Will Tatar score a goal before he gets scratched for the playoffs?

Will this useless, passive, perimeter-playing sack of shit score a goal before he gets healthy scratched for the entire playoffs?

He does his absolute best to avoid the play and stay away from the puck.

I hate this player so much.

He's got a 168 more minutes than Kurtis MacDermid at 5v5, yet KMac has more goals.

Yes.

 

[Balthazar]

He's turning 34 tomorrow and he's washed. Once Lehky comes back there's no more room for him in the lineup. Drouin is significantly better.

 

[BaconNater]

Wait there's a guy on our team called Tatar?

 

[Alex Jones]

Remember when Red Wings fans wouldn't shut the f*** up about how good he was going to be even though he was 5 years past his draft date and still playing in the AHL?

 

[dahrougem2]

I saw Jonathan Drouin absolutely crush a Coyotes player on the forecheck tonight.

One guy has bought in completely and is being rewarded with PP1 and OT time.

The other is Tomas Tatar.

 

[Avs9296]

Yep his time is numbered. Once Lehky comes back and Kovalenko comes over, he ain't seeing the ice again.

If Landy miraculously comes back Tatar may as well just book a flight to Slovakia or wherever he's from.

 

[AvsFan29]

I wouldn't even care if he doesn't score, as long as he skates hard, and gets the puck deep.

He constantly loses the puck at the blueline when entering the zone, or tries a stupid drop pass to nobody.

He can't even dump and chase.

 

[UncleRisto]

Can safely dump him in a trade if they end up finding a big salary player coming in. In fact, I'd look for a trade anyway. Just right now, if they can find an extra forward somewhere else.

I'm happy Drouin is able to contribute, though.

How do you trade him and with whom? It’s tempting to say with a team looking for scoring help. But then you loop back to the premise of this thread.

Really? Had no idea….

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Who would have thought that Drouin would be the better of the two?

I hope the Tatar parrots from the past few years are enjoying that egg on their faces. Time to find a new, awful player that won't fit the system to rosterbate over.

Who's the slowest skater in the league but scores goals and can be 2C? It'll be that guy next.

I was confused too. Ends up he’s talking about Tatahhhhhh.

Try another struggling player with a year left who has less scoring potential.

Ryan Johanson?

We got him already.

 

[ASmileyFace]

If it wasn't for injuries I think he would already be eating nachos. Bednar must want to shoot him to the moon at this point

 

[Snow Arc]

He doesn't even look like a Tatar.

 

[Pokecheque]

Damn...there's some palpable vitriol in the leading post there

Yeah, he's struggling, I'll give him credit for fighting like hell though. There's absolutely no lack of effort. I'd like for him to make some quicker decisions with the puck, but otherwise I'm still hopeful he'll figure it out.

That said, sure is nice that Drouin for the time being really looks confident and making a much bigger impact.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

I can't complain too much about tatar. He's trying and he's close to converting. If he was just floating around doing nothing it would be one thing. I think the dam will break sooner or later.

 

[Metallo]

He looks washed up. I can't figure people saying he's giving effort. The guy does nothing, he can't hang on to the puck, can't throw a check, has a meh shot. He is ver bad use of our limited cap space, even at 1.5M$.

 

[Hennessy]

He's always been a streaky player, but this is something else. You'd think after holding out so long in the off-season for the right team to come calling he'd have a better showing, but so it goes. Hopefully, he wakes up for a few months before shutting down again.
