Player Discussion Brady Tkachuk (LW) - Part XI

[Tuna99]

Alfie is God

Brady is the 2nd Son

 

[Senovision]

Brady is third in the league at drawing other teams to take penalties. He does this by being such a hard player to compete against and he frustrates other teams into taking penalties and giving our team more powerplays.

HNIC showed a perfect example of the physical play this guy brings. Juulsen made a heavy hit on one of our guys and Brady took note and made sure to finish a hard check on Juulsen the next chance he got.

Such an important player for us since we don't have anyone who does that consistently

We also need a couple more guys to take the initiative and do that, as well. Can't leave it all to Brady.

Big mismatch in size.. I am impressed with how hard Garland plays

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Some of his backchecks are insane right now. The one where he knocked a guy down instead of just stick checking like normal people was chefs kiss lol.

Sens have trouble with physical teams, especially their defense which is more finesse than physical. Their 3rd and 4th lines do hit but nobody is a really heavy "banger". They do need another guy to compliment BT.

Ideally I'd like to have at least 4 forwards who throw decent hits and forecheck regularly. One on each line, and a couple of physical blueliners. Wear down opponents, and it also gives you a bit of a buffer if one or two of your physical guys are out with injury, that you still have a presence on the ice. They don't have to be pure crash and bang guys (obviously not on the top 6 anyways), but enough that opponents are always on the lookout for a hit.

I also remember when Jensen got leveled in the 3rd, Brady actually had the puck in the neutral zone, and the just stood there for an extra second, looking back and took a number down before moving the puck.

Brady sitting at +1. He can thank Pinto who got an assist in OT but no + because of the change after the possession win on the draw

Here are the hit stats for Sens, also looks like top 6 has more hits, but they also play more minutes.
