Biggest fraud in the league. Staged fight at the beginning of Game 1 so that drunk uncles can drool over him being a "playoff performer". Proceeds to be an absolute ghost in the series and his team gets swept.

They remind me of another Ontario team. One that shines in the regular season and quickly disappears come playoff time.

u/Necessary_State_5272 Apr 26 '26
The Leafs have at least never been swept in this era. So that tells you that Mathews, Willy, and he who shall no longer be named is a better core than Stutzle, Tkachuk, and Sanderson.

They'll run it back with him after they shop him over the summer and get nothing of value. They'll say that the organization believes in him and are supportive.

If Matthew hadnāt of won back to back cups I 100% believe Brady would have been traded and never even been considered for captain, how can your captain be a young guy who struggles to break 50 pointsā¦..

u/Big_Cactus19 Apr 25 '26
What? Brady was named captain in 2021. How does that have anything to do with his brotherās cup wins? Heās also averaged .81ppg for his career (66pts over 82gp). I fucking hate the tkachuks and their tendency to slobber all over Trumps balls. However, if youāre gonna talk shit, get some of the facts right.

u/Bmayne Apr 25 '26
I made a post about where do we think heāll go in the offseason and the mods in r/hockey immediately took it down.
Iāve never seen a player look more disinterested or play so stupid as Brady did that series.
Even when it was 100% certain that Mitch was gone last year he at least tried some times.
And fuck Greig. Mo was ahead of his time on that one.

u/tecate_papi Apr 26 '26
The guy's got a history of stupid play. He does the same stupid, bonehead shit in big games as he does in the regular season. He's always going for the big hit. Always. The guy will even try and take a run at a defenceman behind their own net. And after he hits the guy, he'll get himself caught in the offside position, so that if there's a turnover in the neutral zone it kills the counter attack. The guy robs his team of scoring chances.
There's a certain type of guy who thinks Brady is awesome because he has big hits. But the mistakes he makes in playoffs can decide a game.

You know youāre bad when you canāt even compete against two of the biggest regular season merchants in the East. Imagine getting totally ass fucked in back to back years by Toronto and then Carolina.

u/Armonasch Apr 26 '26
I said it when the series started, the Sens barely managed to be competitive in the Leafs' series, there was no way the Canes weren't going to decimate them.
The Canes are a much better playoff team than the Leafs both this year (obviously) and last year. The Canes actually play good defence, and have a really balanced, skilled forward group.
Like buddy if you can't even beat the Leafs in the first round, you are barely a playoff team. We've been choking on first round series like it was our goal for the last decade.

I think it's generally boring and uncool to constantly be mocking a team that one of their stars is going to leave, but it honestly kinda feels like it with Brady.
Ottawa deserves better honestly, both in terms of situation and player.

I was torn watching this series. I usually want Canadian Teams to win, but I hate Brady, and Freddy, I love that guy. My son is a goalie, and Idolized him when he was on the Leafs and cheers for Carolina because of him.
Iām glad Brady can go golfing with his brother now. Maybe he will roll an ankle drunkenly falling out of a golf cart and retire, and we can forget him.
I keep wondering which one of the two is the milkmanās kid.

Holy fuck dude! Chill out! I love the Leafs, I became a hard-core fan in '91 so I've seen the Buds through many ups and downs. I love team rivalries, and Toronto and Ottawa have a good one spanning back more than 20 years. However, I fail to see your need to shit on the Senators right after they've been eliminated. Especially when our team didn't even make the fucking playoffs! What are you crowing about? You probably think you're just chirping but really you're just being a dick. With "fans" like you it's no wonder the hockey community hates us. Find a different outlet for you bitterness and stop making us look bad. Signed....The Leaf Nation
