Am I suppose to be impressed by this list?

He also drafted Forsling too, wonder why that one was left out

 

[HanSolo]

That is because the commentators are pronouncing his name awkwardly every time.

That makes sense then. Apparently I've been pronouncing Dahlin wrong for a good long while.

 

[DieTomi]

Liljegren seems like he’s been hemmed in his own zone every shift. Not a good night from him outside from a few nice passes.

 

[Zybalto]

Dive?

Wut?

Try staying on your feet when someone takes away the skate you are leaning on, mid stride.

My bad on that one. I thought he went down from the first slash on the legs and didn't see the poke on the skate.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Jesus how many leafs fans are in this thread?

 

[Phil McKraken]

Every time Dahlin handles the puck in the defensive zone I feel safe, he constantly makes the right play so far. Really hard for forwards to knock him off the puck along the corners.

 

[DDRhockey]

Linus lindstrom is awful as 1st line center

 

[Sojourn]

Thankfully, you couldn’t miss noticing Dahlin even if they were speaking his name backwards.

He’s such a smooth skater. Reminds me a little bit of how Niedermayer skated, with the economy of motion. It’s like he knows how many strides he needs to take, and he won’t waste energy on more. Just very efficient and controlled.

 

[voxel]

Benning isn’t tanking he’s actively trying to make the playoffs. He’s just an incompetent gm that has created a tanking team

Sounds like Kevin Lowe. Signed useless free agents and built a soft small team. I guess you will be winning Dahlin after all

Does Pettersson still have a cold?

 

[Hyzer]

Does Pettersson still have a cold?

i mean it was stated yesterday he was sick so im assuming he still has a little bit of a cold

Sorry, didn't realize all the Leafs fans were supposed to be locked away somewhere. I'll do better next time

 

[firstemperor]

Zadina's been the best player on the ice for the 2nd so far, dangerous on multiple rushes already

 

[kudymen]

I am amazed by Prerost's ability to find a way how to hang among the personnel... Unbelievable

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Sweden stopped playing in the 2nd period.

 

[Chimpradamus]

You pronounce Dahlin like Daleen, with the l as in "linger".

 

[Sojourn]

I swear, Han, watch him skate. It’s a little different, and he doesn’t get as deep, but tell me it doesn’t remind you of Niedermayer a bit.

 

[Hemsky001]

Sweden stopped playing in the 2nd period.

I think it's rather the Czechs starting to look solid.

 

[me2]

Can we not turn this thread into a Benning's incompetence thread.

 

[gretskidoo]

Did Monten tell them to stop playing?

 

[firstemperor]

I swear, Han, watch him skate. It’s a little different, and he doesn’t get as deep, but tell me it doesn’t remind you of Niedermayer a bit.

His skating style is almost a carbon copy of OEL, right down to the stature, don't see the Neidermayer comparison though

 

[BalticWarrior]

Sorry, didn't realize all the Leafs fans were supposed to be locked away somewhere. I'll do better next time

I mean...i expected there to be more Swedes and Czechs.

 

[Snippit]

Nylander's lack of compete in his own end is noticeable

Yea he just gave up on a shift earlier........it wasn't long enough of a shift to show fatigue either.

 

[Hyzer]

Sweden decided to take a nap this period. wtf is going on
