Last night the Edmonton Oilers kept their season alive with a win against the Florida Panthers and now a new clip from the game has fans furious at a Panthers star.

During last night's Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals, a brawl broke out between the two teams. During this brawl star players for both teams were on the ice including Matthew Tkachuk and Connor McDavid. At one point Matthew Tkachuk put Connor McDavid in a headlock and punched him in the head several times.

Matthew Tkachuk gets Connor McDavid in a headlock and throws three sneaky uppercuts on him. That's why he's not liked much by #Oilers fans. Different uniform, same antics

This clip of Matthew Tkachuk teeing off on Connor McDavid ended up making its way around social media causing a lot of controversy.

Fans debate over whether or not punches thrown by Matthew Tkachuk were dirty

The clip shows Matthew Tkachuk clearly punching Connor McDavid in the head as referees try to separate them. These actions by Matthew Tkachuk have caused Oilers fans to reignite their dislike for him.

This is why nobody respects this clown!

That wasn't the only time during the game that Tkachuk pummeled McDavid in a prone position with multiple punches. The NHL needs to take serious action.

In the replies several other fans came to the defense of Matthew Tkachuk.

its hockey my guy....everyone has a problem when its the great and wonderful and oh so powerful mcjesus. give it a rest, fighting is a part of hockey

Maybe his teammate shouldn't have been spearing the goaltender. Oilers fans whine a lot. Never knew it

Matthew Tkachuk was ultimately not penalized for this play. However, Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers would get the last laugh winning 8-1. Heading into Game 5 it will be interesting to see if Matthew Tkachuk has to answer for going after Connor McDavid.
