Mattew & Brady on Ovechkin & Crosby stories, tackling Derrick Henry & Thanksgiving memories | Wingmen
The Tkachuk brothers return with a Thanksgiving special full of hockey talk, family traditions, and plenty of laughs.
Brady shares an update on his recovery and return to play, while Matthew opens up about skating for the first time since surgery. The two dive into NHL standings, tough road trips, and memorable “Dad’s Trip” stories before taking on some classic Wingmen debates: whether turkey is overrated, who really dominates the taco, and if Brady could actually tackle Derrick Henry.
They also reflect on growing up watching Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin, with Brady recounting his private postgame jersey swap with Ovechkin. To close, Matthew names ASU football player Cam Skattebo as his Wingman of the Week, and Brady honors his trainer Dom Nicoletta for helping him get back on the ice.
