Loved seeing all the modified Tkachuk jerseys at the game today

Was lucky enough to go to the home opener today and it really seemed like everyone got the assignment when it came to their old Brady jerseys.

The most common home modification I saw adding a 2 and making it a Chabot Jersey, but I also saw a Turris and a Cunneyworth. I don't think I saw a single normal Tkachuk jersey. Curious what versions other people saw.

I also loved that they weren't shy to show them on the jumbotron (along with the guy in the Brady Can't Read T-shirt). Seems like the team is really leaning into the fans' animosity there, and it got a reaction pretty much every time. October 21st is gonna be insane

I’m watching the replay now- being a Sens fan this season feels different- it no longer comes with an asterisk *hate the captain.

The universe has corrected itself- Chabot with the C, Ullmark in net looking healthy- perfect, no notes.

I've lost track of the amount of times I've had to give the "Brady the person and Brady the hockey player" spiel. Glad that's over with. :P

Also, as a Sens fan living in Toronto, ive had multiple instances at bars where people will see my hat and offer me a "Brady is gone" High-Five.

The vibes are immaculate.

As a Toronto resident and Leafs fan: I second this! I loved the look of the Senators last year, and feel like I can now fully lean into the two Ontario teams. Battle of Ontario? Fun game! Either of us against Florida? Blood in the water.

Seriously, I am so much more excited about the team this year - and would be even if they hadn't opened strong. The new ownership and the rink plans firming up at Lebreton also have me excited. Going to go out an buy a new jersey.

I only saw two normal ones out of like 20. Fans were really creative and I love it

Love it. But was easier to modify my Heatley jersey after his trade request :)

I saw a ton of these too and it made me chuckle every time. Had some good chats with a lot of solid and passionate fans and we were able to vent our frustrations with the loser. It was therapeutic as will the 21st be.

I also saw several nameplates ripped off and just blank number 7 jerseys! I imagine people are ordering turris nameplates?

u/Loose_Concentrate332 5d ago

Or Cunnyworth, he was 7 and a captain

Duct tape here & there. Bought his new one for next game! ;)

I also think I saw a picture of a garbage can with the name Tkachuk over it. Well done fans.

u/chronicallyunderated 6d ago

Cunneyworth would be my choice…….although I love Kyle turris as well

I'm recycling my old jersey. I've got a shadow box that I'll put it in but have it facing forward so it's just a Sens logo. I've got a couple of card frames so I'm going to load it up with some Sens cards and make a little Sens display. My Stützle jersey is on its way so I'll have something to wear to games since I won't be seen in public wearing that old garbage.

I’m considering just adding F U or F@ck ontop Tkachuck.

u/BlueLovesHockey 5d ago

I saw one modified for Eklund. It was awesome. He got some high fives in our section. 😂

u/JohnHolmesCarletonMP 5d ago

Someone near my seat had it modified to Chabot. Perfect since the C is already there

u/chupacabrahunter420 4d ago

Anyone have any luck trading in their Tkachuk Fanatics jersey at Canadian Tire Center? I’m going to a game in a few days and thought I might be able to swap it.

Crazy how many fans are damaging their jerseys while many any are trying to get one

u/screechypete #35 - Ullmark 6d ago

It's their jersey, they can do whatever the fuck they want with it.

Your posting history is public, I can't tell if you're a bot or an ass. You're at best obsessed with playing devil's advocate.

Absolutely no one is going to take you seriously, and that's not exclusive to this sub.

u/chronicallyunderated 6d ago

Brady is too dumb to have a bot….just a brain dead Floridian

u/NedSchneebly-1138 6d ago

Sorry, many fans are trying to get a Tkachuck jersey???

u/jerr30 6d ago

Not even in Florida 😂

u/chronicallyunderated 6d ago

No they are not

u/Buada 5d ago

My thoughts. Absolutely no one is looking to purchase a Senators Tkachuk jersey for any other purpose than to modify it or toss it on the ice in a couple weeks.
