Ruff Around The Edges Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 3 hours ago, inkman said: 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. I think the Tuch hype that we are seeing is a result of a fan base like ours absolutely starving for anyone to believe in. Plus Tuch being a WNY guy does prop him up a bit, I understand why that happens but also it inflates his impact a bit. Krebs is the player that we REALLY should be waiting for, he is the key to the Eichel trade and that will not change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 ***** Tuch can’t even get into his first game properly. Injury prone, game canceling bust. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Jackets only have 3 guys in protocol themselves, but have played 3 straight against teams with issues. If this had happened last year against New Jersey it might have changed the course of the Sabtes' season. Then again, Ralph Krueger might still be our coach.

Pimlach Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 I am sad to hear the game was cancelled. The team has been playing well so I was looking forward to see them keep it going. Tuch’s debut was a nice side story. On Tuch, I think the comparison to Steve Bernie is low, his play with a Vegas was already past that level. He is not an All Star or a fighter. He is a big forward that plays a hard honest game and can score and play with physical presence. Something we need. The fact that he wants to play here is refreshing.

pastajoe Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Crap, I picked up Tuch and Okposo for my fantasy hockey team because they were one of the few teams still playing this week. 😡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Beniers highest point total in the NHL was 32 and he never topped 16 goals. Tuch's highest point total in the NHL is 52 and he's hit 20g and topped 16 twice (20 and 18). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only cited Bernier as his debut was spectacular. His career, not so much. I was not camparing them as players.

Taro T Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Cynically am curious if the BJs would've been so willing to postpone the next couple/few games if Jenner & Roslovic weren't 2 of the 3 guys out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because we all know the NHL is all about keeping Buffalo at a competitive disadvantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't believe the BJs care about the Sabres competitive advantages nor disadvantages, but they're right in the mix w/ Detroit & the B's for the last WC. Losing 2 to a bottom feeder like the Sabres could put a serious crimp into that playoff drive. Get that no morning skates was the league's idea. Expecting not flying last night was Columbus' & not necessarily for as virtuous a reason as they'll claim. Realize it's a cynical take, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily wrong. (Doesn't necessarily mean it's right either.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
