Was Dahlin dumb?

[Trettioåtta]

Good - that’s the response you want to see. Dahlin is 21 playing top minutes on an AHL calibre team that is missing half its top players. He will be fine.

[Indabuff]

The Eichel thing absolutely sucks but if Dahlin doesn't pan out it'll be one of the PowerPoint slides that flashes through my head in my final moments on my death bed.  

[drnkirishone]

Dahlin as of late has been severely hockey dumb at times.

He needs a sage partner.  While we are at it, get one for Power as well.

It's not that ***** hard.

I agree 100%.  Unfortunately, along a similar vein finding a better backup goalie than Hutton was not hard either but it never happened.

Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night

You could have at least played the good version.

I dunno if Dahlin is dumb or not, but I'm pretty sure Josh Allen is.

Which one?

I heard his parents pulled him out of school in grade 4

Intelligence on a standardized test has nothing to do with one's propensity to repeatedly do stupid things in real life. 

With a #2 pencil in his hand he might be smart. Under stress, Josh Allen is an idiot. 

Is this why he consistently gets touchdowns instead of interceptions in the red zone?

[Thorner]

Aaron Rodgers is one of the best players ever

[Stoner]

Well?

[SABRESfan]

LMAO.  He’s 21 years old and still learning how to play the game correctly.  His play is still infuriating and at times he seems like he’s just coasting out there but I do r want to give up on him just yet.  I find the title of this thread out of bounds.

If at 21, he doesn’t know what offsides is, and that he has to get onside on that play, well, that’s pretty much the definition of dumb.

Jim Kelly

Dan Marino

Joe Montana

 

I think that answers the question about IQ vs football smarts

I know Springsteen wrote this song and first recorded it, but The Band perfected it.

He tried to play well. Question why referees saw offside only after a goal..

Does Low hockey IQ work better?  Risto was a himbo.  Great athlete, not much else.  Maybe Dahlin is following a similar trajectory.

Ill just say i like that version, too. This is first time I’ve heard it actually. 

 

And Dahlin will be fine. I like his love for UPL ❤️ 

[LGR4GM]

Dahlin needs 3 goals in the last 52 goals to tie his career high. He looks completely different the last 5 or so games, attacking space and using his agility and stickhandling to do some amazing things. His defensive gafs are being limited. 

Curious to see what he looks like after the Olympic break.
