despite all my tage, I’m still just a rat in a cage!
Despite all this Tage, there are still lots of rats on this page.despite all my tage, I’m still just a rat in a cage!
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.
He's mentioned about working to put on another 8 lbs. Once that happens it might not add pts to his stats, but still make him even harder to deal with in puck battles or around the slot.He's blowing my mind currently, but if I had a minor critique/wish of Tage it'd be that he got a little bit more breadth/width/size to him. He reminds me a lot of Lemieux but Mario had little broader shoulders/width. Obviously his height likely makes him look skinnier. But again I'd like another 10 lbs of beef on his shoulders. Obviously it's been such a short meteoric rise I don't want to see this disappoint at all. I don't know if I expect him to be someone that is a perennial 50 goal guy but heck a handful of 40+ years would be amazing still. He obviously has put a lot on himself to become an all-star, I'm just quietly hoping he doesn't let up. It's been a long time since I've been this excited about a player not on my team.
That's how weird this is right now. Dahlin is looking like that most skilled Swede of all time. And I know that's crazy talk with guys like Lidstrom and Forsberg and many others looking on. But Dahlin's ability is just off the charts.
That’s crazy to say when he doesn’t even look better than EK who is still in the league. Incredibly skilled young defenseman though.That's how weird this is right now.

What? He's just as good offensively, and he's three times the player in his own end. I wouldn't trade a 22 year old Dahlin for a 22 year old EK ever.That’s crazy to say when he doesn’t even look better than EK who is still in the league. Incredibly skilled young defenseman though.
Oh stop , todays hockey players are so far advance from the ones of Gretzky Lemieux.. those guys don’t put up the same points in this era ever.He's blowing my mind currently, but if I had a minor critique/wish of Tage it'd be that he got a little bit more breadth/width/size to him.

I have to agree. The game has evolved and goalies have probably evolved the most. I couldn't imagine the point totals if there were playing against stand up goalies.Oh stop , todays hockey players are so far advance from the ones of Gretzky Lemieux.. those guys don’t put up the same points in this era ever.
My David would easily get Gretzky record if he played in that era you kidding me he would go up ice and score at will each shift.
EK finished top 5 in scoring league wide in his prime. Dahlin hasn’t come close to that.What? He's just as good offensively, and he's three times the player in his own end. I wouldn't trade a 22 year old Dahlin for a 22 year old EK ever.

Dahlin is just starting his career. He's only 22.EK finished top 5 in scoring league wide in his prime. Dahlin hasn’t come close to that.
Let's see Dahlin in his prime.EK finished top 5 in scoring league wide in his prime. Dahlin hasn’t come close to that.
Cutoff is the century markI guess this dispels the myth that Gretz wasn't a streaky scorer? How do you do 50 in 39, but not 30 in 30???
Ah, the way it was capitalized, I took it as IN a century. There was really no need for them to try to equate in 23 years to a century. lolCutoff is the century mark
