Player Discussion Brady Tkachuk (LW) - Part XI

[Loach]

this isn't a good excuse for year 7 of the rebuild. 461 games he has played and we are talking about how he needs to mature off the most basic of concepts.

with that said I would love for Brady to prove me wrong and backcheck and actually play like a captain. really all i want.

Same for Chabot right?

He said it himself, the way he wears his emotions is his biggest strength and biggest flaw. When it works he gets his teammates and a crowd of 18k going, and other nights you get the mess against Vancouver. He has to learn exactly when to channel it and at 25 that is easier said than done.

It’s not maturing based off the most basic concepts, it’s just reality. The other day I saw a fan say something like “Sens are losing and they’re laughing on the bench, they don’t give a f***” - I promise you if Brady was mellowed out, people would be pissed about that too.

Same for Chabot, same for all the players.

These guys got paid generational wealth to WIN, up front. They have to give results now. It's not being unreasonable to expect results, maturity and improvement.

And honestly the playoffs should have been a lay up this year. instead the team has to make a buzzer 3 point shot to get in.
