Player Discussion Brady Tkachuk (LW) - Part XI

BonHoonLayneCornell said:
The only concern I have is I don't think we get that grace when the shoe is on the other foot, so you're giving the other team an advantage by being overly sportsmanlike. Not saying he should have handled it differently, but I don't think it's a rat thing. I'd bet 99% of players would have skated to the bench and chuckled to themselves.

Well, he probably avoided getting fined for embellishment the way Norris did, so there's that. Saved himself 2k and we still won the game.

I don't think he gets fined, it’s hard to even see that it actually misses in video.
If Brady hadn’t said it missed, I wouldn’t of known from replay.
Everyone knows that’s a natural reaction, when a stick is that close.

The play Norris got fined on looked like he just got tripped up as he tried to role around the Det defender.

Wrt Brady, it's not the initial reaction pulling his head back, it's the glove to his face, I think they'd see that as embellishment even if it was a natural reaction, sens don't get the benefit of the doubt too often.

Guess we can disagree on a fine being issued then.

Tkachuk praised for calling off high stick as a gesture of sportsmanship.

His defensive play has been pretty strong recently. The offense will come.

I don't even think it's the lack of offense that is upsetting me, it's the decision making with the puck. Most plays literally die on his stick and especially in cycles. If ANYONE is supposed to be effective at cycling it's him. The way Matthew is. But so many 1 and done plays in offensive zone the moment Tkachuk touches the puck.

I too hope that will also be fixed and have seen it in the past become addressed. It's almost like he has too much confidence with the puck. He doesn't play to his limitations as a power forward sniper, he tries to exceed them as a dangling skating wizard.

I agree that he gave up some bad ones against Boston. But that's the only game I can think of recently where he's been really bad. I think our PP overall has been bad recently and Tkachuk sticks out whenever he's on the PP, because if he takes a shot or make a terrible pass, there has been no second or third efforts by the rest of our team to crash for the puck. I also believe he needs to make better decisions in the offensive zone, on the PP or five v five. But that could also be said for a lot of the players. Stü made some stinky bad passes versus Boston, but he made up for it with offense. It's easy to forget when they are producing goals.

I think he just has too many and too long dips in his play. He has the tools to contribute when he is not scoring. And he has to simplify his game to get rid of some of the mistakes.

Brady has not got a point in his last 10 games.
I looked back at the 4 previous seasons and he had one 4 game pointless streak in each season.
In his second season he had a 6 game pointless streak.
His longest pointless streak before this one was 8 games during his rookie season 2018-2019.

Phew......... finally Brady gets not only a point, but a key goal for us to take a 3 to 1 lead over Utah in game 11 of his pointless drought!
Love hearing the crowd chanting Brady Brady Brady! Awesome!
Go Sens Go!
 
After all the doom & gloom on here the team is tied for 4th spot in the division the best record they have had in yrs & in a playoff spot. They are playing much better defensively & have cut down on the goals against something that has been desperately needed on this team for yrs. Nice to see some of the guys end their slumps this afternoon too. Nice crowd at the arena tonight & it was nice to see the Brady chants go up a couple of times.

Tkachuk passed Heatley for 5th all time in goals scored by a Senator. He's 8 away from passing Hossa. If he scores 70 more goals he'll be 2nd all time which is definitely happening if he stays here for 2 more seasons.

C'mon Tkachuk, pass Hossa sooner than later!

Tkachuk just keeps breaking more & more Sens records at an earlier age than most of those who held them. Unbelievable how good this guy has been for this franchise & leads by example.

Taking pride in your defensive game was a big turn around for the young core

I think Green's biggest evidence of this is Chabot's reformed game.

Yes, having a stable partner for the first time since Demelo is a significant marker of this as well, but Chabot's very reliable 2 way game now is indicative to Green's impact on veterans and the effective systems that really are getting the best of our guys.

When I see Chabot now, I am reminded heavily of Bouwmeester, someone who Chabot was compared to heading into the draft. A smooth skating big defender who utilizes his timing and skating towards breakouts and smart stick positioning.

I can't explain Chabot's completely shot offensive game, but, like the rest of the team, I am hoping that will come once they make routine the defensive efforts.

naa its 100 percent Brady's game. Chabot at least always cared about being a good defensive player.

Brady was allergic to even thinking about defense let alone playing it. Huge difference now.

lol plausible, I agree I have been rather abrasive.

but equally plausible they noped out after seeing the vitriol i got for saying Brady will be a 60 pt player who can hit 70 in peak seasons, or that perhaps we should wait for Brady to actually have an elite season (even just an elite run of play) before making him the highest paid Senator in franchise history. Even though I'm sure those were the viewpoints of the majority here.

anyway i will stop posting in Brady threads. not worth people putting words in your mouth as "payback".

I see him as a Tyler Boucher-lite but he’s having a great season so far despite no training camp.
