And just like Risto, the core issue will be the processing speed of the "muscle" between his ears.
But people will bring up on how much stronger and bigger and faster he looks so he must be a better player.
Can we not start some complete BS narrative that his issues in the NHL were because he was dumb . That was never the issue . He was too weak which led to him getting knocked around and off the puck a lot. So he played more as a perimeter player. Which led to him forever trying to toe drag guys and avoid high traffic area (like the front of the net and along the walls). He needed work on his defense but no more so than any other player his age.
Once he came back last year you saw him attacking the front of the net/along the walls because he was stronger. It’s why he was also very good and occasionally dominate in the AHL. Unfortunately we never got to see him try those things NHL because of his injury.
Bean pole Tage getting knocked around looked like a baby giraffe trying to walk. Which lead to the giraffe theme we see in all of his threads.
He probably thought they were stealing his workout regimen secrets.

What thread are you reading? This thread is almost entirely pictures of giraffes.A lot of really stupid piling on posts I. This thread. I hope Tage silences the nonsense.

This giraffe thing is totally childish.
When does TT stop becoming a meme on this forum?
What does he have to achieve as a minimum requirement?
Genuine question.

Yeah at this point I don't think the jokes are tied to performance. Its just a running joke about his height

The long purple tongue is a little concerning though. Hopefully the trainers take a lookGenuine answer: When/if he's ever off the team. I think Tage will always be a giraffe, and it's just due to hit height and his rather lanky frame.
Maybe it's something in the water?The long purple tongue is a little concerning though. Hopefully the trainers take a look
I love sea lions as well:Tage will score a lot this season, but the giraffe thing won't go away. It'll get reinforced and become more of a thing.
I don't see PETA or the SPCA going along with throwing giraffes on the ice during wins. Going to take forever to get them off the ice. I really wish @sabremike went with a seal instead of a giraffe. Seal necks are longer and generally underappreciated.
