Player Discussion Tage Thompson 2

[Doug Prishpreed]

There is a downside to defense: shot blocking.

Also they're still not good at defense -- one player got better, but the team is still among the worst in the league at it.

Less than ideal result of that shot block...

Any chance Kulich finally gets called up?

Any chance Kulich finally gets called up?

Should be a 100% chance....

So probably not

Is there any news when TT will return to the ice or will he possibly be out for a long time?

Based on what Adams said today, I’d guess 2-3 more weeks. A week or two before Quinn returns.

If Tage comes back from the 11/14 injury after...
4 weeks: 12/13 @ Colorado (7 more games, 13 total)
5 weeks: 12/19 Columbus (10 more games, 16 total)
6 weeks: 12/27 Boston (13 more games, 19 total)
7 weeks: 1/4 @ Montreal (16 more games, 22 total)

Some perspective on how long of an absence this is. I'll be impressed if the team improves its standing while he remains out.

arent they like 4-1-1 recently? They could be heating up too.

It would be pretty sweet to add the best 2-way forward this year to an already hot team

Can't wait for him to become the best face off player next year.

On top of that, we've been missing Quinn for the entire year, which I'm sure management viewed him as a big time breakout candidate. We're seeing Peterka take his game up a few notches. Quinn has been a step or two ahead of him during their development. There's little doubt in my mind he'd be heating up like Peterka is.

Reinforcements are on the horizon. They just need to play hardnosed hockey, and they can squeeze out points.

The leg injury from McAvoy but it also says his wrist was why he missed time.

I'd ask... Why u no score goals anymore?

[Old Navy Goat]

I would say too much screwing around trying to deke and go through multiple players in the slot when he should just rip that 20' wrister. Not every goal needs to make the highlight reel

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Oosh. Siena looks a bit pricey, lads.

Worth it next time me and the missus are in town to watch a Sabres game loss?

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

Has anyone heard anything? Hope his family is doing well

[Chainshot]

Hope it works out, worried it might be something with his wife.

 

[Selanne00008]

ESPN is stating he is expected to return for Buffalo's home game against Columbus on Saturday. So... that's good news. When I initially saw 'non-roster list' I got triggered thinking he did something bad..

Tage scored another son - a great reason to be out! Congrats to the Thompsons!
