Tyler Bertuzzi makes hilarious statement by scaring Matthew Tkachuk

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers are now fierce rivals, and in their latest game, Tyler Bertuzzi scared tough guy Matthew Tkachuk in a hilarious way.

The Maple Leafs had a chance to pick up a win and make a difference in their playoff opponent when they played the Florida Panthers, but most of all, it was a chance to make a statement. While it was the Panthers that came out on top, forcing the Maple Leafs into a round one clash with the Boston Bruins, they certainly made a different statement.

During a scrum, Tyler Bertuzzi got into a pushing match with Matthew Tkachuk, and in a hilarious turn of events, he made the Panthers star flinch. While this moment alone may not give the Maple Leafs an advantage over the Panthers, it was just one example of how this team will no longer be pushed around.

During another scrum, the Maple Leafs showed that they won't be taking a backwards step anymore, and with Ryan Reaves leading the way, it's safe to say that they won't be an easy team to battle in the playoffs anymore.
