Player Discussion Brady Tkachuk (LW) - Part XI

[Golden_Jet]

Everybody did

"Ottawa Senators fans should feel good about the fact that there's a salary cap floor they are required to spend to"

Ya there has been a floor for 20 years now.

Ya there has been a floor for 20 years now.

Lol, I was poking fun at Nick Rutkowski's legendary quote getting Sens fans pumped up on radio!

You couldn't handle PR worse than they did if you tried.

Ironically, that was the year they had the most faux cap and were spending well below the floor in real dollars.

Montreal picking Svechnikov over Brady has become a franchise changing decision, for both theirs and ours.

Svechnikov was picked by Carolina and has been a pretty damn good player for them, albeit not Brady.

You're thinking kotkaniemi

It's amazing all the records Brady is breaking with the Sens, it doesn't seem like he has been around long enough to acquire all these records.

 

[slamigo]

I’m over my 4nations annoyance. Brady is killing it out there.

 

[bicboi64]

He's hurt af and trying out there, but he's not as effective when he's not moving and skating as much.

Having said that, can we change the captain to a centre? He was a beast on the dot against Buffalo along with Giroux and Pinto. Dude won at least 10 faceoffs.

 

[CorrectOpinion]

Do you guys realize how cool it is that we are about to watch Brady play his first playoff games as a Senator? Holy shit.

 

[SensFactor]

We need a 100% healthy Brady for the playoffs. Hopefully, we clinch sooner rather than later so he can get some rest on that hip flexor.

 

[Icelevel]

Someone tell us he's ok please. Do we know if it's concussion related?

 

[PlayOn]

They brought on Chris Johnston during the intermission and he said it’s not serious. He’s day to day but basically said the Sens aren’t worried.

Then again he’s clearly still hurting from Four Nations so who knows how healthy he’ll be when he does come back. I think all we can really deduce is he’ll be in the lineup soon enough, whether he’ll actually be healthy is a whole other discussion.

 

[Ouroboros]

They should let him sit until they get into a must-win scenario.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Officially concerned

 

[umma gumma]

Now he won't see out the season? Does he even want to be here? Strip the C already.

 

[NyQuil]

This reminds me of previous injury estimates in Ottawa that seem to keep dragging on.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

It’s probably a mix of his latest injury (concussion?), 4 Nations injury, the hip injury and whatever else he’s dealing with.

He’s not missing the opening game of the playoffs. It’s Brady Tkachuk lol

 

[Sensrule]

I'm a little concerned too. I have this gut feeling that he'll miss a game or two in our series opener before returning for game 3. Hope I'm wrong though. On the flip side, I guess it's best that he gets as much rest as possible before the playoffs start. I think when we last faced the Habs, the commentators said he had ZERO hits which is hard to believe.
