thanks for filling me in!No chance on two of the goals. UPL played well.

It's been several games, not just Ottawa.I thought it was more so him protecting Benson since the game was getting out of hand.
Lol what a rude ass comment
He was really bad last game but I think he’s been our most consistent defender.
This is elite posting hahaMy opinion on the player season-to-date is mixed, but when the door opens to use Statler and Waldorf for effect <please read the caption in their voice>, one must enter that portal with a confident stride...

Either way I agree and think he should just get his 9 games. Just felt Granato was trying to protect him, especially making him serve Cozens penalty late in the 3rd. Both things could be true.It's been several games, not just Ottawa.
He was a 1st round draft choice, won a Stanley Cup 2 seasons ago, was the anchor on the Avs defense until Makar arrived, sat out some large portions of the final few seasons due to nagging injuries and still has some hockey and gas left in the tank.I also want to state this that I was wrong on EJ. I thought he was washed but I have watched him these last few games intently because he is so good and up and off the glass and out. This team has spent years getting burnt on exits and this dude handles them with a solid first pass or up and out when under duress. Clifton does it too but it seems like all dmen are conforming to that game as I haven't seen a ton of going back into their zone or doing the cross ice deep in your dzone type crap over the past 3 games.

He can still go end to end and charge the net with the puck on his stick. His slap shot remains potent.
He deserves more minutes. I would take them away from Power.
what did Benson do ? Sorry about the bold text...it wouldn't let me shut it off lolG :
- Skinner is feeling it this year, probably less pressure on him to not have to be the only goal scoring option
- This felt like a throwback game to 05-06 energy-wise
- Samuelsson was literally perfect, I watched him make at least 3 just incredibly sound plays. So lucky to have him
- Mitts was great. I hated his game against NYR and he's been incredible since then
- UPL played as good of a game as you can expect from him but I still feel better w/ Comrie in there for now
- Benson on the bench messing w/ Tarasenko, he's destined to be a fan favorite for years
B :
- We've all heard about Stutzle's diwves but even without that he looks to me like a puck hog.
- Chabot kinda sucks too, Sanderson looks 1000x better than him
- I'll admit he made some good plays but my blood pressure shoots through the roof every time Clifton touches the puck.
U :
- Refs didn't know what they were doing, didn't have things under control at all. Doesn't matter too much now but we can't have this in the late season
He's such a dirty little piss baby. Someone needs to f***ing blast him. Maybe Reaves the next time they play the laffs. Anyone on this team that could smoke him? Greenway? Zemgus? Maybe Power?postgame Ugly edition: the bush league not enforcing its own rules giving BK no suspension
during the dust up, Tarasenko was right in front of the bench and Benson was sitting on the bench putting his blade in his face kinda taunting him. Granato came over and put a stop to it.what did Benson do ? Sorry about the bold text...it wouldn't let me shut it off lol

I'm sure they don't like to see him with his gloves off but I wouldn't mind Tage putting his hands on other players more. A lot of defenders put all of their weight leaning into him and some pretty basic leverage techniques could make him a lot more room.It's great to a number 6 tearing it up playing real D

Tage throws like his dad
That's the Josh allen debate. Let him do what he feels and he'll be fine. Watching tage pummel one dude ( I forget who) , he isn't fragile. By reminding the league of their destruction for cheap shots he might be protecting himself, long term.Yeah but those hands can be put to better use. Can't find the preseason clip of him tossing the defender but he was charging down the right wing protecting the puck with a smaller defender draped on him. Quick stop and a shove sent the defender skidding on the ice into the boards.
I don't think it resulted in a goal but consequently there were 4 defenders on the ice and the D were pulled out of position for 3 or 4 seconds. Tage has the unique reach and body to protect the puck with one hand while eliminating defenders with skating and a free hand. They have no choice but to lean in hard on him when he puts his head down. Just help their momentum carry them into the 2nd row.
The only way to defend is give him room or commit a penalty and neither of those things are really defending.
I think it's pretty reasonable to enjoy watching the Sabres win that game and still come to the conclusion that they played just as poorly as they have in every other game so far this season and that the win came down to luck. (aside from the 2nd Islanders game where they played really well)For a team that desperately needed a win, and a fanbase that desperately wanted to see said team win, there are a whole lot of "they won, buts" in here!
I'm curious why you feel he's been playing well. He's struggled quite a lot defensively since the season started.Lol what a rude ass comment
He was really bad last game but I think he’s been our most consistent defender.
I'd give him a few extra shifts, I dunno if it's age or looking for hope in this team but I have never seen a player make clearing or zone exits so easy and quick. Even when it's up and off the glass, the other team grabs it and we are reset and looking to intercept the next rush. It's real wild seeing our team do it, hell Joki has been doing it l.He was a 1st round draft choice, won a Stanley Cup 2 seasons ago, was the anchor on the Avs defense until Makar arrived, sat out some large portions of the final few seasons due to nagging injuries and still has some hockey and gas left in the tank.

I think he’s been fine defensively, admittedly the Montreal game was a disaster.I'm curious why you feel he's been playing well. He's struggled quite a lot defensively since the season started.
