So last night the topic of free agents came up...
Who is the best free agent we have signed in the last 20 years can even extend to 30 years call since the 90s?
came up as we said Mojo is the best since...... ? Not many good answers came to mind

I prefer Teppo over Spacek, and I really wanted to say Grier but didn't think he was here long enough.

He definitely counts. Rivet credits his leadership with being a big part of reaching the playoffs in '10 and '11

Your takes suck.
Especially your Buffalo bills takes

- Boss34


My seats at the game were on the other side of that play. I just saw someone make a pass to Sobotka and he fumbled it. I couldn’t see a number

And my bills Allen takes are spot on. The guy has made the same mistakes every single game this year. He hasn’t gotten better

Tage has 4G 4A in 9 games so far down there. The question is, how is he getting those points? I don't watch Rochester so I don't know. Is it just a matter that the game is slower down there and he has time to get his shot off? Or has he learned to use his size? Botts would get reports on all this.

So basically if you-eichel-me are on a line. jack has the puck most of the time, on paper we look good?

Regardless of how individually we played?
According to corsi

- Boss34


Precisely, as long as we took shots AT the net....well, by We I mean Jack.

If you need to see a number to know which player is Risto out there you may need glasses.

The guy making the same mistakes every single game:

First 4 games this season: 3 TDs 6 INTs
Last 3 games: 6 TDs 1 INT

Last year: completion percent 53%, QB rating 68
This year: completion percent 60%, QB rating 80

Absolutely no sign of improvement at all.

Yeah, you've said this twice at least... Pretty sure he's one of the fastest skaters in the league.

Fat Phil is a freak of nature and I will not have anyone shaming his dad bod physique, as it is one of the 7 wonders of the hockey world. A man that plump has no business being that fast

Yeah I am sorry I missed the player who made the pass. I didn’t know it matter that much. The point was that Sobotka fumbled the pass. So you or me could’ve passed that. It’s a pointless dig at me

And Allen’s issues:

0% accuracy on deep balls and still not making overall great throws on short passes

He locks in on receivers and doesn’t scan the field

Against the patriots he was absolutely lost from the 1st drive and on.

Every single “bad” team gave Allen issues. I mean the dolphins, eagles, bengals, and jets defenses kept him in check.

In the nfl, where you have mindchew and David Jones (rookies) throwing for 300 yards easily and Allen struggles and grinds 200 yards passing.
