[Heather Engel] Tage Thompson: “There’s nothing that beats winning. This is the most fun I think I’ve had here my entire career. We’ve got something really good going, and it doesn’t feel fabricated. It feels real, and I think everyone in the room believes it as well.”

  1. I figured by the time we felt even *close* to 2022-23 again, Tage would be gone. I’m so happy right now.

  2. Love the word choice, ‘fabricated’. Willing to bet that’s never been used in an NHL postgame interview.

  3. that quote from I think it was Matthew Fairburn, when he said the energy in practices has shifted and the guys are smiling more, laughing more, and having more fun, that got me so excited it’s so peak. this team is awesome

  4. They’re finally playing how they look on paper. I don’t know what the change was, or who flipped the switch but thank you! This is fun to watch, they are competitive every night and play good hockey. Constant forechecking and battling for the puck, never giving up on a play and playing end to end. Everyone knows their job and does it. It’s a damn thing of beauty.

  5. And just to think that after the first month I thought the Sabres were headed to another rebuild and that Tage’s days in Buffalo were numbered.
