Last night in Kanata, Brady Tkachuk made his return to the Senators' home arena.

As you know, the former Senators captain asked to be traded after eight years with the team, and the team's fans didn't exactly take it well.

You can understand why.

Last night's game, in which the Sens dominated the Panthers (and Brady Tkachuk scored), saw fans boo a player in a way I've rarely seen before.

This meant that Sens fans—who aren't known as the best fans in the world due to their occasional lack of passion—earned some brownie points last night.

Because, in reality, it wasn't just that the fans booed Tkachuk—it was mainly that the quality of the insults went beyond mere booing of the player. That's what comes to mind this morning.

They were creative. And even though Tkachuk had every right to ask to be taken out, the fans had every right to tell him he was a coward for jumping ship.

All this to say that Brady Tkachuk, who has a reputation for not being the sharpest tool in the shed, was booed loudly from start to finish.

He was told to get lost, told he couldn't read, had people yell that he ate pencils, was asked who his father was, and saw his podcast ridiculed.

It's also worth noting that Tim Stutzle's personal chef (a player who wasn't at the restaurant dinner with Tkachuk on Tuesday night because he has a chef at home) also chimed in on Instagram.

He simply said that the Panthers player should have let him cook for him, too.
