Tkachuk on the other hand, he came to play game 1. He backed up his words, with action. Though now, he needs to back it up on the scoresheet. Every year come playoffs, it's always the same narrative, oh Monahan's probably injured, but what's his excuse now? If Mohanan's still our #1 center for the next couple of years, this team's not going to take that next step that it needs to.

I agree he shys away from the dirty areas and battling for loose pucks on the boards, I don't think it's just him IMO I think gaudreau is as big of a problem as he is. The only palyers on this team that seem to GAS are Tkachuk, Lindy, Mangiapane, Backlund, Bennett, Lucic, Dube, sometimes Gio, Andersson, and Rittich which I still don't understand why he got snubbed again, he was one of the main reason we had the record we did last season, and stole us key games this year to keep us in a playoff spot. This team just doesn't have that killer instinct and their identity is still unknown, it also doesn't help when your two top stars are content with mediocracy
