Playoff Tkachuk

His nagging injury is a bit concerning but hopefully they are just being extremely cautious about it given the luxury of having already qualified.

Fingers cross he doesn't get injured trying to be a human cannon ball. Focus on scoring huge goals cuz its his greatest strength
 
This reminds me a lot of 2017, with Karlsson suffering what should have been a season ending injury so close to the start of the playoffs.

I understand it is not completely apples to apples, since Brady's original injury was sustained a the 4NF, then he suffered a different (apparently not as serious) injury.

He is going to go 150 percent, injured or not, and it will be glorious. Just enjoy the show.
 
This is not something that comes around that often in hockey.

We are lucky to have it playing for us in our building. Cannot wait.

Looks like the same exact Brady we saw most of this season. Haven't seen anywhere near the same Brady we saw at the 4N.
Honestly the 4N wasn’t that impressive. He was mostly a passenger and was just physical. We don’t have a AM34 to carry the load while Brady just focuses on hitting guys.
 
I think he has been fine

I liked him and Stuztle

Giroux is a black hole on that line

We need to put Z on the Stu line. Not because he is a top line player but it’s our best option if o zone win and Giroux can get off. This game we got destroyed in circle but hard to beat home team advantage. If
G wins draw and heads for bench we can get puck to late guy coming down Main Street.

Stuztle needs to be a mina faceoff guy on his line next year
 
Tkachuk is playing injured. He is not a 100%. Even then, he can be a difference maker.

Hope he gets better soon, the goal he scored last night is exactly the way Stu, Pinto, Batherson, and Cozens should score. Dirtier the better.

Greig and Amadio have been excellent, need Pinto to complete the picture and get that dominant 3rd line back. I hope referees are watching the abuse Greig takes. TML has a new owner named Ridley Greig. He is in their kitchen, in their bedroom, in their nightmares…they hate him with a passion. Love it!!! We should be able to get some powerplays at home with fan pressure on refs, Green really needs the team to practice both special teams, especially PP1 (shot execution) and PK1 and PK2 (replace Gaudette with Amadio or someone else).

They need to stop gaps in the middle of the ice. Focus on these basics, improve at home using home ice advantage wisely, and proceed to whop some TML ass.

Go Sens GO!
 
Tkachuk is injured, but even at 100%, he doesn't have Eichel and MTkachuk (two players that are better than him) on his lines. If you want to get the most out of BTkachuk, he isn't going to be the best player on that line.

Unless Stu is firing on all cylinders, Brady won't be a difference maker.

Bullshit lol.
 
People have been saying for years that Brady would dominate as soon as we made the playoffs. It's the common misconception that because a player is big and physical he'll be a great playoff performer.

But Matthew Tkachuk flopped his first few years in the playoffs and Keith Tkachuk never really figured it out. The speed of the playoffs is at another level and it takes hyper-focus and lightning quick processing of the game to excel in the playoffs; it's not just about being big and physical (eg. JGP, Point, etc.). I'm not saying that Brady doesn't have those other attributes (I think he has some of those elements to his game) but there might be a learning curve for him before he becomes the great playoff performer people just assumed he'd be right out of the gate.

Here's hoping he gets there sooner rather than later.

He is injured. The 4 nations was faster, we saw what a healthy version of him can do.
