Tage Thompson is a future star

[Zman5778]

If Buffalo makes the playoffs safely he’s a near certain MVP winner

YEahhhhhhh, no.

Not with what McDavid is doing. McDavid would need to cool off rather dramatically AND Edmonton would have to slip out of the playoffs in order for anyone not named McDavid to win MVP this season.

I'd agree that the gap would have to close, but I'm not sure about dramatically. Writers can get enamored with storylines and surprises and all that too. Buffalo needs to make the playoffs for it to be any kind of conversation.

Tage will take the rocket as a consolation prize.

If things made sense in awards, sure.

They often don’t.

Tage having a 60/100+ year and ending the longest playoff drought in the history of the league? He’d get votes.

 

[TageGod]

Didn’t I just say McDavid is the best?

You said EK challenges him at certain points which is laughable.

To the people who actually know hockey it’s not laughable. It’s a narrative you, among others, wanna stick to since this resurgence season from Karlsson was so unexpected. I understand you don’t watch many Sharks games so you follow the safe narrative, that’s what you think at least, but that narrative is only valid for people who don’t follow him. And for each dominant game by EK passing by the narrative follows - slowly but steady, so there’s a big risk this post of yours won’t age very well.

31 goals in 37 games.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

He’s dialing in the Ovi spot more and more. Wild knew it and still couldn’t stop him. His puck distribution is nuts as well.

 

[mcy35]

What he’s doing is insane. Mcdavid is on another planet but Tage is just going nuts.

 

[dortt]

if the Sabres make the playoffs, the Hart goes to Dahlin, not Tage. Dahlin has been more valuable to his team than has Tage. Tage is one the best players in the league. However, Dahlin has been on another level

 

[Zman5778]

31 goals in 37 games.

He scored 1 in his first 7 games.

So he's on a 30-in-30 pace currently.

Wow. Didn't know that.

He is a #TallStar!!!

This mf has been giraffe-posting in favor of Tage since he was doing spinorama giveaways for other-team breakaways in the AHL

I’m not so sure anymore. Both are playing like franchise-level players at this point

Absolutely. Dahlin is playing better than I've ever seen him right now. I think it's a given that he'll get the C next year. The guy is quietly nearing pace for a 100 pt season while playing excellent defense and really letting his nasty streak emerge. I like Tage but the Sabres go as Dahlin goes.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Can't believe how this guy went from waiver fodder/maybe a solid 4th liner because of size to this dominant

 

[wasunder]

Maybe he’ll make it one day

I NEVER STOPPED BELIEVING IN TAGE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Can’t wait for him and his buddy Jack Eichel to be catching up on good times at the All Star game.

Hard to pick between the two this season. They are both incredible and the Sabres are leaning hard on both of them. Amazing to watch Dahlin tonight. 2 goals, 5 points, on the ice for all 6 GF and only 2 of the 5 GA, 29:25 TOI, +2, 3 hits. Pretty good line.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

It’s time to stop making excuses for him.

 

[Zach716]

Idk about Hart with the season McDavid is having but there’s a decent chance he could get the Rocket.

Jack: “They really like you there, huh? Cool you get so much support. Wish I’d gotten that much support. It’s cool, I’m happy now, just not sure why they didn’t like me after I wanted out. Place is electric now, huh? Wish it’d been fun when I was there. I mean, I’m just sayi-“
Tage: “Hey, Eeyore? Shut the f*** up.”

Anywho, I also love how dude has probably single-handedly reset GMs’ love for big dudes. Doesn’t matter how much of an outlier he is, how rare this is, you know for the next decade any 6’4” prospect is gonna get bumped up a few spots because of Tage.
