ROR was on the team for 2015/16, 2016/17, and 2017/18 seasons. 2016: 81pts 2017: 78pts 2018: 62pts last year of ROR 2019: 76pts 2020: 68pts I mean... if that says "considerably better the year he left" then I guess so. We just have to ignore the other years and context but sure we can say that. Odd though that 2 of 3 years were better than the best year since ROR left. It is just crazy to waltz around here saying the Conn Smythe, Stanley Cup, Norris Winning ROR doesn't make a difference to a team. That's bonkers and I don't even like ROR. I don't have a narrative. And now I will only respond to you in Gif form just like @PerreaultForever Your last line, that is real mature. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never ever said anything about hockey being a team sport or not, did I? What you are missing is the fact I said that ROR is very Good, but NOT good enough to have a significant impact on making the team even close to a playoff team. I am guessing you are all throwing gifs back at me because you have nothing, NOTHING at all to respond to the above line? I'll await your animated gifs as confirmation of that.

Since the team didn’t make the playoffs in 2017 (for instance) when ROR was on the team, couldn’t you say this about Antipin, Bailey, Baptiste, Beaulieu, Bogosian, Criscuolo, Eichel, Falk, Fashing, Fedun, Girgensons, Gorges, Griffith, Guhle, Johnson, Josefson, Kane, Larsson, Lehner, McCabe, Moulson, Nelson, Nolan, Nylander, Okposo, Pominville, Redmond, Reinhart, Ristolainen, Rodriguez, Scandella, Tennyson, Ullmark, Wilson etc …. ? And let’s not leave out the entire coaching staff and sabretooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he was bad, but no, he for sure did not make a difference on his Sabres teams in terms of getting him to the playoffs. Sorry for all those ROR fans that it doesn't fit your narrative, but its true. He simply was not a difference maker on the Sabres teams he was on. A cute little gif doesn't make your point for you, sorry. 1 hour ago, mjd1001 said: Your last line, that is real mature. lol 1 hour ago, mjd1001 said: Again, I love how when people dont' agree with something they start acting like angry teenagers and responding with animated gifs.

Speaking of maturity, this is how we started. Also when you rebut any of what ROR did the SECOND he left this team, we will have something to discuss. But again, a Selke, Conn Smythe, Cup winner "didn't make an impact" in regards to making a team a playoff team is a hell of a hill do die on. You want to talk about how he had the wrong attitude here or the supporting cast or coaching sucked, I am all for it. But to claim that ROR didn't impact the team and then to get so bent out of shape over a gif is just strange. Also I like the tactic you are using here. Accuse me of being immature, attack me personally, and then act as though you are a victim. It's a great playbook someone else recently used it around here too. Saying ROR did not make "a significant impact on making the team even close to a playoff team" is just a hard statement to really uphold and all my initial comment was on was that we can't really say that. There isn't anything to argue you about, we can't say that but probably other factors were the reasons ROR's contribution were not enough to get this team to the playoffs. 1 hour ago, mjd1001 said: Your last line, that is real mature. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does everyone else see this as well? Maybe he won’t be able to continue shooting this high above expected, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he is able to maintain goal production above xG going forward. He has got a great shot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tage is still growing as a player. It is fun to watch. That line continues to roll along and Tage’s confidence grows with each outing. In September who had “The Sabres will trade Eichel but Tage Thompson will step into the number 1 centre role and excel”? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
