3 Tkachuks or 3 Nylanders?

[Mattavarner]

Kind of interesting how similar the 2 families are, Michael and Keith are the same age, and both have 2 sons that went in the top 8 of recent draft years, Matthew and William are fairly proven, and Alex and Brady are just getting started. Which group would you rather have?

Keith was much better than Michael.
And Matthew’s the best of the kids and plays a tough hard nosed style that reaps rewards in the playoffs. So the Chucks.

 

[TheBradyBunch]

Keith >>> Michael
Matthew =/< Willie
Brady >/= Alex

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Do they have to be compensated prior? That might give the Tkachuk's an advantage.

 

[FerklundCGY]

The Tkachuk's and it's not even remotely close to even being remotely close

 

[Hostile Offer]

Every Tkachuk is considerably better than their Nylander counterpart.

Willie>Matt

 

[Master P]

I believe they call this a "lopsided result"

 

[Jumptheshark]

Tchucks in a walk

 

[FerklundCGY]

Willie>Matt

Lmao that's quite the dream you must've had to believe such a ridiculous thing.

 

[Panthaz89]

Tkachuks would bully the Nylanders on ice head to head.

 

[Skolman]

This isn't even remotely close.

61>49
Real numbers not a dream.

I agree, Tkachuks are pretty much bullies. They're physical, piss people off for no reason, and specialize in being massive .

On the side note, I also agree that every Tkachuk is better than their counter part. Only real debate would be with Matt and Willie, and I still think Matt>=Willy just because of his overall game and how much better suited it is for the playoffs

People never look at numbers...

And some people base their knowledge strictly on numbers, go figure.

He has no points in his playoffs.

Willy helps his team get to them, out-produces him, in both regular season and playoffs, and leads the league neutral zone takeaways.
Better offensively and defensively. Stays healthy, doesn't get suspended.

Tanner Glass was more physical than Willy too. Stop being so blind.

Then how is he better?

 

[Skolman]

Then how is he better?

Has Claude Giroux been a better player than Patrice Bergeron over the course of their careers in your opinion?

My guy... I'm a leafs fan, sure Willy has potential to explode and be better, but as of this moment, Tkachuk is better and I'm sure if you made a poll you'd find out.

I don't think the difference is as big as CGY fans think it is. Don't tell me I'm blind when you just have homer glasses.

Its not quite right in the comparison.
Giroux has produced more, but Patrice is great defensively.
Matt doesn't have either of these over Willy.

This was meant more for the general tone of the thread rather that you.

A poll would have the usual HF biases. I just can't see in what metric how Matt is better.
How could Willy explode, I think even if he got 80pts, and won the Selke, people would still say he's inferior

Do you consider yourself extremely biased in favor of Leafs players?
