Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 UPL!! UPL!! UPL!! That said, Subban played very well last game. I would still put UPL in there tonight and give Subban Thursday's rematch (maybe). The team is rested and has been playing very well lately. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

Digger Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 The Tuch era has finally arrived. I hope he has a great debut and plays well in front of all his family and friends. A win for the Sabres, 4-2, Tuch with a goal and an assist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not anticipate the hype Tuch would be getting from this fanbase. I know someone was trying to get everyone to pump the brakes a bit on Alex. I’m here to do the same. He’s not a superstar, or a talent like Eichel. He’s a good player that compliments his teammates. He may have one of those Steve Bernier debuts where he gets points, hits and maybe even a fight but he’s not the savior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a local kid & a (non-prototypical) top 6 power forward. 2 things this team pretty much lacks. As with all new toys, the anticipation mounts. Especially when it didn't arrive until nearly Christmas even though the parents hinted that's what we're getting for a couple of months. So, yeah, he probably won't live up to the anticipation, but he's a good player that'll push a JAG out of the lineup. Well, assuming Thompson plays tonight that is. (And presuming the BJs actually make the trip.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Alex Tuch will do nothing wrong this game. That’s how shiny new toys work 😂 Sabres … 3 Jackets … 2 Alex Tuch will be rather pedestrian. He won’t suck, he won’t wow. He’ll need a few games to “ramp up”. Skinner, Cozens, or Dahlin with a goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And presuming the BJs actually make the trip.) Your perspective is the right perspective not only as it applies to this inaugural Tuch game but also to this team's future prospects. In the Jack era this team's fortunes revolved around a special player who had little support. Now the design of this team revolves around a fuller team that is not primarily reliant on a player or particular line. The roster is steadily being thickened with more solid to good players who as you describe will push some of the JAGs out of the lineup. Next season, that process should be accelerated with the addition of young players coming from our AHL farm club. The plan is in place; the plan is being executed. Don't be surprised if a topic arises here as to whether we have enough vets on the roster to guide the swollen group of young players! I don't want to be boringly repetitive but the success of the plan still is underpinned by the play of our goalies. Without it, all the good deeds will be diminished.

Flashsabre Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Tuch scores 3 goals, 3 assists, knocks 2 Jackets out cold with mammoth hits and goes down the bench fighting the entire Jackets roster, beating up and disposing of each Jacket as he goes!!😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
