Would you rather have Matthew or Brady?

[McJesusSaves97]

Matthew, umm but I dislike him very much

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

I thought this was a Austin Matthews vs Tom Brady thread and was very confused

 

[CanadienShark]

Wow was not expecting Brady to take down shea weber. Even the announcers seemed surprised.

"Taking down" implies that he won. Brady didn't win that fight. He pushed an off balance Weber into the net because he couldn't hang on any longer.

 

[DueDiligence]

People voting against Matthew I assume cause they just don't like him orrr

Easy choice to take him over his brother imo.

Matthew scores more points but Brady is a much better leader and competitor. Brady is a winner , Matthew not so much.

Weber was the one hanging on.

Better question does Brady look more like No David or the sloth from the goonies?

And also landed more punches. That's a win lol


I don't think Weber landed a single punch. Took a couple to the face, and got thrown on his back onto his net.

It's not even a tough decision to know who won...

But I'll give Weber kudos, he did hold onto Brady's jersey pretty tightly. Good for him.

Look at the hockey fights voting. Tkachuk clearly won.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Both? Both these guys are gems, but Matthew all around is a better player. It’s obviously close though.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Brady is the overall better player but it’s close

 

[Sun God Nika]

It does look like Matthew has a offensive edge but its not as big as the stats say because of quality of teams/line mates. Brady Tkachuk seems to be a better guy in terms of intangibles. I would pick up Brady just because he is a couple of years younger and could possibly have an edge in the future if the team gets better. Dont think there is a wrong answer to the poll.

Lol Brady won. Granted he didn't beat up weber. But he still won.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Definitely Auston, goalscorers like him don't grow on trees

Now this was funny

This is exactly how I feel as well. Matthew is the far better ice hockey player.

 

[MattySnipes]

I chose Brady.

However, if Flames were to trade Tkachuk and give him a fresh start I think he could propel himself back on top.

I thought he was the better one, but Brady has made serious gains.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Matthew is the better scorer, but Brady is a true power forward who is a pain in the ass to play against, even though his offensive upside may be lower.

 

[PromisedLand]

Brady thinks the game a whole lot better than his bro. I take Brady

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

I feel like this poll should be a lot closer, but Matthew has been playing dirty and caused ire.

Matt is a much more skilled player. Will have many more points in his career.

Brady is the calmer, smarter one who plays a complete game.

Neither guys you build a team around, yet it feels like the Sens are building around a shaky but talented structure in Stutzle, Tkachuk and Chabot. All the while the flames are collapsing with Matthew, Gaudreau and Monahan.

Both would do better with more talented linemates, so hard to see what full potential might be.

I'll go with Matthew by a hair. Will probably change my mind in 2 seasons time depending on how the Sens rebuild goes and what the flames do in the next 2 seasons.

I can't choose.
Brady is big and he's got great offensive skills... but I need to wait another year or two to see what he does against the rest of the league with more seasoned linemates before I can really judge him.
Matthew is a monster.
He's never going to win an Art Ross Trophy, but he really knows what he can get away with in terms of suspensions and has a really nasty effect on the opposition. In the past when I think of players that really got under the opposition's skin they'd be doing really dirty shit that got you penalized. Matthew doesn't need to take it that far. He's figured out a bunch of stuff he can do that breaks the code of unspoken rules. He'll never win a Hart Trophy, but what he brings to the team is amazing. I wouldn't say he's underrated, but I think what he brings is greatly unappreciated.

Only thing I'd really be concerned about is how many shots Matthew takes to the head. That stuff will catch up to you. Maybe he chills out like Marchment has.
Either way, I can't choose.
They both play big games, don't take games off, piss off the opposition and know how to put up a ton of points.

 

[thadd]

Brady thinks the game a whole lot better than his bro. I take Brady

I donno man. When Matthew is pissing the entire opposing team off without taking a penalty, it looks pretty damn smart.
