So for the unintiated, that means he's likely starting?

Or they are trying to get him max reps 

Or maybe both

OK.  Wasn't sure if it was a sign that he's starting.  Seems analogous to a QB getting the majority of snaps the week before a game.

Wonder what was wrong with Tage in the first place? I saw his wrist all bandaged up...wonder if it was something else in the upper body too? I know for a guy like Tage who relies on his hands so much, they probably hack him in the hands relentlessly... I know he's had some back problems too.

Great news for us. Let's go and win out the rest of the games and let the chips fall where they may.

Tage is back and there’s going to be trouble.

I've never put much weight into the need for motivation or bulletin board material, but it is the team that "didn't want him" and traded him away.

I know it's not the Sabres practice but...

Yep, I mentioned that in one of the other threads.  Also mentioned the scenario of the Sabres winning with Levi stoning Reino at the end 😄

Same.  Fight in Nashville game?  Though not sure he actually landed a punch.  In the Devils game he had an awkward move avoiding a hit and went down the tunnel after.

I donno how to feel about this.

This is what I came in to post.

Lyon has played extremely well for them.  At this point, would probably prefer to see Bobrovsky between the pipes.  (Yes, Bob is a way better goalie, but right now Lyon has that horseshoe firmly lodged up his buttocks.)

Get the F outta here.  I was just posting this, but my mom called from Buffalo.

I come back on here and you beat me to it!  LOL.

He's been gone for such a long time
(Hey-la-day-la our Tage is back)
'Cause he's kinda big and he's awful strong
(Hey-la-day-la our Tage is back)

Umm, I think we all know what song he was referring to.

The youngsters here didn't. The majority of kids here weren't even born a half century after this group stop singing.

Tage had trouble with the one-timers last night v Florida. On one he flat-out fell and the other he whiffed. Wonder wth is wrong with him? Is it only timing or is it something else?

IMHO something is definitely going on with Tage.  He has 3 goals in his last 14 games and does not seem to be moving well. 

BTW, that whiff on the one-timer was maybe their last good scoring chance of the game IIRC.

I honestly think Tage should have sat last night, I get wanting to get your star out there, but I think another skater at 100% would have been better. Tage brought next to nothing and we could risk further injury.
