  1. He’s a special talent, so I disagree with the last sentence. The bad coaching was always a temporary hinderance he merely needed to be unshackled from. It was at least reasonably likely he’d put it back together once that was resolved: that was a part of my contention with those wondering if he had been permanently damaged. Of course, some thought he was hamstrung with weaknesses even in spite of Krueger, even though he was firmly still in dev territory, which led to the wonky projections
  2. Did everyone get a look at this lol 😆🤣
  3. Dahlin leads all league d-men in assists - it’s nice having a player always in and around that perch
  4. What’s your current analysis of Dahlin and what he brings? Honestly just interested in your take, haven’t heard you elaborate on him in a bit I need to finish reading threads before chiming in. Good stuff. Jack’s playoffs must have carried a lot of water for you where that analysis is concerned for that particular player
  5. He’s wasn’t elite at the time, but a shocking amount of people (not here, I love you guys) online were inexplicably forgetting he was squarely in the time period where these players are developing, and were openly doubting whether he had any more give. I more so see it as these people who were having it both ways: if Krueger was such a clear negative impact, as they were saying, why were they keying on negative projections for Dahlin? The numbers guys chose the wrong numbers. That’s why it was funny - they couldn’t interpret their own data. Their arguments didn’t have an internal logical consistency in my perception, smart! Sabres twitter still hasn’t recovered. Maybe I’m cherry picking a bit, but as one who remained ardently a defender of Dahlin, I’m willing to be petty
  6. Deluca 500 nm mr McDonald had it I miss Deluca and his George Costanza avatar. By the time I started posting, he was already gone
  7. League already boring due to lack of transactions gets more boring
  8. Fair enough.
  9. I think we both know the answer to that mr pot ter
  10. I totally can now appreciate why he changed his name from Josh Selke WOW TERRIBLE
  11. 3-4 improved defence for the front 7 secondarily, we should be fine if it all clicks at once They didn’t try to, they are just inept
  12. UPL wouldn’t have slept well tonight without securing a .800 something sv% on the evening
  13. In Brawndo’s dimension he can see the ending point of the streak simultaneously so commenting on the “progress” of said streak as I do, in real time, is sort of beneath his sensibilities
  14. Dahlin extended his Apple streak to 6, not sure if it was MADE MENTION of
  15. Did he? I saw one segment where Colby was praising “dangling Dahlin”
  16. I’m honestly good with his current role: placeholder
  17. Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor
