Sit your best player on PP and OT


Genius.

Ekholm and Hedman were gassed. Just bad coaching. Dahls earned a shift.

Hedman was turned inside out and had a bad turnover…plus he looks half the speed of Rasmus at this point. Ekholm isn’t Dahlin’s level anyway.

This was a reap what you sew result.

I don't think I saw Karlsson out there either. Why put your 2 smoothest skating defenseman out there against the fastest players in the world?

Fun game, if the NHL could provide that and honest refereeing people might actually watch it

Well…I have reasons I wouldn’t play Karlsson in that spot. Hamming it up for two turnovers on the PP for starters.

Coming here to say this. Does Hallam have a beef with him? His ice time was third-pairing.

EK and Forsling both had an OT shift. But Hedman needs to change cuz those legs aren't fresh that late into those shifts.

My concern is that Dahlin's back tightened up and this tournament wears him out and he has to shut it down in the last third of the season. He is far and away the Sabres best skater.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Did Dahlin piss in Hallam's coffee? Criminally underutilized tonight.

Looked a bit tight first two shifts, but thought he had a superb defensive game thereafter. Stymied McDavid a few times while letting Gus see his shot from well out for easy saves.

And the Sabres lose 20+ straight without him?

Given the pedestrian quality of this draft, yeah.
