Player Discussion Mason McTavish

[Ducks DVM]

Are you a vet?>

Yes

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Ducks DVM...

Unless he is just a really obnoxious mechanic who calls himself a "doctor of vehicle management."

I thought he was paying homage to the mid-Atlantic of DC-Virginia-Maryland, maybe he was from there lol

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Yes

Nice I didn't know.

I honestly never put that together until now.

Hey DVM, if you are our vet, can you toss a "frequent flyer" discount our way?

I have not seen him on the stat sheet lately.

How has he been doing?

How has he been doing?

He’s been noticeably playing hurt for a long while now

That's not good.

How has he been doing?

Pretty much everyone here is convinced he’s playing through multiple injuries. IMO, the fact that he hasn’t been shut down is malpractice

 

[Goose of Reason]

That's not good.

It is actually, our GM said that our young guys need to learn to play hurt so it's good that he's clearly struggling to keep up with the pace of the game

Gotta lower that P/GP for his next contract.

Verbeek's playing 4D chess while everybody else is playing teqball.

Does enyone notice Mason's head tic? It's kind of scarying me all season long. Looks like that it appears more and more often through the season. I have a couple of video to explain what I mean. I tried to search in this thread some messages raised this issue but seems like no one mentioned it before.

We've talked about it. It's bizarre. It's not smelling salts.

 

[bracer028]

I wonder who will ultimately be better between him and Zegras? Can see an argument for either at this point. I think McTavish has pushed ahead right now but Zegras has slightly higher upside

Zegras is the better player. But not the captain

Maybe his helmet is loose? Or maybe a bit ocd or something? I suspect it’s not a big deal. I wonder if he was doing that last year

I think he hates the visor, he always positions his helmet as high as he can to raise the visor completely

This is exactly what it is. You can tell he does everything he can to get the visor out of the way.

 

[AngelDuck]

It’s extremely close between Zegras and McTavish as far as who will ultimately be the better player

 

[Quack Shot]

I always thought this, but I’ve seen him do it 3-4 times in a row, when one time would have sufficed. He does it on the bench too.

It’s probably become such a habit that he does it even when he doesn’t need to. He really should figure out a workaround.
