    He was forcing a play that wasn't there.  He had an early outlet with 3 Crunch directly in front of him.  It would have taken some discipline to read and react but he's getting to the point where he needs to know. 

    Hopefully a season+ in Rochester with Taylor will help him learn he can't chop it forward and go get it against professional athletes.

    Idc about Potvin. It was a different era entirely.

    Agreed. Potvin''s 2nd season was 1974-75 when no defenseman watched video and the goalies stood up in tiny pads. There's no way to compare.

    After some research, the Isles scored 264 goals that year. The Sabres haven't even come close to 264 since they shattered it in the 2006-07 (over 300 goals!) post-lockout free-skate season. And our top-scoring defenseman that season was Campbell with 48 points in 82 games. Dahlin will be fine. There's a lot else to worry about with this lineup than our kid defenseman.

    Mitts with a terrible turnover at center ice.  Leads directly to a goal.  Amerks trail 5-4 with under 2 minutes left.

    Not so sure that was a terrible turnover. Mitts gets a takeaway in the defensive zone, moves it up, and then at the benches it's contested and way out of his reach and right to a SYR defenseman. And it goes the other direction. But it's hardly like Mitts had full control and gave it away. He's battling to move it up at the edge of his reach the entire time.
