The fact these last 2 games have had a low amount of penalties called, both ways, is bad news for the Sabres. If the refs are doing the swallow the whistle thing early..ya it’s bad news for us and our top of the league pp unit Exactly -

Ones that weren’t working sometimes just start working, I’ve found one now. Just keep trying, it’s so different this year and I assume going forward. It’s tough -

Re: your small sample size selection there @Taro T I will say I don’t find the results of those games very compelling when our best game of the year was played without Samuelsson not only that, but prob our best game *defensively*. The problem with the “rally around it!” line of thinking is that it works both ways: could easily argue, without Samuelsson’s noted defensive presence in the lineup, the team rallied around a putting out a better defensive effort as a group. Saw it in Winnipeg. In the end, it’s easier to make up what Samuelsson provides than Dahlin. Dahlin is significantly better at offence than Samuelsson is at D. Dahlin is more advanced in his field, relative to other players with that strength league wide. Dahlin is also a better defender which makes the whole argument kinda wonky but, I digress -

I’m not giving the “we’d be better off with Dahlin out for a game” thing credence, sorry. Unless, Game 7, cup final, you say right now you, Taro, would remove Dahlin first, given the choice. If gun to head you’d truly remove Dahlin before Samuelsson, for game 7, cup final, I’ll just concede the argument right now because to claim something that extreme, given your general aversion to hyperbole and favouring of reasoned statements, that you’ve foreseen something I haven’t and cannot grasp not even a joke. You’d remove Dahlin b/f Samuelsson, single must win playoff game? Sure, I’m on board by the power of grey skull ! -
No it’s pretty funny. Face is red etc etc Less known quote from Volker ”spelling is very difficult, especially if you are trying to spell words”

It is. I noticed that but didn’t think it substantially changed my statement. Maybe I faux pas -d Edit just realized I typed road lol Oh well, thought it was just the “to” “of” thing 😆 Im leaving it up

We don’t need a miracle because Samuelsson is out Samuelsson is objectively overrated around here, I’m sorry. He’s objectively overrated. He’s a good player there’s way too much shark-jumping going on. First it was being argued we’d sooner remove Dahlin, the league’s best d-man, for Samuelsson, for a singular playoff game. If that isn’t ridiculous enough, Now we need a “miracle” to win without him hes JAGP. just a good player. He’s not an MVP on this team. He’s 3rd, just considering D. Totally fair, but I think THEY are which in this case for me is the rub -

And there it is. Granato said today lineup decision were about Winning Peterka, and his development, has been Blocked, by a player we added in season Its a good day -
True, it was almost immediately forgivable in that sense. Not only did we win I’m pretty sure we scored almost immediately lol
