I could get talked into taking Georgiev.

The Norris is usually about who scores the most. He will get his share of points but I want to see continued growth in his defensive play, physical play and the ease with which the puck exits the Sabres end. He will be a better all round Dman than Fox and Makar in my opinion. The way he can control the game at both ends is wonderful. If Power reaches his potential and Mule keeps improving his shutdown game while adding a touch of scoring, the Sabres will never have a weak pairing on the ice. Scary good.

Roman Josi would like to have a chat with people touting the young guns.

Right on, I did not look at all of their numbers. Heiskanen was touted as a future Norris guy after their deep playoff run, not necessarily because of his numbers.

Good analysis. I like your comment on Hughes. It wasn’t that long ago when people were lamenting that everyone had these “multiple” Norris winners like Heiskanen, Hughes and Makar. Their offensive numbers are still ahead of Dahlin’s but he will get his points too. I am biased but his defensive game is better than those guys and his physical play has brought another element to making him a dominant Dman. These guys are all capable of winning one or more but I’ll keep Dahlin. He can create as much as them but he now looks a tough guy in the eye like Clint Eastwood does.

Called it!

Give Dahlin the puck.

His sister dressed him up.

Tough call. Looked like Mule swatted at Horvat’s feet with one hand but took him down.

Miller is actually playing OK. I still want him gone.

Agree. It would be nice if they had Keith Tkachuk deals with them. Deadline trade and sign back with Buffalo in July.

This is past my bedtime but I feel good. C’mon boys, bring it on.

Dahlin pulling moves that no one else does. Showing Pettersson how to shake and bake.

Mitts is feeling it tonight. Welcome back.

Gotta be selfish on that one Vinnie.

Killer B pairing, Butcher and Bryson.

Mitts in on both goals.

Dahlin in deep, Skinner!

Aw sh**. Nice that Dahlin took down big tough Schenn.

Yeah, I don’t want Dahlin to be a Lady Byng candidate.

Good first period. Miller and Butcher were not a tire fire.

Rayzor demonstrating Miller’s defensive prowess, promoting him as a Norris candidate. LOL

I think it was January.

Miller was key to that goal, it was basically all him.
