Spilling the sticks...
| Player Name | Note Type | Note | Writer | Game Watched | Viewing Method | Game Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Able to control the puck while on one knee and only one hand on the stick, with a defender wrapped around him. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | Live | 3/6/2016 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Beautiful feed for Marner who puts it over the net. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | Live | 3/6/2016 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Note | So calm when the puck is on his stick | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | Live | 3/6/2016 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Tkachuk having a rough first ten minutes. Seems a little behind the game early. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | Live | 3/6/2016 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Tkachuk processes the game at a high level. He understands where players are going and what needs to be done. Seemingly always in a position to make something positive happen for his team. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | Live | 3/6/2016 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Tkachuk takes a great shot, which gets through Opilka. Strong move to the net and a good shot. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | Live | 3/6/2016 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Summary | Tkachuk uses his body well in the corners and in front of the net. Can see a lot of his father’s game in him, likely the little tips and tricks it takes to be a power forward. Has pro-style game and smarts. His skating is just good, but his solid hockey IQ and on-ice vision help bridge that gap. As others have said, he can skate to where he needs to go. Both a hard shot and soft hands, Tkachuk is cemented in the top-5 for me. | Zachary DeVine | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | Live | 3/6/2016 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Note | That's why he's going to be an NHL scorer: patient, waits for the five-hole to open up, then tucks it home | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | Live | 3/6/2016 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Summary | Big, strong, highly-skilled and excellent hockey iq and vision makes Tkachuk an elite prospect in the 2016 draft. Tkachuk is also highly competitive and always going hard when he is on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | Live | 3/6/2016 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Good play at the offensive blueline to collect an off-target pass at his feet while under pressure, establish position against the defender and keep the play onsides, and then lift a long saucer pass back to his own blueline in order to reset and escape serious pressure. Such a skilled and smart play that will never get on the scoresheet. | Brian Fogarty | London vs Kitchner (OHL) | Live | 3/6/2016 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Showed it all tonight. Fast, nasty, talented, big. He is his father's son. Power forward in the making with everything you need in a forward. Top pick worthy on every front. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | Video (With Replay) | 1/28/2016 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Summary | The scoresheet does not reflect the impacts that Tkachuk made on the ice tonight. At times it seemed like he was controlling the game with sheer willpower, and at others just dazzled with his puck skills. On paper, the best scoring potential in this draft class. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2016 | Video (With Replay) | 1/28/2016 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Supposed to be talented and skilled and it isn’t shown here, looks oafish in this game | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Russia (WJC 2016) | Stream | 1/4/2016 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Note | I do not like Tkachuk with Matthews. they are not clicking offensively. Swap Colin White in there and see what happens. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | Stream | 12/28/2015 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Tkachuk with a power move to get the puck to the net. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs. Sweden (WJC 2016) | Stream | 12/28/2015 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Tkachuk spending a lot of time in front of the next, keeping square to the shooter, looking for dirty goals. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | Video | 12/4/2015 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Note | Marner to Dvorak to Tkachuk and leads to a tap in for the backside defenseman. Talented forward line. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | Video | 12/4/2015 |
| Matthew Tkachuk | Summary | Showed it all tonight. Fast, nasty, talented, big. He is his father's son. Power forward in the making with everything you need in a forward. Top pick worthy on every front. | Zachary DeVine | London vs. Windsor (OHL) | Video | 12/4/2015 |
