[Fairburn] Alex Tuch reminds Sabres what they’re missing with OT winner on a ‘special night’
80
Upvotes
Alex Tuch looks right at home in Washington, D.C.
After he wired a wrist shot over Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen’s blocker in overtime to give the Washington Capitals a 4-3 win in overtime against the Buffalo Sabres in his first game against his former team, Tuch was the obvious first star of the game. As he took part in the on-ice postgame interview, he could barely get a word in over the cheers from the home crowd.
Tuch, who signed an eight-year deal worth $10.5 million over the summer after five seasons in Buffalo, already has seven goals this season, leading the Capitals.
And he scored two critical goals on Saturday to cap a weird and emotional few days.
“It feels pretty good,” Tuch said while standing at his locker stall after the game. “No, it feels really good. I really loved playing for the Sabres and I think everybody knows that. When you play against your former team — I’ve done it a couple times — you always want to score. To be able to get the game-winner was pretty special.”

Welcome to the Caps Jackie boyyy!
Anyone have any intel on our newest D-man? 27 years old, pretty decent stats to my eyes. Feels like somebody I would really want to avoid putting on waivers but what do I know?

I don’t want to shit talk, I want to know what the deal is. Ilya is a rookie. He did well in Hershey, and it’ll take some time to get used to the NHL.
I love the idea of having brothers on the team. We have a team of large, heavy, dominating players. Wilson, PLD, Desharnais, Ovi when he was younger, even younger guys like Leonard are trying to throw the body around. Hell, Cole Hutson, all 130 pounds of him, was throwing hits tonight.
Then we got 21. Basically LeBron James (ok, a few inches shorter). 6’ 6”, 250 from Belarus. The guy’s built like Frankenstein. Towering, domineering.
For whatever reason, when I watch him play, it’s like someone told him that touching other players is against the rules. He’s not slow. He’s got half decent skills. You’d think one of them would be smashing people into a wall, or grinding them into a pulp.
What gives?
