Re: Tage Thompson Last season, Tage had 12 streaks of 2 games or more where he didn’t register a goal Tage was goal-less in 44 of 78 games played: 56%. The majority of Sabres hockey games, Thompson did not score. He finished 6th overall for goals this is sorta just how goal scorers do and how math does in a broader sense it’s why McDavid doesn’t win the cup build a great team!

Yep. If a young guy is the best option, he should play. Granato has to do the best he can with the options Adams left to him

He’s trying very hard, and his strategy has been successfully implemented, and maintained whether it’s objectively successful relative to the league remains to be seen

if you want more detail than this you’ll need to find someone much smarter

We should be aiming higher than yet another rookie under the “next man up” strategy If a rookie truly represents our best option..that’s even worse

The bold is assuredly not good, but the rest is well-said

I agree. If we are good: full credit Adams If we are bad: Adams couldn’t have done any better It’s a good point

Picked up right where he left off as the best player in the league from last year’s playoffs

This was the year we were supposed to be able to shift these guys in to provide support to an already well-oiled machine. As of now, yet again, we are asking them the carry the mail. But, only 2 games. I’d imagine our top guys start shifting the balance a bit Whatever the number is, it’s relative to the rest of the roster Legit lol’ed

Talk to the hand, dude!

We just have to start rolling with the punches a little bit

They played much better today and there are guys who almost inconceivably won’t get better so I’m sure we’ll start winning at a more reasonable clip soon. Playoff team? Remains to be seen I hate Razoring out but “not a bad game”

Better light Power’s fuse now, it’ll take a while

I just propose the thinly veiled defences I don’t back them up with analytical data

I wouldn’t say no to a few additional metapods on D to your point, I’m not sure if we have the time to fart around looking for pikachu also thanks the viridian city song is now stuck in my head

But he wasn’t going to be in the opening night roster if not for Quinn, correct? So they planned on moving him, so what you say doesn’t really fit imo

You know what, you are absolutely right. And I absolutely won’t

The Bengals made the SB after an 0-2 start and that represented 13% of their season. The Sabres can overcome 0-2 over 82 don’t worry, I got you

Because Quinn got hurt and we weren’t proactive that’s the actual answer right? It falls under the “hindsight need not apply” things like defensive supplements and backup goalie

I think his point isn’t that he isn’t living up to it, merely that he hasn’t come close to earning it yet. of course, that’s sort of fundamentally baked into the deal: we are banking a lot on what he WILL be. I just think it’s a little optically “scary” in a sense in that there’s no point pretending it’s not rather on the trailblazing and pioneering end to see a guy get THAT much SO soon with so little committed to record for me, being a first overall pick does help me feel more comfortable about it. Plus, if he falls short, it won’t be by much

He was our biggest offseason addition I think? So it’s a story worth following

Look up over correction in the dictionary there’s a photo of Matt Duchene

We’re onto something?
