The trade doesn't infuriate me nearly as much as watching Tkachuk actually, you know, do something in the playoffs. Where was this in Calgary?

Lol.

Maurice basically said Tkachuk is a gamer.

Talked about him quickly pulling a puck and making something out of it

Then specifically referenced all the times Tkachuk did that to him in Winnipeg when Tkachuk was in Calgary.

Oof

It’s just so hard to be a Flames fan right now.

I need a support group with booze and hot women.
No point in crying over spilt milk. He didn't want to be a Flame at the end of the day and nothing was going to change that. I have to admit he's exceeded my expectations in Florida. He's been a factor in the playoffs for the Panthers when he rarely was for the Flames which is hard to figure out unless there's something about putting on a Flames jersey that makes players play worse in the playoffs (I'm beginning to wonder). Maybe Maurice is just let him free of shackles or he's just happier playing in Florida.

Bennett was mishandled but it happens with younger players where teams just don't put the player in the right place to succeed. Flames just didn't have the patience to play him with top forwards and his confidence took a hit. I think things could have been different if Gulutzan wasn't hired but he was and it is what it is.

Love Tkachuk. But this genuflecting to him on ESPN and TNT is starting to approach CBC’s boner for Mcdavid.

At least he has a personality. McDavid might be the dullest star in history, and we just went through the era of Sidney Crosby.

He's a special player just like his brother. Wish him well at least he spoke gave the team a chance to trade him for something.

Maybe not having Sutter as coach would have changed that

Pretty decent source indicated Sutter was a significant factor in the decisions by Johnny and Tkachuk to move on

Having Benny out there helped as well. It appears he and chucky always got along well.

I think the issue in Calgary was two things a) He was growing his whole time here, so earlier playoff appearances won't be like more recent ones, yet it seems the fans used every series he played in since a rookie against his "playoff ability",

and b) He twice played with injuries during playoffs here, including a wrist injury last season. You simply can't play anywhere near your fullest if you don't have full wrist power.

I think those two factors were never fully appreciated even when he was here, but were held against him 10 fold once he became a Panther.

Tkachuk is a superstar now, full stop.

I am always surprised how many people slag on Tkachuk for his past playoff performances. For a player his age, he was at the very least, pretty good. When he did disappear, he was either playing with a broken hand or half of the team also disappeared. But still, considering his age and the way he plays, there was no reason to think he wouldn't blossom into a playoff performer.

Haha. Ouch.

Feels like this place can’t help from shooting themselves in the foot sometimes

Honestly, as we are on the sidelines, it’s kind of neat to see guys like Benny and Chucky (and Lomberg!), and Gio and Brodie together on playoff teams

All likeable guys from likeable versions of this team

If this has already been posted sorry about the repost. Best part is when Tkachuk is down on the ice and getting up and the goalcam is filming him. He actually looks insane.

Or he doesn't ask for a trade if they don't extend Ward.

I know I've posted this before at some point (in some other thread), but Tkachuk put up 40 points (20G, 20A) in 18 playoff games in his final year before graduating to the NHL. 40 points in 18 games! Two goals in the final game of the Memorial Cup, including the OT cup-winning goal.

Spoiler!


To suggest he's not a playoff performer is just silly. I've also posted before about how power forwards start their prime years later than other forwards, as it takes longer to grow into their body (which is a huge part of their game). I know it sucks that he didn't want to re-sign here, but the guy is just gonna get better and better. He's 25 right now and already this good... 28 year-old Tkachuk is gonna be friggin scary.

Tkachuk continues to impress. Interested to see if he will be the 3rd finalist for the Hart when the voting gets released. Pretty sure McDavid and Pastrnak will be the top 2. 3rd it could be a few guys but I think when they voted at the end of the regular season, that it will be Tkachuk. He's quickly turning into a superstar and is definitely one of the top 10 forwards in the league and one the cusp of top 5.

He was a superstar before he got to Florida.

Your intentions with this comment are blatantly obvious but I can't tell if you're trying too hard or not hard enough.

Oilfan is fine. He's got a long history on this site as a relatively neutral observer.
