PickaPecaPickles Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 He's a big dude. I hope he is willing to drop the gloves and stand up for his mates if it's ever needed. It would be great to have someone who has some skills and it tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Now that they have Tuch, they might literally have their 3 best scoring forwards all out on IR. (Suppose that was true when Eichel was here this season, but he was never suiting up again for the Sabres. And technically Olofsson isn't on IR but it's getting close to a week that he's been out, so effectively ...) Granato's not getting anything handed to him.

dudacek Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Tuch has 71 career PIMs and, as near as I can find, 2 career fights. He 301 hits in 249 Vegas games. He’s no Foligno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s no Foligno Thank you. Some people are talking about him as if he will be a bruiser, borderline enforcer. Those people will be disappointed. He is big, but he isn’t a nasty player and he doesn’t fight. Good player though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's like Foligno in terms of his love of the city and the team; Tuch is Foligno only if instead become a checker and grinder he gained great skating speed and a bit better hands. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus_ Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 So happy for Tuch, and this is a great number. I have a Mogilny 89 and will likely order one for Tuch in the same number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike was a textbook power forward with good skill and hands, effective on the first line, always top 6. Drop the gloves occasionally, but that wasn’t really his role, more a product of the era he played in. Not unlike what Cozens seems to be trying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's my favorite Sabre ever, still to this day. Regardless of everything, I love how Mogilny played, I loved his story about escaping the USSR before the wall went down etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 I envision him on a line with Cozens and Skinner. He likes to take the puck to the net, Skinner likes to clean up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be tough for Cozens to cover for both Skinner and someone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
