Always in battle, there are pagans and bad guys. This is not so different in hockey, and the captain of the senators, Brady Tkachuk, loves the role of naughty, hating in 31 city, but adored in Ottawa.
Tkachuk met the audience of Quebec in his own victory over senators on Sunday. Unfortunately, on Tuesday there is no leveling of senators against the Canadian.
The room, filled with more than 18,000 spectators in the center of the video trave, would undoubtedly be strongly charged with the presence of the plague, which lets playing the heads of its opponents.
Tkachuk was still meeting with the media in the morning after training, and when he was asked if he was in the place of poor service, he was not a parade.
“This is a compliment, if supporters of other teams do not put themselves behind and make you hear screams,” he answered.
“I do not focus on these things, and all I want is what in the match, the gestures that I do bring us success, even if several people do not value. When I see that negative things tell me, this usually means that I did something good, ”he continued.
Valid leader
Proponents of the Quebec Canada, of course, will find in his words an additional reason to pour out their bile color on Tkachuk. Last season, they no longer carry the author of 29 goals in their hearts, who always has a gift to put their noses in traffic jams.
It is a pity for them, assure the players of the senators. In this locker room, the one who survived three seasons in the next 30 goals or more than 2021-2022 to 2023-2024 seems simply revered.
“He surpasses the role of the villain. When he is really in that place, he plays so emotionally, sometimes even too much, but he does better with this level. He has a method of playing that allows me to have more space on ice, ”Tim Stuttzl praised, the best point in his family last season.
“This is always involved when the game becomes more dirty. He loves to be in the face of other teams. You definitely want her from you. He has a gift to Scallo, and he is a very good leader, ”added Dylan Kozens.
“Special” person
The fiery style of Brady Tkachuk, like his brother Matthew, was known for several years of hockey lovers.
His teammate Jake Sanderson, who was also next to him in the confrontation of 4 nations, believes that it was in this tournament that his popularity exploded, especially when he threw gloves against Canadians.
“It was his”Going to the party” [moment de révélation]I launched the defender. The guys along the whole league knew him well, but supporters of the whole world really discovered his play style and what he is capable of. “
And even if Tkachuk loves to take his rivals as much as scoring goals, his teammates unanimously talk about him as the best guy in the world.
“In matches where tension rises, especially in rivalry with Canadian, we see that he has a small smile on his face. He has fun with this, but at the same time it is very pressure on his shoulders, ”said Sanderson.
