The
NHL Players' Association has filed a grievance on behalf
of Keith Tkachuk after the star winger was suspended
Friday by the St. Louis Blues for failing his team physical.
NHLPA spokesman Jonathan Weatherdon said Monday the
union filed the grievance the same day as the suspension.
The 33-year-old power winger is the second-highest paid
player in the NHL at $7.6 million US, tied with Nicklas
Lidstrom and Alexei Yashin behind Jaromir Jagr's $8.36
million.
If you ask me about Tkachuk I'd
say he's lost his weights and replaced them with Krispy
Kremes. "DUDE IS FAT". You
had 1 year to get into shape for hockey season you lard
ass. Now buckle up and lets see you get ready for October
5th man. NHLPA spokesman Jonathan Weatherdon said Monday
the union filed the grievance the same day as the suspension.
"We have disagreed with the suspension and are
continuing to work at resolving it," Tkachuk's
agent, Bob Murray, said Monday from Boston. "Hopefully
we can find a quick and amicable resolution." Blues
general manager Larry Pleau had little to add Monday.
