Player Discussion Brady Tkachuk (LW) - Part XI

[Senovision]

Has he not watched the playoffs before?

Yes but obviously he has but not like this, up close and personal with a family member his brother, this is a completely new experience! What a great experience!

 

[Senovision]

Come on man. We're all watching the same games here. Wouldn't say I'm learning about what it takes.

So you are saying that watching a game on tv is exactly the same experience as being in the arena and watching a game?
I disagree with you on that.

It's more entertaining at the games sure.

 

[Senovision]

It's more entertaining at the games sure.

But Brady is getting the inside scoop on everything from his brother by being at the games, it is much better for Brady to be at these games than watching from his couch. You also pick up more of the atmosphere of the game intensity when you are at the building. Plus having a family member especially his brother talking to him I think will be good for Brady, as opposed to not having a family member playing this far into the playoffs. These players are all students of the game, Brady is a student of the game and learning all kinds of things like I mentioned.

Dude what

 

[Senovision]

Dude what

What do you not understand?

 

[Senscore]

What do you not understand?

How you came to the conclusion that Brady drinking beers with his dad in the stands watching his brother play will make him a better player in the playoffs for the Sens, if the team ever gets there, which at the very soonest would be an entire year from now.

 

[Senovision]

So Senscore you have posted that you believe that people do not learn things from their experiences?
I believe that people do learn from experiences.

He's experiencing a box seat right now.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

It's just a guy watching playoff games who happens to be privileged enough to hang with celebrities.

It's not good. It's not bad. It's a big ball of nothing.

 

[Senovision]

People will always learn something from experiences.

 

[Sun God Nika]

I agree that being around that atmosphere is good for Brady, and you know internally right now his competitive urges are telling him there is no other option than playoffs next year.

But for the most part he is just watching his brother play hockey lets not treat this like he in the hyperbolic time chamber and is developing into another player.

Maybe you should pay closer attention?...

He doesn't need to be another player but this Florida team plays a selfless game. There are certainly quite a few players on this team that I hope are paying attention. They also hang on to the puck really well. If guys aren't watching then how will they know how to adjust their games. I don't see any fancy stuff at any of the blue lines with this Florida team for example. The best lessons will be through experience however it's not like you can't take something from this.

The Hurricanes were scared, the Leaves couldn’t/weren’t willing to go there physically.

Hurricanes were so scared of Gudas that Gudas might as well of been walking around with an ax.

Sam Bennet is the best after the whistle 3rd man into the pileup since Theo Fluery.

Of the take-aways from Florida besides their forecheck is how many detestable players they have on their team who are amazing at their jobs compared to everyone else - Tkachuk, Bennet, Lomberg, Guda, Cousins

Ottawa missed Formenton, we need a two handed hacker on the blue line and they need a player like Bennet who joins in with Brady after the whistle and gets under people’s skin. Ottawa needs more savages, we’ve only got 2 - Kastelic and Brady - need to get that number up to 5

 

[DJB]

Tight room didn't stop them from all the years of giveaways in the dzone, missed assignments, weak entries, 0 ability to cycle the puck and maintain possession, etc.

That’s called coaching not partying dude

 

[GoSenatorsGo]

The Tkachuk brothers come off not only as very close and supportive of one another but also extremely competitive.

One would have to think seeing Matthew make it to the finals will do nothing but motivate Brady to get there.

For a captain I've never seen someone get babied quite like Brady does.

 

[Adrianopolous]

I feel like we got the crappier brother. Matthew is much better offensively and defensively (Brady is awful at D).

 

[maclean]

Let's not forget their father is a legend and is sure to be talking to Matthew about the games, conversations to which Brady is certainly present and involved. The experience for him is more than just a good view and it's one of the reasons I'm glad Florida has got as deep as they have.

You have no idea what you are looking at.

 

[BondraTime]

I don’t think Florida going deep and Brady being around that does anything for Brady moving forward in the respect of teaching him anything about the game or how to win or how to play. Brady is a pro, he knows what to do, getting it done is another beast completely, and it takes more than one captain doing it.

Him being there is awesome. He’s an early 20’s guy with millions of dollars, having fun with family and friends watching his brother put up a story book playoffs. Him having fun is great, he’s a hockey fan, who likes to put a few down with his friends. What better place to do that than an arena where your brother is playing the hero night in, night out. Of course being a 23 year old multi millionaire athlete will bring other young millionaire athletes and attention, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Well, we'll find out in October if Brady learned anything.

Sens better fly out of the gate this fall.

Agreed. There is a lot of learning and gathering of knowledge that will bode well for Brady.
Keith and Matthew and Brady will be having a lot of good discussions and learning experiences and growth.

Matt needs to tell Brady how to get a goalie to put up a .966 in the ECFs.
