While David Pastrnak is not known for his pugilistic abilities, he wasn’t about to back down from a challenge.But it seems David Pastrnak got more than he bargained for. Pastrnak stated the following as he recalled fighting Tkachuk:"You know, he was barking. I felt like if I had fought him, it’s gonna juice them up, or I will give them something to, you know what I mean, to bark about," Pastrnak said.At first, it seemed like Pastrnak didn’t want to go toe-to-toe, but then he changed his mind about the altercation:"He was saying the whole time, I said, 'Let’s do it at home, next game, for a shift.' And he said, 'Yes.' Then he came back to the bench and he’s like, 'No, we’re doing it right now.' I was gonna go so aggressive, but then I remembered as I was jumping over the board, the coach goes, 'Be careful, he’s gonna come in hot," Pastrnak said.Once David Pastrnak was ready to go, the following thoughts came to his mind:"So I was gonna wait for the first punch, and I was going to dodge it, which I did. But man, beats, I had no idea how hard it is to keep the balance, you know? It’s crazy because once I dodged the first punch, I was all off balance, and yeah, it’s too bad," Pastrnak said.Both combatants put up a good fight, giving the fans plenty to cheer about. David Pastrnak concluded his recollections by stating:"But honestly, I’m happy I did it. I think it was a good juice-up."Pasternak and the Bruins put up a good fight but were eventually eliminated by the Panthers in the playoffs.
