Yeah I had that concern. I didn't realize 90% of Skinner's game is collecting loose change, which is awesome. Difference is I've seen Tage play before, I hadn't seen Skinner; Skinner is also a proven commodity prior to Jack, Tage is, well, Tage
Liger created a thread about hot nhl guys, swamp pi and I thought it was strange discussion to have on this forum, pi went the extra mile and started throwing out trans comparisons somehow, and now you're all caught up
Thompson has 9 points in 36 games lmao. He had the same in 41 games last year. So much for progress
BTW he averages 35s more per game this year too, so don't come at me with that
I see what you're saying but we both know 10m is not enough. That's maybe 5-6 shifts
Who knows, maybe I'm wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. And if that line still produces, Reinhart has shown he can run his own line, so maybe we'll actually get secondary scoring
Come on man Thompson tries and fails dangles all game, doesn't matter if the opportunity is there or not he's gonna try it. Sometimes even in his own zone.
Has he been better? Sure. Has he been a lot better than he was? Looks like it. I still don't think he's going to help that line, unless he lets Skinner and Jack run around while he waits somewhere for a shot
That top line is not going to work. Thompson simply cannot possess the puck or transition with it...really he can't do anything other than shoot it. He's going to neuter that line.
CJ Smith should be in. Replace Sobotka with Smith
