Player Discussion Brady Tkachuk (LW) - Part XI

[Tuna99]

At this point you need to start thinking about Brady’s motivation to play in this market, something has to be going on.

he can barely do press conferences this week, he can’t control his emotions or his game, Brady maturity and compete are so far below a championship level

Guarantee you he back checks every shift in the 4 nations and never lacks for discipline. Brady has it in him, he just won’t do it for Senators fans. He’ll sign your jersey, he just won’t back check in it

Sometimes I think Brady is getting coached from outside the organization.

Brady wants to be loved, and he knows he’s got one foot out the door, and that’s why he’s acting like a child, because he knows he’s not being honest in his game or with the fans.

All this immaturity and temper tantrums he’s having is because he knows he wants out, and hes stressed he will be disliked and the bad guy like Heatley, so he’s putting on this big emotional show so when he leaves he feels we understand the frustration and how unhealthy it is for him to be in Ottawa, he’s going to pretend it’s the losing, when he won’t back check to win.

This is sad that our Captain needs a day off after 16 games into a turn around season. It’s an act, have you ever seen a more immature athlete here besides Emery?

I'm focused on Brady because he is the worst offender and he is the captain. If he was some 6mill player with no letter I wouldn't be focused so much. He would be another Batherson.

But it is the same logic as putting blame on Melnyk and Dorion. Things get rotten from the top down.

Brady is the captain and does not act or play like a winning captain.

Disagree

Lol team had a different energy after he got kicked out i know all you guys felt it.

Yep they finally scored a couple of goals.
Hope that propels them Monday.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

They should healthy scratch Brady just to see what happens, or make an injury excuse.

I bet the tean plays different, more cohesive, better.

More like a group of guys all trying to accomplish one thing.

Sens at home for 1 more game so expect the rumours to be quiet, then they go out West cost for a week so expect a big American source to start the “hearing rumblings on a Brady trade” rumours to begin.

Keith was stripped of his Captaincy in Winnipeg for requesting a trade, won’t go that far with Brady, but there is a history there and the Tkachuks get what they want.

I like how the media loves Keith. He asked for new contracts, trade and did fck all in the playoffs. Made the conference final in StL the year he was traded there halfway through the season. Made noise everywhere he went and didn't deliver. Matt did the same in Calgary, I'm curious who keeping him in check in Florida.

Matthew doesn’t seem to care if people like him, Brady does.

Matthew embraces the bad guy roll, Brady does not.

Brady wants everyone to like him, that’s why he cheats for goals. Brady plays hockey for the cheers, Matthew plays hockey for the emotion.

Brady can’t Channel his emotion, Matthew can.

They’ve already been setting up Brady as the fall guy since last year. Alluding to rifts in the locker room between him and Giroux, Chychrun not meshing with the guys. Even down to Staios only ever talking about the mental reasons this team sucks when it’s clear it’s not strictly mental - there are issues with the roster itself too.

It’s all leading to a “Brady needs to go” conclusion. Unlike a lot of the takes in this thread though, I don’t really blame Brady. He wasn’t put in an organization that was conducive to growth. He does it to himself in some ways, last night was an example of that, but we’ve seen this narrative before.

Star gets traded, star had character issues. The Ottawa Senators though… never their fault. It’s just that everyone wants to leave them, evil players.

Dude held out for a contract that came with the "C". Showed up in the middle of a game to announce it on a balcony to a full arena chanting his name. A couple years later gives it to the fans for booing and picking on DJ. Has a big sulk when DJ is fired. He's doing it to himself. Agree he wasn't properly insulated. We should have kept Stone.

I don't blame him either, 8 years no playoffs and any player deserves to move on.

But I do think he should back check until that day comes.

That seems to be a phenomenon in here. Bad calls from refs, injuries, etc. are crutches that are used frequently, at least by some.

Another part of the trend is to find a villain amongst our star/better players. It happened with Chara (he was greedy and wouldn’t accept the $6m), Spezza, Zibanejad (didn’t train hard enough in the off season) and even Alfie for some time (wasn’t a player you could win with so trade him).
