Dahlin fights Krebs in practice

[Oddbob]

Who the heck hip checks a teammate in practice? I like Dahlin, but that is dumb to do in practice.

This is exactly what happens when you don't hire a DJ to play shitty zoomer music in practice!

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

It's in the video commentary from the folks involved - Krebs got him up high right before that. Dahlin went back at him.

 

[StrangeVision]

Dahlin not a fan of the Krebs cycle, apparently.

Krebs and Dahlin are two of the most fiery/competitive guys on the team. Personally, I'm glad to see this kind of passion in practice. The intensity level has been increased this year -- partly by Ruff, and partly because that's what the boys wanted. They basically said in their exit interviews last year, almost uniformly, that they needed more intensity and to be challenged more. Donny G was a good developmental feel-good coach, but they have a different attitude right now.

Krebs has actually been one of Buffalo's best forwards recently, and he is a known shit-stirrer. Dahlin is as competitive as they come, and he is surely not happy with his first 4 games.

By the way, the comments in this thread about Dahlin and Krebs show complete ignorance about both of these players both on the ice and off. I won't single anyone out, but most of you have no clue what you are talking about. I guarantee Krebs isn't seeking a trade, that he and Dahls are just fine, and that the rest of the team isn't bothered by this incident at all -- if anything, they are probably pleased with the emotion. Dahlin has been one of the emotional leaders of this team for a couple of years already. He will continue that as captain.

Now watch Guerin in practice, now this is violent

I guess Dahlin misunderstood what the captaincy should be about

Boys will be boys

The Atlantic division is pretty spicy this season

Boston vs Florida
Ottawa vs Montreal
Buffalo vs Buffalo

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

he signed a two year extension like RIGHT before the season started.....

 

[MOGlLNY]

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.

I love it

That's the first "generational" move I've seen from Dahlin.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Thanks god it wasn't against this one.

 

[Shocker]

Lmao, so Krebs said he highsticked Dahlin accidentally earlier and Dahlin did this later? What a nutcase

 

[5 Minute Major]

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

Exactly.

Definitely not on a professional level but I was a
Pitcher in high school and dusted off my best friend at practice after we had an argument earlier. Shit happens.

He is still my best friend and was the best man at my wedding years ago.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

It happens.

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

Pretty sure every nhl hockey practices have cameras or reporters present.

It doesn't happen often if the most recent example you can give me is from 20 years ago.

Looks like Dahlin tried to take his knee out to me lol sounds like it was on purpose too.

Maybe he hates the guy eh?

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

Nothing wrong with this but if I’m Dahlin I probably don’t try and take his legs out with a hit. He should’ve just given him a few knuckle sandwiches from the start if he was going to lose his cool

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

yeah it happens but it’s also embarassing. Keep your emotions in check you’re a grown man. The hit was just plain stupid.

If it was heat of the moment and he started a scrum right when it happened it’s one thing

Maybe he should have addressed it at the time. I don’t disagree. But maybe he didn’t process it right away because it’s a practice and he stewed a bit and then acted.

Either way, these men are playing a rugged sport and shit happens. As a Sabres fan I find it refreshing that there is some intensity at practice. Good on Krebs for not giving a f*** who Dahlin is and good on Dahlin for giving it back.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Krebs cycle?

 

[Jeune Poulet]

The kind of captain we all deserve

But not the one Buffalo needs right now.

 

[Jee]

Imagine throwing a hip check during a practice, Dahlin is a clown lmao
