North Buffalo Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 6 hours ago, jsb said: VS GAME in Los Angeles Staple Center 3:30 ET TV: MSG RADIO: WGR 550 am ESPN Game Preview: http://www.espn.com/nhl/preview/_/gameId/401044424 The Buffalo Sabres will try to stop a 2 game losing streak this afternoon by playing the equally struggling LA Kings. Reportedly Phil was tired of GA's rants about the forward lines so he changed them again at practice yesterday: Skinner-Eichel-Pominville Sheary-Sobotka-Reinhart Rodrigues-Mittelstadt-Okposo Girgensons-Larsson-Berglund Unfortunately to try and keep him quiet for next time he put Pominville on the #1 line. Bogo was a NOGO at practice yesterday with his new pairing partner Ballou so no news on D pairings but according to Vogl the pairings were McCabe and Risto, Scandella and Nelson, Dahlin by himself. Phil you crazy MF'r, you can't seem to help yourself Berglund is back in the lineup so a certain free man was caught practicing his lines.. Also please follow the new unspoken GDT rules : No acne jokes No telling Mr. Flagg to STF..... you know the rest Logo hate was grandfathered into the rules so that's ok LETS GO BUFFALO ADD IN NO Espn crap game time leed.

Brawndo Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 WTF is Dahlin on the bottom pair? Just now, WildCard said: Is Sobotka even a center? Center/LW Quote

His stats in this season wouldn't suggest so. I'm worried the same thing is happening to Mitts right before our very eyes. I have zero issue with sheltering Dahlin for a while as well.

Brawndo Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 This is what Ryan Stimson said about Dahlin on Wednesday in the Athletic While it is extremely too early to look too deeply into metrics for evaluation, we can look at how Phil Housley is using Dahlin and the results that has. Dahlin is getting similar usage to the other Rasmus’ pairing. The Sabres generate shots for per sixty minutes at their highest rate with Dahlin on the ice, according to Corsica. Of the four top guys who are seeing the more difficult usage and competition (which has a huge effect in small samples), he’s leading the team by 3% in shot differential (49%). In more fun with small samples, Dahlin’s most common partner, Jake McCabe, is drowning away from Dahlin. Housley isn’t shying away from using him either, as Dahlin averages about sixteen 5v5 minutes a game according to Natural Stat Trick. Hopefully, that ticks up even more as the season goes on. It’s an extremely small sample but this team needs desperately needs shot generation, I would keep him in the Top 4. Quote
Andrew Amerk Posted October 20, 2018 Author Report Posted October 20, 2018 Dahlin isn’t your normal rookie. I’d say he’d benefit from more ice time, instead of less. Quote
