, which is a big no no.

Matthew claims he had no idea that this was a rule, and then went on to pass the blame to his brother Brady, saying it was his idea that he should go celebrate with it in the ocean.

"We had nobody with us to say, �Matthew, don't be an idiot.'"

Matthew Tkachuk didn't know it was against the rules to take the Stanley Cup into the ocean. It also wasn't his idea, and he's making sure proper credit is given.

Matthew has stated that had his brother not told him to go in the water, he wouldn't have done it. I'm sure their father Keith, former NHL legend, has found this little bit of sibling quarrelling nothing new, as Brady and Matthew have had their fair share of sibling fights growing up together.

There is some good news in all of this, as Matthew did take the Cup to a St. Louis Hospital and let some of the sick kids enjoy some time with the coveted silverware.

How about this guy?

Matthew Tkachuk wins the Stanley Cup and brings it home to St. Louis to visit with kids at Children's Hospital.

The best.

It doesn't seem like Gary Bettman will be issuing any fines to Matthew for this behaviour, however you best believe that next year on the ice, Brady may have a heavy price to pay for how he just threw his brother under the bus.
