They are close homie!! The urge to add or tweak
- Buff36

it's tolerable

And Power has Granato as a coach, Dahlin had Hously and Krueger at the same age. This shouldn't be discounted
- turbo044

Housley and Steve Smith both had great reputations for their work with D.

Marty Wilford works with their D now?

When the Sabres are Skating and moving there feet, there's probably only 5 to 8 teams in the league that can skate with them right know and it's only gonna get better

watching this game

clearly a 1 line team if we make the playoffs

the bruins, canes, rangers or bolts would take us out in 5 aside from a hasek performance in net


get a 2 or 3 year fixture to upgrade, not a rental

How do you get this take from watching this game? All the lines have been playing solid.

Id be worried some about the youngins in the playoffs but thats why we have girgs and okposo. Put them on the line that struggling.

Caps in the shootout over the Pens.

Yeah he got good after the Sabres traded Risto...stopped watching him constantly turn the puck over

- Stripes77

Dahlin also had to transition to NA hockey. Just another obstacle to overcome.

A big ? here, what if Samuelssons's injury is more than the 10 day break that is coming up.

The gap right now isn't that big. It's easy to see it happening.
- Lunaion

Yes it is.

I know you have serious love for Power, and he's outstanding, but Dahlin has puck skills almost unlike any player, let alone defenseman I've ever seen.

His patience is unbelievable, and his ability to paralyze and freeze time is almost like a magic trick, as if he teleports to and from another dimension.

It's remarkable to watch nightly.

Then he immediately gets the label of injury prone player.

good d teams will shut down the top line

Our best night of faceoffs all season I guess.

Power doesn't have his flash, but has a lot of the same skills.

Hellebuyck having his usual excellent night in the middle of all of this.

I mean Boston has been a one line team for like 8 years now and it doesn't seem to matter to them

Well not what the ? Was really meant for
- Buff36

Yet still a perfectly legitimate answer to the question.

They play Boston they'll get shut down for sure, but so will a lot of teams. Boston is crazy good this year. Definite growth however. If you told me to start the year I would be this invested near February I wouldn't believe you

Might be one of the best games they have played this decade, and I’m not being the least bit sarcastic.

They are making one of the elite teams in the league look like a candidate for the Bedard sweepstakes

Think there both gonna be really good Dahlin and Power so why worry about who's better.

Power doesn't have his flash, but has a lot of the same skills.
- Lunaion

power is already better than myers was

Thought he skated today. Hopefully not too serious.

Yet still a perfectly legitimate answer to the question.
