Tage looked terrible last game
Looked “meh” to me in the 1st game
Obviously I’ve never loved the guy, but i just haven’t seen enough positive out of him to come close to change my mind
But it’s only been 2 games, and I’m trying to stay open minded & give the kid a chance
So we’ll see

His overall hasnt been great. He's shown me signs of being an usually good stick handler. His shot if/ when he decides to take it, is wicked.

The long reach and stick handling looks natural.
Tage = Bigger skinner

Homie crushed me, by accidentally sitting on me?

Loser RACIST fat jerk that needs to watch where he sits.

Boss you’re so bad at this that Fitz is calling you out.

Oh and Sabres are softer than Fitz in real life. Team of teletubbies managed by big bird.

Don’t think comparing him to Skinner is exactly fair until he starts putting the puck in the net at the NHL level

That fumble at the goal line was awful. Can't hate the player for trying to punch it in, but he needs to make a better decision - He was already mishandling the ball. Just step out and let your RB punch it in with 4 fresh plays.

Big time. I’ve been preaching this since last years early exit. I was cautiously optimistic when I heard he added a bunch of muscle to the 6’7 frame but he is still a complete pu$$.
So unfortunate. That size and a bit of skill in the corners an in front of the net could be deadly. I blame Ralph for not pushing him into this role

That’s a tough play forsure.

The Browns having terrible luck in the playoffs is probably the one normal thing of 2020/2021 though

Stefanski is still trying to figure out how to throw another 30 passes instead of giving the ball to Chubb/Hunt.

Chubb and Hunt have admittedly been terrible today. A lot of drops and aside from a couple of runs, they're getting stuffed. That last drive was their best runs all day.

I bet tage could put up 14 goals over 70 games 🤔

Tage = Bigger skinner, but is coachable and plays the system.

I've seen the replay 3 or 4 times, still can't see where his head was crushed to cause a concussion..looked more like his neck than head.

Yes and Skinner is a bull, what does this coaching staff reward? Nothing he ignores what’s in front of that massive beak on his face and preaches synergy and balance.

Hall is already in regret mode.

Mahomes possibly concussed.

He was definitely seeing stars after that hit

Looked like a boxer after being punched.

Wobbly legs
Ran to the lockerroom

Definitely dinged up. Probably done today
