Player Discussion Brady Tkachuk (LW) - Part XI

[aragorn]

He should have 3 assists tonight, so should Giroux, why didn't they get an assist on Sanderson's goal? He will also get 20 goals plus this yr for the 4th time in his young career.

Tkachuk has been fine, he leads the team in goals, Stutzle on the other hand gives the puck away with reckless abandon & has been terrible. He has cost them numerous goals against especially at the worse times & single handedly lost them a number of games. It seems Jacques has had enough too putting Greig on the top line & demoting Stutzle to the 2nd line.

Both can be good, putting down one to prop up the other is silly. Tim has looked very good lately, driving his own line. Creating tons of chances and making the simple plays when needed more consistently.

Brady is playing his game in the offensive zone and keeping it simple in the defensive zone, which he needs to keep doing. His boardwork has been incredible thos season.

I think it's more weird that you paint an entire city and fanbase based off a few reactions.

It’s definitely not the whole fanbase, unfortunately it just happens to be the same group that never has anything better to do than take to grab pitchforks and take to social media.

Ah well, the kids will learn to stay off that trash and take in the love from the kids and parents that they actually interact with in person.

There are lots of fans that are decent people in here thankfully.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

He is so much better when he operates as a possession playmaker vs just forcing a shot every time.

Daddy Tkachuk is probably calling his kids soft for not having enough PIM

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Brady is typically 1st in Hits over all and 2nd in Hits/60 . The Hits/60 leader overtook him in total hits with an uptick in ice time over the past 15 games

Brady's production isn't bad over 15 games and especially not bad compared to the rest of the team.

Cry baby for openly sharing how he feels about fans booing his coach?

Thats some old school toxic masculinity right there folks.

The cry babies as you put it seem to be the fans who like to dish shit to everyone but freak out if the focus of their bullshit ever push back.

Think about what you’re saying, players should just shut the f*** up when asked, and fans should be free to say and do what they want. Fans who boo can get called out all day long for all I care. Don’t dish if you can’t take.

The irony is ridiculously rich on this one man.

The kids weren’t crying, nor pouting, nor not buying in to what Martin and Alfie are saying, or any of that crap. That’s fan fiction bullshit as usual.

I watched that game and post-game interview. The fans chanted "Fire DJ" but also booed the team when they where skating around the rink after the game. In his post-game interview, he was talking about the fans booing the team, saying "it's bs, we're working really hard out there" or something to that effect. I believe it was an earlier game when he defended the coach in his post-game interview as the Fire DJ chants had been happening for awhile. Booing the team was new.

Stop fighting. Let others like MacEwen/Kastelic do that shit.

Things seemed to change after the fight. Why give NYR that energy to attack our #1 C and then remove or #1 LW from the game.
Was the TSN turning point. Sens did not handle it well

 

[h2]

Yeah, I'm a huge Tkachuk fan, but I don't want him fighting anymore.

He sucks at picking the right time, and he's too valuable to lose to a 4th line/3rd pairing scrub callup.

This is where Tkachuk needs to be smarter. Rangers were looking for a momentum change and Brady gave it to them. This is also where the vets come in and stabilize things and get into his ear a bit and keep him on a more even keel.

Brady has a lot of passion and zest for leading by the cuff, but he has to learn how to temper it and use it better. Hone it and use it tactfully like a scalpel, instead of a club to bash everything with it.

TSN was not the broadcaster last night, it was SN1

Well it would help if guys like Stutzle, Norris Chabot and Batherson actually played with some edge rather than kittens. Brady is the only guy in the top six that plays with any jam at all and I think he is used to being the only guy with any pushback..

Yes, they definitely need mature, as well. Stu needs to stop flopping and whining, and get tougher. Dude has the frame to be more physical and stay on his feet better. Same with Bath.

Norris and Chabot...those two I'm not so sure about. Both need to get stronger both physically and mentally. Not sure if that will ever happen.

TSN1200 broadcast - call me old school but I like a nice radio call in the background when I got stuff to do (like surf Hockeydb looking for trades and prospects)

Call me new school then , I prefer to watch the game, and surf internet when the team is not playing.

i don’t mind listening to the pregame show, while preparing dinner, and during dinner.

Ay least we see some serious compete from Greig and to a lesser extent Pinto. Can't be just 1 or 2 guys getting after it.

Greig has been much quieter last few games. Last game was one where we really need to see his disruptiveness more.

They're also the two guys who haven't gotten their BIG second contract yet.

Stutzle was run twice, whether clean or not.

It is not Brady's fault that his team did not respond, and I don't blame him for the loss. Fact is he even won the fight. Brady did not let thos horrific goals in either

 

[DueDiligence]

Brady certainly is not a great skater, he's an OK playmaker and goal scorer and his defensive game although better still needs work. And after the DJ move he didn't play well. But in the last 10 games or so he's been better than ever. He's starting to play a 200 foot game plus the guy is a frigging warrior that will fearlessly lead his team into battle every night. He loves the dirty work, the physical play and will protect and defend all his teammates. There's a reason why ex players and coaches gush about this guy. He's unique.
