Tkachuk suckers Moser and then wimps out when Hedman comes calling

Stop me if you've heard this one before, but Florida Panthers Matthew Tkachuk is being accused of being a coward.

Go figure...

With tempers flaring between Tkachuk's Panthers and their Florida rival Tampa Bay Lightning, Tkachuk decided to take a cheap shot at Lightning defenseman JJ Moser.

Tkachuk lands a few quick shots before Lightning captain Victor Hedman steps in to bully him and put a stop to things.

Check it out:

LOL I love how Tkachuk tries to back out and then he suddenly gets tough once again once there's an official between him and Hedman. He's the toughest guy in the NHL when a ref is holding back his opponent...
