Became a sabres fan 12 years ago when they lost to Philly in the playoffs. The only playoff game I’ve ever seen. Been here since the start of the bad Sabres. Tage brought a whole new excitement to this team that can’t compare to anyone else in the NHL. We are so blessed to watch him play
Fantastic video. We all deal with a lot of challenges, it's so nice to see someone who deserves it make it through some tough ones. Tage against the machine!
What a story and such a nice guy I liked him the minute I found out who his father was who played for the Kings and now I'm a fan also! Enjoy the ride and Keep dominating Tage you've earned it!!!
As a Blues fan I’m happy to see that Tage has found his place in the NHL and I’m happy for Buffalo as well that they’re now a team on the rise with a young core led by Tage. Who knows maybe the O’ Reilly Thompson trade could end up being pretty even if Buffalo wins a cup with Tage leading the way. I’m glad to see that Tage used all of that hate he got from the trade news as motivation to prove everybody wrong that he’s the real centerpiece of that trade.
That trade is looking pretty good for the Sabres now. O’reilly wanted out. Won a cup for the blues And the Sabres got a future Superstar talent. Win win for both sides
Finally got a goal today. Idk what their issues have been so far but they need to kick it into overdrive. Lot of hockey left to get it done though so not worried lol especially when you got this guy as your top line center. 🤙🏼💯
I think even back then Tage still needed time to grow into his body. We need to remain patient and let all the other young guys continue to grow. Think about how well Cozens, Peterka, Power, etc will be in a few years!
@@danevertt3210 you know what they when you assume.. you just make an ass out of u and me😁..I have two teenagers ..relax it was a bit of a joke..also it's extremely expensive where I live
Tage is the most electrifying player I have ever watched in a Sabres jersey. He is so much fun to watch.
Miroslav Satan & Thomas Vanek would like to have a word.
@@spencercarmichael2918i was going to say the only reason previous statement exists is because commenter has no idea about Vanek and Satan!
@@user-eg1ps2vt3mhahaha ZING
The best ive seen is Mogilny, and not far behind Lafontaine. If we included goalie Hasek has to be #1
Maxim afinogenov

yea i hate to break it to ya but the oilers had a decade of darkness, and mcdavid completely changed this team
@@connormcdavid-r6b well you had a decade of 99

Nice job ESPN, keep showcasing these incredible athletes.
I'm a hardcore Av's fan but Buffalo has been my east coast team for a while. Love Tage and I'm excited to see where they're headed.
Thanks for the support
great video. Tage is a lucky man. Beautiful family and his hockey career is looking great.Such a good person on top of it all.
He’s a Christian
Great players always have great stories.
Happy to see this man achieve what he has. Glad his family is healthy! New Tage fan here.
Great video! Happy for him and his family and proud to have him as a Sabre!
As a Bruins fan I like very few opposition players. Thompson is one.
I’d love to see Tage in Boston one day.
@@castlewood1371 Agreed.
Go Bsssssss

more short docs like this pleaseee. great stuff

O’reilly wanted out. Won a cup for the blues
And the Sabres got a future Superstar talent. Win win for both sides
Amazing video . Kids a certified superstar . So happy for him
How can you not love Tage Thompson
Awesome story. Thank you for sharing.
Last season was incredible. The points aren’t there this year though. Superstars don’t take their foot off the gas
These videos are always so well made
Great player, hope the team overall improves for the 23-24 season
Perfect player for the perfect city he plays in he's our own let's go buffalo sabres!!!
Finally got a goal today. Idk what their issues have been so far but they need to kick it into overdrive. Lot of hockey left to get it done though so not worried lol especially when you got this guy as your top line center. 🤙🏼💯
Big Habs fan here. T&T is no doubt one of my favourite players in the league!
Buffalo loves Tage as much as any player we've had, because he earned it the hard way.
Awesome video. I would love to see more!
that was excellent! very well done
The list of places is sad as hell, im glad he managed it very well
Tage.
Love him even more knowing hes from bridgeport.
Pretty crazy story already. He is must watch hockey on the Sabres. Possibly thier biggest star sence Miller or Hasek.
Tage reminds me so much of Tim Connolly. Obviously not in physic but in pick skill and hockey IQ
didn't know he lived in Alberta! pretty coool
Gonna be a great one
I knew when we traded him if would back fire. Thankfully we got a cup outta it but still. Goodluck tage
great great job ESPN
This makes me so angry at Ralph Krueger, Tage (and the rest) deserved better than him
I think even back then Tage still needed time to grow into his body. We need to remain patient and let all the other young guys continue to grow. Think about how well Cozens, Peterka, Power, etc will be in a few years!
If his wife Rachel makes him as happy as my mom made my dad for 40+ years, I’ll have just what I hope and pray for! ♥️😘🥰😍
I wanna know the name of the music used here 1:19
American Machine Never Break
Guy has almost as good hands as Tim Connolly and is taller and stronger. Crazy how he can move the way he does at his size.
@Graviteh hitting the big time! 🤣
Big DAWG. My favorite DAWG
A good story to understand so many people these health issues!! Get well! I'VE GOT AND NO ONE CARES HERE!!!! Maybe, Phillip could help if he wants. 😡
He seems like a match up nightmare
Ralph Kruger needs to answer for his crimes
I’m going to name my kid Slapshot McGoo
Enjoy those years when you have a tiny cute baby - because you never get those back
Have another.. professional athletes can afford it not like the majority of us these days
@@jessebremner5209 I’m assuming you don’t have children given you’re response

Watching the nhl on ESPN is mind numbingly awful.
Nice piece on him, but Thompson had "arrived" long before the Columbus game. What you talking about ESPN?
Tage Thompson towers over your poverty franchise
Yikes the female narrator makers it unwatchable. Sorry not sorry.
Go back in your cave and do us all a favor and don't come out.
Ya I agree
Ya I agree
She's the worst. Bring back Pierre
@@movaughn2484never thought I would hear this lmao
I think he'll nip 50 this year. Guy is a beauty.
agreed. he's about to break tf out. will be point/game by game 10
Thanks, Tage! For being a piece of the biggest trade in St. Louis Blues history.
Tage.
