13’3” combined with him and Greenway. Hell the Avs broadcast pointed out at one time that 6’4” Tuch was the smallest player on the ice for the Sabres.

Seems like he's finally learning how to use that reach for good even when he doesn't have the puck.

Are we sure that isn't Tage and Biro after Biro's first goal?

Him and Greenway together is over 13' of PK pair. It doesn't hurt that he's had that pairing which with how Greenway has played is a boost.

The Evolution of Tage is insane. Now he's becoming an elite penalty killer.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Tage Thompson has embraced his role on the Sabres' improved penalty kill

Thompson knows growing the defensive side of his game is the next step in his evolution into a franchise center.

Next summer he’s going to decide he needs to learn face-odds and come back in 2024-25 winning 75% of his draws.

I think Tage won a bet vs Benson.

Thompson, Greenway, Tuch, Bryson, Levi make a solid HE contingent.

If you told me he was looking like a Rocket Richard winner in the off-season, I would have agreed. I did not have Tage being a Selke calibre defensive forward on my 23-24 season bingo card though. Gotta love it.

There is a downside to defense: shot blocking.
