SDS Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Something’s not right. Not that he was ever the fastest guy, but not only does he appear slower, all he does is wave his stick at people. I think he’s hiding an injury. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Well, that would explain a few things. Especially his reluctance to engage physically like we’ve seen in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottysabres Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Oof, I hope not. I may have pointed him out for the first 2 games of the season as a bit of a ghost but I want no one injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalonill Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Or it was a fluke but I'll wait 15 games to see that 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 I don't expect him to score every game, I'll give him a few games before I make any observations that are firm. I did not like his blind pass giveaway that led to one of the FL goals. That was the worst part of his game today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he forgot how to play from last year. Somethings not right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Tage is playing with Skinner and Olofsson. Skinner is not easy to play with and Olofsson is not first line material. Try this: Skinner Tage Tuch Mitts Cozens Okposso Zemgus Asplund Hiney-Stroka Quinn Krebs JJP 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as injuries go I can’t tell if he is slowed by injury, I don’t see it and I don’t have that insight. I doubt anyone here does either. I think the first line should be improved by adding Tuch in place of Olofsson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAF Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 I doubt it. I'd chalk it up to a few things: Tuch is a better player than Olofsson Skinner has been kinda bad through these two games, lots of giveaways Other teams are probably watching more film on him due to his success last season It's the second game of the season and he's still rusty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT shouldn't need everything to go right around him to be noticeable on the ice... In 2 games he has zero points, his advanced stats are terrible and his body language is reminding me of Eichel... I dunno what is up with him but he better get over it real quick because fans are going to jump down his throat.
