Most of y’all know my thoughts on Dahlin but he has been ass for 4 periods so far.  

So much for the offseason training...he looks weak and has lost just about every puck battle.

[Gatorman0519]

Brutal power play 

[miles]

sabres are playing better tonight, but it would be hard to repeat the poor performance from last night

[Radar]

Hope we don't regret lost PP opportunities.

[Ogrish]

Meh

[Thorner]

Montour is easily our 7th dman 

Just awful instincts everywhere on the ice

[I-90 W]

Better start, better effort and looks like they are playing a coherent system.

0 for 3 on the PP is not good.

This is the pre-season, eh?

Don't know, ullmark seems to be better positioned in net, but yeah guys play much better in front of him.

2 shots on goal with 5 minutes left in the period at that point.

[Gatorman0519]

Good period but nothing to show for it.  Power play still right where it left off from last year. 

[dudacek]

Disappointing we couldn’t use Washington’s blasé start to open up a lead.

But a much crisper period.

Gotta give Ralph some time, this is his first game coaching the unit

Unfortunately they still can't put the puck in the net. Even when they play good, they still stink.

[MODO Hockey]

3 powerplays in a row, 0 goals. Not acceptable

Like when he forced a shot from the center of the blue line into 3 bodies instead of hitting the wide open trailer for the one timer to his left?

[Beer]

This is going to be a loooooong short season.  These guys don’t look good.

[steveoath]

Yeah, that PP was terrible.

Maybe he's just worrying about 5 v 5 tonight. He will start coaching the PP next game.

That's a good example of one of his more moderate errors in judgement. 

Grading on the Montour curve, here. 

[Ogrish]

The whole game just looks slow.

[dudacek]

First two PPs looked pretty good, I thought. The third was awful.

Toby Rieder looks like Conor Sheary, except with courage and determination and balance.

And an ability to stay on his feet.

You have just given me my "scouts, SCOUTS!!!!" player of the season.

I concur and thank you for seconding my motion to dismiss..............from the team as quickly as possible, post haste even. 😉

 

[Zamboni]

No obnoxious boo birds in the arena tonight. That’s a plus 😂

That’s the problem. Without the fans there’s no one telling them when to shoot.
