No way I trade Dahlin for either Marner or Nylander, regardless how many picks they throw in.

I never get tired of seeing Toronto lose in 7.

Rod ***** the bed, challenging the tying goal even though it was reviewed, and clearly legit. On the subsequent PK, Bergeron gets highsticked. Canes were in complete control, until Rod lost his senses.

Pat LaFontaine.

Krueger? Oh, the guy who pretended to be a hockey coach. Almost forgot he existed. Thank god….

Well no, but he strikes me as more of a passer, than blueline cannon, so… I like his number of helpers, and I think 10-15 goals will be fine, as long as he keeps setting up plays.

Must’ve been the 06-07 season, too lazy to check 😎

Take a friggin’ timeout….

While I don’t believe Russian players should be banned, I’d certainly appreciate it if Ovie would change his Instagram profile picture, to one where he’s NOT posing with a murderous psycho!

I liked his hit by the bench, a few shifts later.

Way to piss that one away. Good work. Outstanding.

Tuned in, down 2-0, heavily outshot and saw 2 minutes worth of possible bodyplays in the o-zone passed up for lame stickswiping. Sorry, no thanks. My time is better spent elsewhere.

I heard they’re talking to Ville Leino - Apperently he can play goal too! At least, that’s what he says 😎

And especially on breakouts, physical play along the boards to impede players skating out if their zone, is extremely important. No need to destroy just run into him, keeping him from clearing the zone, or in this situation, going to the bench. Yet, all we see are those lame stick swipes night after night after night…..

It doesn’t even need to be a bodycheck - Just get your body between the skater and the blueline. He can’t skate through a player! But no…. Lame stick swipe after lame stick swipe….

I am so so sick of seeing these guys pass up opportunity after opportunity to play the body on the forecheck, and instead do a lame stick swipe, puck squirts through to the neutral zone AND the forward breaking out is absolutely unhindered in skating it down. Take the freakin’ body! You don’t need to destroy the guy, but FFS at least keep him in his own zone for extra two seconds, and give your team time to get in position 🤬🤬🤬

Or defensemen….

Until they ask for a trade, or get dealt for 2nd rounders at the deadline…

It’s not fair to call someone a bust, when he’s only played for the worst team in the league, but… Dahlin, at least so far, is a bust. His possesion game is poor, his defensive play is poor, his offensive game is forgettable. I think he simply hasn’t been able to adjust to the smaller ice surface. Less space, less time.

His defensive play, as many offensive minded blueliners before him, is lacking. To put it mildly. I’d be willing to live with that if he was showing something on offense, but that too is lacking. Not sure we can blame him though, I sure wouldn’t want to come through the system in this organisation. Buffalo is where careers go to die.

And Dahlin was still too far away from him. I’m not saying he should mug the guy, but giving an advancing forward that much space, is just a poor defensive play.

Your’re right. His lack of gap control on Raymond in OT was the stuff of legends.

Dahlin not exactly looking like a no. 1 pick. Again.

Not sure I follow? Was just pointing out it’s been around for a long time.

No arguments there, couldn’t agree more.
