Dahlin fights Krebs in practice

[JianYang]

Low bridge open ice hits to the knees happen all the time in practice? Fights for sure, but not kind of hit. Those hits never happen in practice. That was a very dirty and dangerous play.

You're putting words in my mouth. I never talked about low bridge or "happens all the time"

Obviously, there's going to be something to precipitate the altercation.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

That’s a f***ing crazy hit to make on a teammate in practice…wt actual f.

You’re gonna get jumped if you make that hit in a real game on an opponent.

 

[Bender Duster]

It happened in Winnipeg; Wheeler and Chiarot threw some fists and then the team went to the conference final. Buffalo is about to heat up!

Yeah this one is a bit different because usually when this happens it’s the guy who gets hit or cross checked that starts throwing mitts. Here poor Krebs is just skating drills and gets hip checked and whaled on!

 

[benfranklin]

I was skeptical of naming him the captain simply because he is your best player and 4 games in he is showing me I was right.

Its one thing to fight like brothers ad wrestle. Its another to throw a reckless injurable hit then follow it up with wild haymakers.

Good for Dahlin, good for Krebs and good for the Sabres.

 

[Mogo]

Team mates will fight .. but.. Captain doing this?

Saku did it with Ribeiro. Absolutely not saying Krebs is anything like that asshole.

 

[TheDoldrums]

The hit is worse than the fight. Legitimately insane to throw such a dangerous hit on a teammate in practice, Krebs could've really been hurt there. You usually only see stupid plays on a teammate like that in rookie camps from undrafted morons trying to make a name for themselves.

Fights start because guys get heated during board battle drills. No player ever low bridges a teammate with an open ice high speed dangerous hit. Then attack the guy he just low bridges. What Dahlin did never happens. He literally tried to injure a teammate with that hit. Then he attacked the guy. Very strange.

Good for Dahlin, good for Krebs and good for the Sabres.

It’s good for the Sabres that their captain tried to take out the knees of a teammate with a dirty low bridge hit? Fights happen in practice. This type of hit never does.

 

[SUX2BU]

something out of nothing

 

[BFLO]

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?

No one would notice if Krebs were out of the lineup for months. He’s the 13th/14th forward at the moment.

I like spirited practices. You often find that the most successful teams run hard practices and that should include physicality if league games are going to be physical too.

 

[TS Quint]

Eh, the definition of madness is trying the same thing again and again, and they hadn’t tried fighting each other up until now.

Not since Kane left.

His teammates would certainly notice if that Dahlin low bridge to Krebs’ knees took him out for months. It was a stupid play by Dahlin. He didn’t like something Krebs did earlier. Square off and fight. That happens in practice. Going after another guy’s knees never does. Dahlin is definitely on thin ice with his teammates after that.

Even if it was a 35 year old AHL 4th liner it wouldn’t matter. Having a player, let alone the captain, purposely trying to take a teammate’s knees out and then jump him is terrible optics. At least Krebs is alright.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

That proves my point that it's not a good look for Dahlin. The Jets had one of the worst locker rooms in the league, and Wheeler even got stripped of his captaincy.

The coach, team, and Krebs himself was totally fine with it, not sure why you care more than them.

No one who matters actually thinks he was trying to take out his knees, or that it was a particularly dangerous play.

Just because you say he was trying to take out his knees doesn't make it true. You are being so overly dramatic, it's ridiculous.

 

[I know]

Not looking good, Buffalo is imploding. This could even lead to relocation.

It was a high speed open ice hip check to the knees. What exactly do you think Dahlin was trying to accomplish by a low hit to the knees in that situation? Guys never do that in practice. It’s rarely seen in games now because of how dirty and dangerous it is.

Sabres sure love their dirty hits.
