Nice
I liked Reinhart's comments.
"You could see it, in camp, any given day he was the best player on the ice", or something like that.

Ya know, it's a bit scary.
We've pretty well all noted that Tage hasn't been playing well for the last week or two. Yet he's STILL finding ways to put points up. The last time he went consecutive games pointsless was 11/23 and 11/25
What's going to happen when he starts playing well again?
Given the additional attention, that's impressive. He's finding a way to contribute. That OT play through Heiskanen to feed Power was some silky smooth passing, and what he did to Miller gaining the line before VO's goal? All the handles. It's not dropping with enormous nights games right now, but it's really impressive that he's still finding ways to manufacture points.

I think most people view him as a finalist if the season ended today but McDavid is pretty much a lock with the absurd season he’s having.

LaFontaine's 84 points in 46 games is absolutely crazy, scoring in the 90's was a different time.

I think he would need most goal, be in a clear tier directly behind McDavid but clear of everyone else in points, and the Sabres need to do better than sneak in.
Basically, he needs the Canadian media to be watching Ovie and Sid get hunted down so that they are paying attention while Tage gets hot and makes a huge surge to catch McDavid. Then as the season comes to a close the media will be talking about the Sabres sudden emergence from nothing and oh my goodness would look at Tage Thompson literally scoring the hapless Sabres back into relevance. And then Edmonton probably still needs to miss the playoffs.

There is no Hart conversation. There is a Hart runner-up conversation and Tage is probably a small part of that already.

NHL Awards Watch: Who's leading for Hart, Norris, Calder?
Can anyone keep pace with Connor McDavid in the MVP race? Is there a new rookie making a Calder case? We checked in with voters to see who the favorites are for major awards.

I remember years ago seeing something—a twitter account or a subreddit or something—that was purely a collection of the best comments found on official Sabres social media stuff. I wonder if it or something similar still exists. Always a funny, but frightening read.

In two years we're going to be arguing that Kevyn Adams has only been successful because Botterill left him stacked with great young players and prospects, like Tage Thompson.
I can dream, right?

If Thompson was in the shootout and fired a slap shot from the top of the circles as hard as he could, hardest shot competition-style, it would probably go in right?
