He's a lot faster than he looks when he's moving the feet. Weird looking skater, but effective. Nothing like watching Skinner or Dahlin skate.

Between Mitts Skinner and Tuch, Mitts is the only reliable dangler, he's rarely losing the puck when making a move around the opposing players where as Skinner and Tuch lose the puck so often usually right at the blueline

Ovie knocked the fvck outta who last year? Wasnt it another russian?

Edit: Svech it was,

- DirtyDan


Poor kid. That was a tough one. And a lesson for every OV hater for the last 15 years as to why he's almost never had to fight. Players in the NHL already know.

He is fine the way he is. Also, there is absolutely no way that he is putting 20lbs on that frame.

Just about to say the guys 25 and 220.... Hes not growing anymore


Puberty stopped 4 years ago for him

I've decided Tage scores 50 this season.
- lacaprup


I don't see why he wouldn't at this point. Hoping last night's game put the whole "last year was a fluke" nonsense to bed. You don't dominate a game like that without being legit.

Since when is toughness directly associated with fighting? The dude plays a heavy game.
- Slump Buster


I agree, I think Tage is a beast, skates like the wind, has great hands and can break the sound barrier with his shot. I agree I think he can score 50 this year just by taking his 5-8 shots a night on net and converting at 8-9%

he's 6'7". You think he's accumulated all of his muscle mass? Not a chance.

The guy would not be very fast if he gained another 20lbs

Maybe let him gain another 5.. beyond that your asking for to much

How many guys with his frame do you see suddenly put on weight in their mid 20s? The answer is none. He is tall and wiry and that is part of the reason he skates so well.

Lasat night I noticed Tuch losing the puck every time he tried to deke around the opponent.. usually at the blueline which is the worst place for that sh!te.

I didn't notice Mitts all that much last night but I have been impressed with how nice his hands have been

Brown mentioned that was something he would do earlier today on One Bills live. Great insurance.

Moss sucks, its an upgrade and Hines can slot in at WR.

Beane wasn't giving up the assets for a prime piece. He stated Bills will need the picks down the line.

- DirtyDan


That sounds like bullshít since he was in on CMC and Kamara.

Tuch has actually had a mediocre couple of games after his hot start.

I think Mitts aggressiveness on the PK is starting to carry over 5 on 5. I still think he has a Curtis Brown career path.

We'll see in a couple years. There's no way he stays 220. He still looks very thin.
