FULL Brady Tkachuk Interview | 32 Thoughts
#NHL #Hockey #Podcast
Phony
Guy is a clown and I’m not even a sens fan. Guy will forever be in his brothers shadow and it’s really pathetic
Not sure who this interview is for? I’m not even a sens fan and I would assume that they want no part of this clown anymore. Ottawa gave him his chance to start in the NHL and was the only reason why he was there. He couldn’t wait to leave. His kids were born in Canada and I guarantee you he will not call them Canadian going forward.
If you want to know first hand what the saying "lying through your teeth" means, watch this video.
I know it's not a popular opinion, but I don't blame any player who takes control of their career. For too long, NHL players had no power in where they play.
I’m happy he left this this guy doesn’t care about the city of Ottawa or his team. He just wants to play with an American team and his brother
Did you record this on an airplane?🔊🔊🔊🔊
Why give him more screen time
this guy can think of 32 thoughts??????
Simply doesn’t want to be in Canada, can’t hold that against him.
There's no way this guy has ever had 32 thoughts..
Not everyone is cut out to be a leader. When he was out for a couple months last season due to injury It was remarkable how unaffected the sens were. they played very well and had a decent record despite not having their captain and pretty sub par goal tending. They would have made the playoffs with or without him. As a captain I don’t think Brady had the impact on his team that he should have as captain. He was a productive player sure but he was no Karlsson or Alfredsson. Leading your team in fights and penalty minutes is not really leadership. With that being said many people who arnt even sens fans are dog piling on this dude and it’s pathetic He’s his own guy with his own life. I believe he’s sincere in saying he gave it his all. Just wasn’t able to deliver the goods leadership wise. He is not the leader we need and there’s nothing wrong with changing things up. Sens got a decent amount of draft capital for him so we have no reason to be bitter. He also wished the city of Ottawa well so we should wish him well.
October 21st Brady in Ottawa we are waiting for you the Sens fans will have their thoughts lol
Good for Tkachuk, left that poverty organization for a great team. I totally forgot Ottawa even had a team, irrelevant franchise
So many words. So little meaning.
Honestly, it drives me nuts when Brady keeps talking about how much he “loves Ottawa” and how special it is to him — because if that were really true, why didn’t he ever push Mathew to come here? If playing with his brother is such a big dream, and Ottawa was supposedly this amazing place he adored, then where was that energy when Mathew was actually available? It feels like he’s saying one thing now, but his actions never matched it. It comes off like pure PR fluff, and I’m tired of pretending it makes sense.
Dude, at least try for two more years to get your own team a cup not Matthews team
Good thing this was a face to face interview because it doesn't look like his chaperone is there to read his texts and emails out loud for him
Would be funny if he came back in two years
Buncha sore 'Canadians' in these comments (they're probably not actually Canadian, but I digress).
Ten years of T̶r̶u̶d̶e̶a̶u̶ CASTRO jr. has done irreparable damage to the country, to the point Canadian franchises can no longer retain great American-born hockey players.
diVeRsiTy iS 0uR sTrEngTh lol sure bud. How many s.assaults occurred during the summer in OTT alone? It's ironic the comments that purport Brady as being less intelligent when the buffoons commenting are literally too stupid to understand what's occurring around them. And WHY it's occurring.
This guy has turned out to be such a loser. I don't even care about Ottawa or the Senators or the Panthers. He's just such an empty headed loser. This guy's a dad? Jeepers.
full interview is 5 minutes. max attention span for brady?
