Similarly, in a Reddit post, the netizens took to the comments section to react to the brothers’ leg build difference. Mocking at Brady’s calf muscles and applauding Matthew’s, the reactions comprised a range of viewpoints.

Fans react to the Tkachuk brothers’ picture

As per the social news website’s update, on Wednesday, a star-studded NHL photo featured the Tkachuks. While most of them were geared up in hockey apparel and skates, Brady sported a somewhat casual look with his crocs. His brother, Matthew stood beside him in skates, yet the 23-year-old athlete towered over the most. Hence, fans took notice of the scenario and administered their reactions.

The following are some of them:

Comment from discussion [account deleted]’s comment from discussion "Brady definitely skips a leg day compared to his brother 😂".

Others commended the athlete’s physical aptitude, especially his 6’4” height. Some also questioned his crocs on the rink. The majority of the comments were focused on the fact that Matthew’s sturdy legs made his brothers look feeble.

However, the latter seemed taller even without skates. Similarly, fans once conflicted about an NHL decision related to one of the Tkachuks.

NHL fans disregard Matthew Tkachuk’s win

The league revealed the MVP winner of the 2023 all-star game in a previous Instagram post. As per sources, Dylan Larkin shot a hat trick yet couldn’t grab the label. The NHL rewarded Matthew Tkachuk with the most valuable player. Moreover, the fans weren’t pleased with the news and reacted to it under the post.
