Jolene Dahlin Jolene Joleeeeeeeene

Well said. 2) was indeed when the hype was grandest: Adams was the toast of the town for a while when Tuch stripped Eichel. He was, as you say, excelling at the easy part

We didn’t have to make those trades. It’s like people take the fact we had to long form rebuild as set in stone. It was not. Eichel asked to be traded only after he got wind of Adams wanting to build thst way. Reinhart said he was open to a LT deal (under Adams). He owns the result because the deals themselves were a choice not an imposed handcuff. They are *professionals*. Their job is to convince them to stay. Remember when we were going to trade for Hellebuyck? Cheveldayoff sorted it out and signed him long term instead weighing a rebuild unwise

Eichel and the Tkachuks could be a bit of a problem for Canada

Defended him with a poke check really well on another. He was frustrating McDavid all night No power play time…if the coach gave him the ice time he deserves he’d have stood out even more. Considering opponent…I won’t say impressive - it’s what I’ve come to expect from RD

Meant what I said

Dahlin puts McDavid on his ass

Dahlin “you gotta be kidding me”

Love the Hip

Dahlin will look really good tonight watch

Dahlin on a 75 point 82 game pace as a D man this year while far and away our mvp in doing so. A phenom, who I fear we are wasting

- - - On a separate note, I’m sort of tired of hearing about how “talented” we are. Is team defence a talent? Is hockey sense a talent? Is navigating the ups and downs of a season talent? We sick snipe sometimes are are sitting 12th overall in goals. Hang the banner? We are awful at defence - playing in other zones than the offensive one also requires talent

As for the poll, options 1 and 5 should be side by side. Peas in a pod. Love and hate are two sides of the same coin. That’s passion, that’s sports. That’s life, really. That’s me and the Buffalo Sabres nowadays The true fear is neglect. Indifference. I haven’t had much luck being indifferent to this team and I don’t think that ever happens There’s one team. That’ll really all there is to it.

Well said

He can’t really pass, maybe they didn’t want a line where he’s the focal point considering his streakiness. Or it’s just outright sabres stench

This tournament might represent the first hockey game I’ve watched this year for a full 60 im sort of excited to care about hockey again tbh It’s also the first best on best since 2016, so that’s something the first chance guys like McDavid and Eichel have had to compete for their countries at the top level Not to mention Dahlin
