keith tkachuk on spittin chiclets day before the draft, good insights on matthew.
essentially says that brady is the better natural player but matt has better anticipation.
calls matthew "a work in progress" but later says that matt is like a coach, and very scholarly about the game.
also calls pronger "a prick in on the ice and in real life, if i'm being honest."
great listen

How intriguing is it that all three of the American-born drafted Tkachuk's were selected by Canadian teams?
*EDIT* Here is K. Tkachuk's direct quote when comparing his sons:

They both have good hands, but Matthew has that savviness with the puck I think—with the patience and the sense that he's a playmaker; he's going to guess right; he anticipates. I think that Brady's learning that right now, but they both took different routes obviously, and Brady was one of the youngest guys in college hockey this year—it's an older league, so it took him a while to adjust to the strength of the game. I think they both have that competitive edge and the will to win and that's what I like most in their games."
