Tage Thompson is a future star

[Korpse]

The thing about that poll is that it was Norris who had the higher shooting % in 21-22 not Thompson it was a mindboggling conclusion some were making.

I think you are missing the point of not only the poll but also the opposing argument. I say that as someone arguing the same point as you. The poster you were engaged with was making a point that Thompson didn’t have a history of a high SH%. I’d agree it wasn’t a fair conclusion because Thompson has become a completely different player with completely different usage.

The conclusion should be that players can maintain a high SH%. I’m not really surprised you are misrepresenting what has been said in other threads though. It’s a common theme.

People should go and read the reactions to the Tage Thompson contract signing.

 

[valet]

remember all the people that were bashing adams for signing him to this contract? come this offseason it's going to look like the biggest steal in the league

 

[sabremike]

He sure is fun to watch.

If you told me he's 6'10" I would believe you. He looks ridiculous out there, in a good way.

The thing is that nothing you write here contradicts what I posted so I'm going to move on as this is a Tage Thompson thread.

That was the day I knew I was smarter than HF.

 

[Gee Wally]

Bergeron one classy guy.

 

[Peasy]

Hes scoring at least 40 this year

 

[Ace]

Knowing what he was before last year….

this is legitimately bananas:

 

[GOALOFSSON]

Can't Stop Won't Stop (scoring)

 

[Peasy]

Dudes a stud. One of a kind right now in the NHL. So many people already looking silly saying it was a bad contract, one year wonder. It hasnt even started yet and its a steal.

 

[The Great Weal]

He could have 7 points tonight. He's been a monster against the Habs.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Thompson is quietly burning down villages and it’s not even close

This line improved since Wednesday

New username checks out.

We all dance around Mario comparisons when that’s the player he looks like, some nights. Obviously he’s not there yet, but when a 6’7” dude dances through 4 Habs for a chance they just can’t stop, trying for his 5th point of the night- after he just dominated a PK shift- that’s Mario shit right there. Dude does it vs the lower-tier teams and still looks damned dangerous against Vegas and Boston, 100% the quickest and most shocking progression I’ve seen from a guy.

Guy's unstoppable. Amazing player.

 

[Gurglesons]

Tage Thompson is the best NHL forward in the game.

As good as Tage looks, nah. Mario looked like that after cancer, back surgery and a million cigarette pack, while hauling Scott Stevens on his back.

 

[Ace]

Tage Thompson has Jeff Skinner at a point per game a quarter into the season.

I know there isn’t a trophy for that….but there should be.

Tage>Mario

 

[Mrb1p]

Tuch is also super underrated IMO. What a haul the sabres got for their two top c.

 

[Dempsey]

Yet another game with 8+ shots, which puts him now third in the entire league in shots on net. He keeps this up and he's potting 50 goals.

Tage Thompson is the best NHL forward in the game.

Elaborate?

I was wondering what makes you think this if you are indeed being serious.
