Player Discussion Brady Tkachuk (LW) - Part XI

[Tuna99]

2023 - 2024 Sens MVP:

1. Brady Tkachuk
2. Jake Sanderson
3. Claude Giroux
4. Shane Pinto
5. Mathieu Joseph

I’d give Batherson the 3 spot, he had a good season

I completely forgot about Batherson, I agree & will change it. Giroux is amazing given his age & has done everything we could hope for with this young team.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I completely forgot about Batherson, I agree & will change it.

Zub deserves an honourable mention too, imo. Those are the 7 guys who were consistently impactful and up to standard.

 

[Dan Patrick]

Brady named captain of the USA squad at the WC. Lets go captain Tkachuk!

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Brady named captain of the USA squad at the WC. Lets go captain Tkachuk!

Much better than seeing him in the crowd cheering on a divisional rival.

 

[DJB]

But I thought I was told in here that Brady is a bad captain and should be replaced ?

How can he possibly be named captain of another team now representing some of the best in the US?

Look I'm happy The Tkaptain gets to kill it at the worlds, but look at the USA roster:
-Gavin Brindley
-Will Smith
-Alex Nedeljkovic
-Brock Nelson
-Ryan Leonard
-Kevin Hayes
-Mikey Eyssimont
-Jeff Petry
-Michael Kesselring
-Matthew Kessel
-Trey Augustine
-Matt Boldy
-Cole Caufield
-Joel Farabee
-Johnny Gaudreau
-Luke Hughes
-Seth Jones
-Luke Kunin
-Alex Lyon
-Shane Pinto
-Jake Sanderson
-Brady Tkachuk
-Alex Vlasic
-Zach Werenski
-Trevor Zegras

Aside from Jones, Nelson or Hayes, there's slim pickings for even A's. The bolded are the only players that probably make a fully healthy/available USA Roster.

If Larkin, Miller, AM34, MTkachuk, Hughes, Trochek, Fox, Eichel, Pavelski, McAvoy or Kane are on the roster, Brady doesn't even get an A.

But there are not, making a point of something that's hypothetical makes no sense, you go with what you have. There are several veteran & respectable NHL players who could have had it but they gave it to him. Petry, Nelson, Gadreau, Vlasic are all good NHL vets.

It's sad the depth some will go to to put someone down.

Being named captain of a team representing your country is an honour....in any sport

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Alfredsson's leadership was questioned earlier in his career. It's just the nature of things.

Lol, that's quite the roster for a supposed "World Championship".

What does winning this even mean? It's not best on best, and it's not limited to age or level of play, it's just a completely Random group of players playing random other groups of players. I don't get it.

*This has nothing to do with Tkachuk, just me wondering how there's any interest in a tournament like this.

I mean, yeah that roster is pretty stinky, but who cares? Good for Brady getting to be captain of his country's national team.

As for being a GOOD captain? Well the proof is in the pudding. Good leaders win games, great leaders win championships. Hopefully Brady gets there. Until we start making the playoffs there is not much to say about his leadership.

You’re right there is always a portion of the fans that are total morons. Make the rest of us look bad.

I think it means a lot to them

That blows my mind. I don't get it. Not one little bit.

I don't see how it holds any more significance than a Spengler Cup, or any other forgotten tournament. The title "World Championship" seems hokey to me.

That said, don't mean to criticize. Humans enjoying something is nothing to be mad about, I just fail to see the significance myself.

You are too special. For what ever reason you need to constantly diminish the accomplishments of the captain of your favorite team. Strange but then again I remember a post a few months ago where your claimed captain pajama boy was far superior to BT.

I think that is just adversity that you have to overcome. People disagree. Etc.

What kind of leader is needed to convince our goalies to stop a beach ball?

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

I think that is an exaggeration. If hockey was played with actual beach balls, the games would always be 0-0. I find it very unlikely that Korpisalo or Forsberg couldn't stop one, because it is so big relative to the open space a goalie allows in the net.

Hey bud just google it those are real photos of when Sweden won the gold medal 2018 and Finland in 2022. Imao

By 5 or 6 loud people who are clueless. Doesn't mean a anything. Destroys their credibility in general

Not only that but the other people now shitting on the tournament. That's the internet though ignorance and engagement. Then people act like they're better than the moment or the person theyre shaming for some sense of 'moral' accomplishment or superiority.

The WHC is an unbelievable hockey event hosted in Europe that has tremendous prestige and is rich in history. I've never been but I'd like to. When it's hosted in eastern Europe it's quite the event. It's very good hockey, mixture of players from all the top pro leagues including the NHL. Which people in Europe don't get to see live. Classic HF mentality to degrade hockey players. All the guys participating in this are likely better at hockey then anything anyone else here does in life.

That roster is stinky?.... It would probably compete for a cup. Way better than the sens.

People seem to be judging the roster by offseason tournament standards, I think it's solid for a roster during NHL playoffs.
