Dolphins: Won't lose a game for another 2.5 months

Brady Tkachuk on how the Four Nations Face-Off and 2026 Olympics factored into his decision to join the Florida Panthers:

"I mean it definitely started that at Four Nations, because at that time I never played in a playoff game and those big games that just, the best way I can describe it is I just got addicted to those feelings of getting up and that nervous excitement, that little anxiety you get going into the game of, holy cow, this is a big game. And then it kind of translated to that first playoff run [in 2025] and then to the Olympics where that Olympic final was the biggest game that I've ever played to date. And just not realizing the impact that it would have on our lives. Those are the games you want to play in and those are the games that you dream about as a kid. And that's where team legacies are created in those games and that's something that really excited me about coming to this group and coming to this team. This organization that they've been there, they've seen that, they have the experience, and I think they're the most confident group of guys in those situations. So just to be able to learn and be a part of that was something that really excited me too."

"I can't believe it's real. It's been amazing."
