'tis me, but I try to pick a song that I feel is right for the game.  Tonight was Won't Back Down.

I love the Sabredance.

They used to play it on the radio all the time when I was a kid.

Another highly enjoyable game with a lot to like from a bunch of different guys.  Good for them.

Hmmm, Marty's blue eyes are killing me inside.....☺️

Dahlin has become the player we hoped when he was drafted.  It has really clicked.  He was the best player on the ice.  

Our two most talented players, Mitts and Dahlin, we on full display tonight.  

Amazing job by DG and the boys coming home with 4 points on this trip especially after Edm blew them out of the building.  As much as I don’t like Butcher or Miller, both helped the Sabres keep up with the frantic pace that game was played at.

Now who does KA leave out West?

[Randall Flagg]

Happy that @dudacek gets a nice night with his wife, but I hope he has a way to watch this one back, because he appreciates Dahlin like few others do

Dahlin with the key 2nd goal's entry and pass and then the OT dagger. He looked incredible in this game.

I keep Hinostroza if I can't get a 3rd or more.

I think he's one of Kevyn's trade-then-resign candidates.

That’s always mentioned as a scenario and I feel like it never actually occurs.

The Sabres have done it a few times.  Matty Mo was the one that backfired.

Where's stink?  I mean Inky??? He hates Dahlin!!!

I’m not sure who this stinky inky is but I do know what the sticky icky is.  
 

 

Oh, Rasmus Dahlin is the greatest player in the history of sports. 

[Claude Balls]

Dahlin...."we're not backing down anymore". Love to hear it.

You think Mitts is one of the top 2?  Really?  I'd put Tage there, Skinner, Mitts?  I think that's wishful thinking, at least this season.  Maybe once he's truly back from injury.... maybe.

He’s fully bought in and imo becoming a leader.

Totally agree but i also think he deserved the criticism as well, he was really playing bad hockey before that, this is the Dahlin we were all hoping for and I love to see it.

I wouldn't say bad; more inconsistent. He'd have good games, bad games, mediocre games; had his confidence beat up a bit in November.

What really shows is that he lacks much of the hesitation he had pre-All Star game. He's committing to using the body to make plays, defending as well as attacking and elevating his partners. 

 

In a sense, Dahlin right now is playing as a Superstar should; consistently above average and making positive impacts on every game. Even Eichel never strung together this many 60 minute efforts in a 20 game period. (Eichel always had a tendency of having off-games and many games where he seemed to coast 2 periods and turn it on in the 3rd. Not literal coasting mind you, but never giving 100% shift after shift regardless of the circumstances.)

He is actually turning into "the *****". Not sure if that's good or bad, but he has turned the corner.

^ This, I like Hinostroza on the bottom 6. I wouldn’t get rid of him.

Dahlin gets a Roxette song from me every time he scores.

Are you people giving me the exceptions to the rule? Because it kind of feels like you’re proving my point.
