He has not garnered the attention yet, but a few more games like this and it may get mentioned. The stats are ramping up for Dahlin and the highlight reel as well. Dahlin plays a tougher position, is a year younger and has a physical side to his game. I am biased, but he gets my vote if he builds on this last game.

Wow, huge confidence builder. I was at an OHL game, thus missed this one. UPL had an easy win for Sudbury, looks good. An earlier comment about checking the standings caught my attention because I am doing that a lot now. They are a playoff contender. In the past few years, I would already be looking at and anxiously awaiting new draft lists. What a difference. Let's go Buffalo!

Silky Mitts!

Thank goodness Lehner is gone.

Sam needed a puck to the face to get him going.

Sam! Nice stretch pass by Dahlin.

Jack is back!

Good shift by Sam.

Sportsnet feed showed Jack and Schaller hit their legs. Looked innocent enough, hope they show it again.

I've heard it a thousand times that the game is not played on paper, but the Canucks do not come across as a division leader. Travis Green is getting kudos for his coaching, could be a large part of it. Let's beat these guys. Set the tone for when we meet our expansion brothers in the 50th anniversary season Stanley Cup final.

I think that game shows what he can do. I think he can hit that level a few times a season to give us secondary scoring. I also love that he can play all three forward positions, PP and PK. He is our Swiss Army knife.

The team is in the playoff discussion. I hope he has individual success, but the team comes first. He is a big part of it and has assumed a leadership role he will improve on every game. I don't want him winning the Art Ross while the team misses the playoffs. Not dismissing McDavid's accomplishments, but most of them prefer team championships. He probably is not elite but darn close. Dahlin's growth will also bring out more from Jack.

The Habs are not as good as their record, let's show them.

Nice shift by Dahlin.

Dahlin looks like a QB out there. Give him the role.

Wrong Rasmus on PP1

Nice little spin play by Dahlin.

Just need 3 goals, well within their means.

Okposo was driving play on a few shifts, they need more of this. Marty talking about that.

Can't believe they lost to the Sens last game.

Glad to hear all of the comments, keep it up folks. I'm at my son's hockey tournament in Toronto, can't watch the Sabres.

Get back on the win wagon. Dahlin quarterbacks the PP to a couple of goals.

Let's Go!

Leafs fans will have to pause the engraving of his HOF plaque. Stanley Cup parade is still on schedule.

Finished reading the entire thread, thanks to all for the info. I watched TSN highlights and they only showed a few Sabres plays. Momentum. That's a powerful thing. They will have these comebacks in their memory banks and become more relentless. Missed the game because I was at an OHL game, watched Pekar play. He got a nice shorty and had a few bursts of speed. He may develop into something.
