Matthew Tkachuk's highly-anticipated return to Calgary was met with mixed emotion on Tuesday, as the Saddledome faithful gave it to the former Flames star all night long while also taking a moment to show him some love.
Not enough fans attended pregame warm-up to really gauge their reaction, but things escalated rather quickly off the opening face-off as Tkachuk was booed the second he touched the puck during his very first shift.
Tkachuk's first touch of the puck: he's greeted with boos.
Those boos continued to rain down during every one of Tkachuk's ensuing shifts, too.
