I don’t think Dahlin has been fine at all. He’s looked bad. He’s not the same Rasmus. Whether it’s a physical ailment or a a mental issue, he’s looked like garbage.

I’ve never quite understood listening to post game after losses. I’m not looking for a bad time.

Makes you feel fine

Check out this cool version of Summer Breeze

Apparently he sucks now. He is coming off his 2nd injury in less than 18 months. Could be rust, could be this is the new Jack.

I have not seen anything from Dahlin to suggest he is “ok”. He looks tentative, indecisive, not engaged. If Samuelsson wasn’t on the team, Rasmus would be firmly cemented as playing the worst on the backend this season. Thats not even considering what he got paid or the fact that he’s the newly anointed Captain. I’m very leery of his comfort in a leadership role.

We’re winning the math!!

There is no way this isn’t schtick. Who’s we? I don’t know if I’ve heard anyone from the team say anything about accountability. This is just armchair coach speak.

TNT it’s dynamite!

A couple former ‘Merks in the news

The ol’ operator error

Amari Cooper is fine but he always looks like a running back playing wide receiver to me.

Anyone else watching the Amerks on FloHockey? Streams have not been consistent. I’ve used the away stream for most of the time.

Hopefully Bishop takes over at some point this season. Markedly better foot speed and coverage instincts.

Sure I didn’t know Swedes were known as fighters.

Rapp and Hamlin’s foot speed is a problem. Both guys are heavy footed. They pop ya, especially Taylor but get lost in coverage because they can’t keep up. They were burned last night and will continue to get burned. I like that Rapp brings the lumber although it would be nice if he would stop scud missling his teammates. Constantly blowing up guys in the same uni.

I think that’s exactly what I want the team captain to do Take rights from the captain? All Krebs did was get hit and then get punched.

Only in Buffalo does this deserve its own thread. Clearly our captain is frustrated. I kinda like that he’s letting it out. Not sure about the execution. Do this in games please. (Yes I know he hits people, be dirty, irritate the opposition)

I just hope the Jests don’t get all uppity with their new coach as they seemingly hated the old coach.

Coaching matters
