Player Discussion Brady Tkachuk (LW) - Part XI

[aragorn]

All young players have questions to their game until they have solidified their position in the NHL & answered to those questions. Tkachuk had all kinds of questions to his game when he was drafted, half this board didn't want him & he has answered most of those questions especially on the offensive side.

Stutzle has been good & is becoming a dominate forward & Sanderson has quickly taken over as this team's #1 defenceman. They went out & got Ullmark a Vezina Trophy winner in goal, but due to injuries he has been slow in returning to form. They brought in Jensen to solidify their top 4 & added Mantipalo to round out the defence & give us a shutdown pair.

The forward group needs to be reworked especially the bottom six which has not been able to provide that secondary scoring (Pinto & Greig aside who IMO are trending in the right direction) when required on a more consistent basis. It's not that they are bad, it's that they don't rise to the occasion when required. I expect that Staois will go out again & look to improve this in the off season. Hopefully, he can add a piece at the trade deadline that can also be part of the future with this team.

Looking like Brady will probably be either sitting in the press box or playing injured for the rest of this season. Hope he enjoyed playing in that meaningless tournament because it might have just cost him another shot at the playoffs.

Hard to call the tournament meaningless



It’s as meaningful as anything when you consider this is a business and more people found this worth watching than the SCF.

It sucks for us but it is what it is. You’re also jumping to conclusions a bit here when it comes to his injury, although you’re probably right he’ll be playing hurt for awhile at this point.

Guaranteed you and others wouldn’t be saying this if he played for Canada.

Guarantee you I would be saying the exact same thing.

I heard Brady is on next episode.

Does he smoke weed everyday with Dre and Snoop or something?

lol what does that even mean, and have to do with Brady being on Chicklets.

So every guest that’s been on 400+ episodes now smokes weed, sure lol.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Sounds like he may be gone for a while.

Wonderful timing....

Check the last line of the lyrics of the song "the next episode" lol it's a pretty famous song with the famous line "heyyyyy...smoke weed everyday"

And the intro to the song is all about blazing it up.

Then you said he's on the next episode.

I thought it was a pretty easy/funny/light joke, but I could be wrong lol

Well this is getting ridiculous, isn't it?

Look, I respect this guys drive, what he showed during the Tournament was incredible, but we're f***ed if he's injured for any length of time. And as a fan of the Team first and foremost, that sucks.

Don't feel confident that he's playing tomorrow, when we go up against the top team in the league on a 10 game win streak.

At least Norris is looking like he's playing tomorrow - hopefully Pinto won't be long after. I feel better about our chances down the stretch having our 2 and 3 C's back in the mix. But if we look back at the end of the season and we're out of the dance, there's going to be a lot of finger pointing, and mine is going to be pointing straight at Brady for playing injured during the Tournament.

Yeah he's probably out for tomorrow. Saturday will be a big one in my eyes. I assume the Sharks aren't very good just looking at the standings, but if we lose to them with or without our captain. (Moreso with him in the line-up) I'll lose hope for a playoff push.
