Hockey seems to love dynasties more than any other at least among its playing ranks. Any skill above being able to lace up your skates properly will almost certainly see you drafted if you are the son of a former NHL-er. I will give you 3-1 odds that the son or relative of a former or current NHL player is being bitching about on their team, even if it is just for a little bit. Hawks fans have had to deal with Alex Nylander and Caleb Jones in the past three seasons, and let me assure you that neither can play dead. I can assure you that hockey scouting hasn't gotten past bloodlines like horse racing.
A lot of hockey media would have laughed at the fight between Brady Tkachuk and Brendan Lemieux, as well as the fact that anyone named Brendan is quite likely a penis. Just like their dads! Hockey is great. They would be chortling between huffing a Timbo's wrapper. Hockey is still skewed to the wealthy at the youth level and the sons of former players have an advantage, but this whole thing is too stupid for that level of discussion.
Lemieux the Junior was emulating his father and biting Tkachuk during a scrum late in the Kings 4-2 win over the Sens yesterday. Lemieux would get a match penalty and probably a suspension, and he also got one of the more stinging postgame soliloquies from Tkachuk.
This is the only time I will answer this. It was the most stupid thing anyone could do. This guy is a bad teammate and a bad teammate is focused on himself all the time.

The guy is a joke. He should not be in the league. The guy is gutless. He is going to keep trying to get in the NHL but no other team is going to want him. I can not wrap my head around it. People don't do this. He is a bad guy.

It is outrageous. Kids don't do that anymore. Babies do that. I don't know what he was thinking, he's just a brick head. He has nothing up there. What a joke he is.
Tkachuk isn't wrong. If Brendan had a last name that was Thompson, he would have never been drafted, and he would have never played in the NHL, as it would have been concluded that he sucks. He would probably be yelling at the 11-year-old at the coaching position his dad got him. It is not a surprise that a kid growing up in a hockey culture is a complete dickhead. Brady can actually play, but you could apply those labels to the youngest Tkachuk garbage son.
The younger Lemieux is just like his dad, the toughest guy in the world when you're not looking, and there are two linesmen between him and his intended target. The Lemieux portio was well fed, just in a different way, when their dads fought. The apple doesn't fall far from the moron.
