Dahlin fights Krebs in practice

[Frank Drebin]

McDavid should start a fight in his next practice. Maybe beat the shit out of Nurse or something so he starts earning at least 25% worth of his contract. Or Skinner for being an absolute sieve.

Random thought popped into your head?

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Dahlin throws the hip check and goes right after him. Looks like he was pissed about something before that play even started.

i look forward to dahlin beating more of his teammates and the drama

Ruff said Krebs got him the drill before with something he didn’t like so he decided to get him back and then they popped off about it. They hugged it out and laughed about it after practice.

It’s the first time there’s been any care or life in a Sabres practice in years.

A positive sign.

Dahlin was throwing some seriously reckless punches. I don't see what's positive about it in the sense that it's definitely the most intense practice fight I can recall. Looked like a bar brawl lol.

Good for Dahlin, I would be mad as hell too if my teammates were invisible against opponents but somehow showed up to finish checks during practice, lol.
Sparks can get the fire going.

Teammates fight. It happens. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill.

This. Garland and Joshua were fighting each other last year right before the season started. It showed their passion to win but it also brought them closer together. After their little dust up they both had fantastic years and formed one of the best 3rd lines in the league last season. Now they love playing together.

Teammates scrapping each other doesn't always mean a bad thing, sometimes it means both players are on edge, sick of losing and showing their frustrations to win.

Anyone making a big deal about this has never played competitive sports.

Bullshit.

There's getting into it with a teammate (even physically) and then there's going for a dirty hit before wailing on the guy. That's pretty alarming.

The kind of captain we all deserve

This is my assumption.

Bad look for Dahlin.

 

[OVO16]

Throwing that kind of a hipcheck in practice is actually diabolical im crying

 

[DJJones]

What are all these comments defending this?

Your captain just went for a cheap shot and then attacked a teammate. Embarassing.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Fights happen between teammates. Whatever. It’s generally not a good look though. What is more eyebrow raising is the low hit that Dahlin throws and then going after Krebs. Would that fire be cool if Dahlin put Krebs on the IR for months with a LBI?

 

[BLNY]

How often is a captain fighting one of his teammates?

Before or after there were cameras at practices?

 

[jj cale]

1) Dahlin continues to confirm that he's a doofus.

2) I refuse to believe that this just happens. There had to be tension that finally boiled over this morning, teammates/friends/coworkers don't just attack one another. If there's nothing between Dahlin/Krebs beforehand, and Dahlin really just has that short of a fuse, then what does that mean? He feels like now he's the Captain he can get away with it? He ceratinly didn't seem sorry.

He's been my number one hated guy even before he set foot in the league when he was crying after the gold medal game at the WJC and nothing he has done since entering the n.h.l has made me change my opinion of him.

Good player but a baby who has a shit attitude.

 

[End on a Hinote]

Me: "Wow, who knows what kind of deep dark drama that is happening with these guys behind the scenes to cause such an incident!"

Reality: "Dude, watch the hip check, yo!"

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Idk yall. Raymond fought Chiarot last season, then proceeded to play the best hockey of his life the rest of the season.

I'm not so sure. Usually practice fights spontaneously happen during some tough board battles.

But this feels different. Dahlin was holding a grudge for something, threw a dirty low hit then jumped Krebs. This seemed alot more calculated. That's not a typical practice fight.

 

[Tob]

I bet krebs asks for a trade. Hes no prize but his Sabres career is going nowhere if dahlin keeps beating him

For real. "Pretty horrible look"...puh-lease.

Edit: Did some of you just not watch the whole 90 second video? Krebs high-sticked Dahlin which he didn't like, Dahlin got him back, frustrations brewed and they threw some punches. Dahlin didn't just snap out of nowhere.

I don't know what kind of sewing circles you boys normally hang out in but teammates/friends/siblings will fight every now and then. Yeesh.

 

[dirtydanglez]

what the f*** dahlin

 

[DearDiary]

The beatings will continue until morale improves

 

[TonySoprano]

Lindy Ruff always ran a glorified crew

 

[Laus723]

Krebs had it coming, guaranteed.

In some places, there are no cameras on during practice so you never hear about.

I remember koivu getting into it with ribeiro. Ribeiro to this day still talks negatively about Saku so I think there was more to it than a sprite practice

 

[Hunter368]

No big deal, who hasn't throw a punch at a friend while playing even pick up game
