If you are going to try and assign blame to players like you tried with the bold above, there's going to be a whole lot of complaints you should be posting about every single night.

You don't do that though. Only about Dahlin.

Just admit you don't like him as a player.

What was wrong with what I said, he missed a play at Center that led to a goal. And I am pretty sure I have called out a lot of these players for there play just not Dahlin. Never once did I say I didn't like him, I am hard on him because I want him to be the best for the Buffalo Sabres. I will just post the good stuff he does like some on here and won't say anything about the bad, we don't want that.

You are likely exaggerating the 140 games part. He was a disaster just a mere 25 games ago, and for the first 30 games last season.

36 is right, and those gasping at his game the last 20-ish are right.
It is ok to be balanced, his Zone Exits, Neutral Zone, and Sone Entries under control are becoming exceptional...and scoring/assist production as well.
Yet, he continues to have a lot more work to do defensively.

He'll get there and is developing very nicely under Granato, but he isn't "there" yet.

The reason the Sabres lost last nigh = Dahlin.

I have a hard time blaming a goalie that faces 47 shots when we only get 24 on the other goalie

if you get outshot 2:1 you deserve to lose even with Hasek in his prime

Dahlin to Detroit for Seider and Raymond, he’s a star who won’t want to extend. Get 2 high end rfa’s to endure Terry two times yacht years.

The reason the sabres were up 2-0? Dahlin

We lost because Dell is terrible.

If we had a real goalie I am convinced we would be at least 500

Cut the shots down to a respectable 30ish, and the Sabres win. Tough to blame a goalie when he's seeing 47 shots, I don't care who he is.

Could see the loss coming after Dallas tied it at 4. The penalty by Asplund that led to the 5th goal was just dumb.

if we had Vasilevskiy in net, he would look more like Carter Hart this year than a recent Vezina winner

Pach seems to think he is a good replacement for Larsson.

Larsson is twice the player Asplund is.

I actually miss Larsson's play

That's fine, he's bad.

Doesn't change the fact that your team isn't doing jack sh!t defensively in front of him to give him half a chance.

And blaming a guy that isn't an NHL caliber goalie is like blaming an electrician for not fixing your pipes correctly.
