Randall Flagg Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 At least we likely won't fall into the Rolston trap and stick with Granato after this year is up. Nothing against the guy. 2 Quote

Carmel Corn Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 No doubt tonight sucks, especially losing Cozen's too. But I will say this....I WAS ENTERTAINED FOR 2 PERIODS....which has not been an easy thing to say this season. 3 Quote

JoeSchmoe Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 I like how Granato said they ran a practice this morning. Hate to lose this way, but I think that kind of attitude will move things in the right direction. 1 Quote

Kid was hung out to dry Look at Hall on the play. On the side of net covered and standing there. With no chance of helping get back - hence the 2 on 1. I never liked him as an Oiler. He surprised me for one year as a Devil. He is a bum. Trade for anything. 2 Quote

Kid was hung out to dry I agree that his teammates should have been more available for passes, but he did have room to not engage with the Flyer/get squeezed out. Everyone and their mother knew he wasn't going to come out of that with the puck, and he didn't. To his credit, he got it back for a split second, but it wasn't enough to keep it away from Philly for long. Had Dahlin been more capable of maintaining possession when engaged, or had he chosen not to enter the point of attack like that, we would not have lost the puck there But, the goal was more on the other two, and I maintain my original point (which apparently was using him as a 'whipping boy') that neither Dahlin's hands, strengths, nor confidence level of late warranted being the first D out in overtime, and it's not really fair to him to do that. I think one would have to be pretty sensitive to take this as treating Dahlin unfairly or as a whipping boy Edited March 30, 2021 by Randall Flagg 1 Quote

I don't really think we have the guys available to put in his place, but this didn't help the Sabres win and it isn't going to help Dahlin's likely deteriorating mental state. Mental State? He has a wing to himself in the Buffalo Psychiatric Center 1 Quote

I also remember a couple OT plays he was in on now, but they were all PP goals. Tangentially, if we are trading Jack, the return had better be good, because I don't think we will ever score in OT or on PP without that guy lol Quote
Gatorman0519 Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 Dahlin is so broken he should not be back in this line up. He’s not going to get better in this situation. Let him go to Rochester and get confidence and the new staff rebuild him. Quote

As a matter of fact, you can see the difference between Krueger and Granato. Dahlin, as well as a couple other D are much more aggressive on the offensive side. Just so happens, in OT, with 3 on 3, it cost us. Be advised, I have no problem with the loss. You play to what you deserve, and this particular Sabres roster deserves every loss they are accumulating. Make no mistake, this team, is that bad. 1 Quote
