Player Discussion Tage Thompson 2

A 5-goal night redux would be fun. Hate to give CBJ the business, but they've played their way out of a spot for a few weeks now.
Yeah I was rooting for them to make it but from my limited viewing it appears their offense has dried up an Werenski has run out of gas.
 
They have proven again that they can't outscore being bad in their own zone and bad at the blue lines. Think of Tage's recent ENGA causing one-man efforts at the blueline where he over handles and causes a turnover that winds up in their net. He does that at times 5-on-5 and while his tracking back into the d-zone has improved, it's far from playoff team calibre.

The Hawks won multiple cups with Patrick Kane. You can certainly build a playoff caliber (even cup caliber) team without every player being a well-rounded two-way force.
