Player Discussion Brady Tkachuk (LW) - Part XI

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Sloppy game for him until he totally redeemed himself with that beauty OT winner. Absolutely clutch.

Extremely sloppy game. He fumbled a pass that was a wide open net. He missed a couple passes to set up his teammates on breakaways and they were like not even close.

But thankfully made up for it. One thing Tkachuk doesn't lack in is confidence. Misses don't phase him at all, lol.

Well that's better than some of you wanting the Senators to lose so you can blame him.

You can infer that all you want, but no one criticizing Tkachuk wants the team to lose just so they can hop online and start berating him. That's some next-level nonsensical fantasy you're imagining.

I've been a big critic of him as the next guy, but want the team to win and if Tkachuk can be a driving force behind that win because he's playing a complete win, even better. If he builds on the things that he's being critiqued for, fans like myself will give credit where credit is due because we want this team to win, including everyone on the roster.

Funny you should respond to my post as it certainly wasn't directed at you. But you should go back and read the last 20 or so pages in this thread as a few posters have an irrational hate for this team's captain. And my statement was responding to a one of those people who wrote something ridiculous.

The Tkachuk criticism in this thread is disproportionate to his play on the ice. This is obvious to anyone that doesn’t have an odd dislike for one of our best players.

It drowns out the legitimate criticism and really this thread is borderline unreadable.

Maybe we should start a Brady Tkachuk Legit Criticism thread. We should be able to dislike posts so we can vote them off the island if they don't qualify.

People may forget the Spezza days but the fanbase has proved before it can love a guy and want him to stick around while also joking that his favourite breakfast is turnovers.

This is just that again.

Ottawa is still easily the most forgiving market in Canada. It's really not even close.

I just want to make it clear that Brady has played the same way from the start of the year until now.

Getting ahead of the inevitable “he’s backchecking and playing defence and now we are winning - that’s all I was ever asking for” bullshit.

anyone else think this?

notable difference for me, especially since he was put on Norris line.

way less cheating for offense, and overall much more defensive effort.

i mean this thread has a bunch of visual evidence of Brady floating or not wanting to backcheck, is sort of obvious when a player is doing it.

but last two weeks or so its been obvious Brady is tracking back a lot more. he's even had some standout multiple backchecks that were highlight reels in themselves, which definitely was not happening before.
