Which Tkachuk brother is less hateable?

[McShogun99]

It’s easily Brady. He just plays a hard game and isn’t very dirty.

 

[NyQuil]

Brady because he can keep his mouth guard in his mouth while playing the game.

His mouth guard is out all the time.

 

[SensontheRush]

His mouth guard is out all the time.

But is he as bad as Chabot, who drops it on the ice during faceoffs?

 

[Auston Marlander]

Brady by a country mile. Still not a likeable guy, but he isn't a POS on the ice to the same degree.

 

[MasterDecoy]

Brady by far even though his face is arguably more a-holish

Hes old school ugly

 

[Devils090]

Brady

he looks like a complete tool but his brother is the one that acts like one. Good players the both of them though.

 

[swiftwin]

I don't recall Brady ever doing anything dirty besides jumping Laughton that one time.

He's just annoying and gets in your face in front of the net.

 

[The Nuge]

Does anyone even really hate Brady for any reason other than he’s Matthew’s brother? Brady is a hard nosed player, but he never really crosses the line. Matthew goes out there flat out trying to injure guys. I don’t even see how you can compare the two

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Brady can backup his toughness so him.

So when Matt Tkachuk fights after basically every little thing he does, that’s not backing it up?

 

[Bouboumaster]

Brady is an asshole but plays with an edge.
Matthew is the heir of Brad Marchand: he's trash lol

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

Brady is just more capable, he's bigger, stronger and meaner. Not a knock on Matthew, he's a fine player in his own right.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Brady.

Funny thing is it didn't even occur to me that Brady was that bad of a guy until this thread. I guess when you watch Matthew day in, day out everything isn't so bad by comparison

 

[nbwingsfan]

Both have some of the most punchable faces I've ever seen on people but Brady isn't as much of a rat on the ice at least.

 

[Snipes45]

EASILY Brady. He gets in tight in the crease area, might make a hit a little late sometimes, but I don't see him being a drama queen and doing those things all game. He plays the game right most of the time.

Brady is an angel compared to his brother

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Despite all their assholeness - they will never surpass Marchand

Yep. You can’t spell Brady without « Brad ».

 

[LMFAO]

Brady is a legitimate tough guy and will be one of the scariest player in the league sooner rather than later... Matthew on the other hand... lol

 

[Giant Panda]

Brady easily, Matthew is the far better player. One key thing I notice when Brady plays is that he lacks the foot speed of other first line players, Matthew doesn't have nearly that issue. Id like to think that if Brady was faster he'd be an equal pest to his big bro

 

[leafsfan2point0]

Brady is not even close to as predatory as Matthew from what I've seen. He seems like a hard nosed grinder who is well liked by his team. He actually seems like a nice guy in his interviews

 

[Voight]

Everyone "hates" them but would gladly take either of them on their team.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Brady, but only because his team sucks. If he was on a good team way more people would hate him.

bonus question... who plays more like Keith?

Honestly, Brady plays a lot more like Keith. And this is coming from a Jets fan who watched some old games of the Jets 1.0 because I was such a Teemu Selanne fan growing up.

 

[Lukin1978]

Whatever it takes to win the kind of player you hate on an opposing team but love on your favorite team.

 

[AvroArrow]

Brady quite easily. Hate them both but from what I've seen Brady isn't a complete POS like his brother. Still hate the guy, he makes dirty plays here and there but nowhere near Turtle's level.

 

[AvroArrow]

So when Matt Tkachuk fights after basically every little thing he does, that’s not backing it up?

No when Matt turtles or starts throwing punches before the other guy has a chance to drop the gloves, that's not backing it up. Nobody outside of Flames fans thinks he's tough, he's a dirty POS, there is a massive difference. I feel like that gets confused way too much now days. Not sure why, but people think being dirty is being tough for some weird reason. Jarome Iginla was tough, not Matthew Tkachuk.

didn’t he have the most fights in the league last year? lol is all I can say

and sorry I forgot Oilers fans think of toughness as a skate to the chest

Um, no. Not even close actually.
