Mile High I understand why you wouldn't like Tucker. But can I ask if you liked Verada? Same guy but Tucker is more consistent, plays with more heart, scores a lot more, contributes overall a hell of alot more and would never, EVER turtle.
I'm sure you no longer like Verada, although when he was here, he was hard not to love as a player and if you do, you won't if the Sabres see him in the playoffs.
That said, I'm also pretty sure you would rather have Tucker on your team than Verada. And that type of guy may just be the missing ingredient in the playoffs.
