Jeff's also awesome.

Had a hell of a game tonight. As did Dahlin.

Team responded well to Donnie calling out their effort against Ottawa.

Do you like anyone in this organization beyond RJ?

[eman]

Maybe a little tougher. He got ragdolled on the winning goal and collapsed like a sack and stayed down while the Avalanche all headed up ice. 

 

[Norcal]

Fun one today. Couple bounces could have changed the result.

The boys played hard and I thought good overall. 

Tage3 was sweet!! 

[Huckleberry]

Yeah refs really screwed us.    Should have had 2 penalties more in the 3rd.

But I loved the game, was fun to watch at least.

Do you really think they had time to check him in the .7 seconds between his shot and Cozens coughing the puck up?

Dylan and Casey looking seriously overmatched that period.

KO and VO were OK, but the top line is the only line that deserved to be on the ice at this level.

Shame Toker is Tokin’ because Kuemper looked like a soft white underbelly that period.

in short yes.  I am a firm believer in playing the man.  The preoccupation with positioning leaves the top players open.

Not interference. Two guys come together near a loose puck. Dahlin, not shockingly, lost the battle. Then he got high stuck.

Bilingual I see. Pennsyltuck or Canuck? It appears as if Rob Ray is helping you with your language skills.

Ok and he gets bodied all the time , hence why I said bigger and tougher. There is your more.

Outside of a play he was high sticked in the face on, he didn't get "bodied" hardly at all. What does bodied mean btw because honestly you sound like yet another Dahlin hater.

[Kr632]

Anyone see Skinner turn around in tunnel and yell what looked to be "you f***** up* at someone on the ice.

Dahlin is 6'3" but go on, tell me more. 

So what? He lost the battle.

[thewookie1]

The fact the Avs scored directly due to an ignored penalty that had 2 different penalties just leaves me outraged. God I wish Granato would rip the refs in his press conference like he did during the game.

 

They deserved a better result

Old stereotypes die hard.

He won a lot of battles tonight. Played hard on the body regularly. Made smart exits with the puck.

There was no battle, he was high sticked in the face and halled to the ice. The puck wasn't even there. 

Holy ***** some of you have Dahlin Derangement Syndrome. If doesn't play the most perfect game ever, every single game y'all crawl out of your holes to bitch. 

Not worth my Saturday

I think he may have been shaken up but could have been selling the penalty but the ref decided not male the call.  Typical third period officiating.

No. What's there to like? If the players down through the years had a fraction of Rick's passion, talent work ethic and most of all consistency, we'd need a new roof on the arena to accommodate the banners.

Dahlin is started to get much more physical. He is 21 he is coming along in all aspects of his game including physical play.

and the kind of non-call we are all getting used to seeing against Buffalo unfortunately. (and actually, with some frequency this season)

Relax.  Go out and have a nice dinner and an adult beverage.  Enjoy life.  You will make no head way with those fixated on hating a player.

I don't even listen to that stuff anymore.

Dahlin has moved his game up this year a whole helluva lot.  

21 years old and there's so much more growth to come.

True.  Bad teams get this treatment.

What is it with you? Everyone I mention Dahlin I'm a hater? I like his game since the all star break but he gets pushed around aka bodied alot for a guy his size, you can tell me otherwise, you probably will but I see what I see and you see what you see.

He has shown flashes of physicality since he came back from the All-Star game. He is only 21 and hopefully he adds more beef to really hand it back. Once the playoffs start and the Sabres are in them in the future, it is much more physical and extra beef will serve him well.

So a player has to be RJ-level to be likeable?
