Tage can go from toe drag whipping boy to 2way sweetheart in one off-season. And @sabremike is already in GIF midseason form.

Maybe Tage gets strong enough that he kicks Rhino out of his net-front position.

He's just a baby. Formally known as Giraffa camelopardalis, the average giraffe stands 14 to 19 feet (4.3 to 5.8 meters) tall, according to National Geographic.
2 goals from Rage Tage tonight, both from Asplund.

Tage too good for the AHL not yet good enough for the NHL. Dude is an enigma.

Some people say his toe drag can never saved...

Great to see him building confidence and getting first line minutes with Rochester. I wouldn't be surprised to see him called up against more physical teams and sit smaller Sheary/Erod.
Seems like they have a strategy this year.....
With the D-corps being jammed up when people get healthy, I'm expecting Buffalo to carry 13 FWs for most of the season, or at least until the TDL. So even though there probably isn't going to be an extra FW spot to call Thompson up whenever they want, I still look at Sobotka and Okposo as basically waiver exempt. Those two can get sent to Rochester at any time with no concern about getting claimed (not that it would be a bad thing). The only issue is the veteran limit for Rochester, which I'm not keen about.
If the vet limit in Rochester is not a problem, then Thompson could force his way into Buffalo at some point, as long as off-ice issues and veteran respect don't factor into the equation. I'm not judging whether it should be, just saying what could determine how soon we see Thompson in Buffalo. I hope that he can make @Der Jaeger , me and others forget about wanting Alex Tuch as a RW for Eichel. That would be a massive benefit to erase that hole, moving Reinhart down to drive that line with Skinner and Johansson.

He has the right mindset for having been sent down and says all the right things about just competing hard wherever ever he ends up, but you can still tell he’s absolutely pissed lol.
he's most likely the first forward callup when injuries hit. Hoping he makes the most of his opportunity.
Yea everyone needs to separate him from ROR and realize he’s a legit top 6 winger in the making...something we really need
Der Jaeger
Generational EBUG
Let him be angry and take it out on the opposition. Channel it.

I mean, he's also 21 years old and still growing into his body if his offseason regimen was any indication... taking some time to learn how he needs to play in the NHL was probably always going to be part of the process for him.

I'm rooting for the kid. He gets irrationally hated on due to incompetent management and the 'move we shall not speak of!'.
Him being sent down is the best move for him. I'm hoping he makes a case to be called up soon. Asplund as well.

Might have to swap Vesey with Mojo or someone, If Cozens makes it there isn't room for him Mojo and Mitts in the top 6.
This is a good thing.
