LD Rasmus Dahlin (2018, 1st, BUF) Part 3

[Kcb12345]

Watching the Sabres game tonight and I love his physicality. Wish they'd play him more it feels like Ristolainen and Scandella are constantly out there

 

[Boxscore]

But to even be concerned about that is fairly premature at this point. 3 games, man. The kid’s 18. He’s a defenseman and has been playing his position very well so far. The offense will come.

You might be bang on but I can't stand Housley's face and Okposo bothers me more than poison ivy.

Can’t blame you on the Housley point, but as for Okposo, take a hot shower. Better than sex when you have poison ivy

 

[Kcb12345]

First career point alert

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Wish he would’ve cashed in that point blank chance

 

[1972]

I never expected him to be this good defensively. It’s a matter of weeks until he’s playing 25 a night.

 

[LaymanX]

if people want to pretend he's actually been good so far, I'll bring up stats that show how he's actually performed. For what it's worth I still think he'll figure things out pretty quick and become the best defenseman in the league one day, but he's still had a bad start

What kind of stats are we talkin' here?

 

[lawrence]

did someone actually just say dahlin will be like prime jake gardiner?

just when i thought id seen it all

hfboards.com members are known to make these passively degrading remarks.

We were told Pettersson will cap off as a Nugent Hopkins type.

Jesperi Kotkaniemi wil be a "decent second line player"

out right garbage members make these uneducated remarks.

 

[Boxscore]

As long as Housley is coach, Dahlin will be Vlasic, not Hedman.

 

[lawrence]

massive bust lololol

gold.

like why do you guys post garbage like this?

 

[Moskau]

He's already better defensively than Morgan Rielly. We just have to wait and see if it takes him 5 years to get the offense going on a stacked team.

Don't worry, Sabre fans will never have to deal with their team being stacked.

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

there aren't any perfect ways to look at a 3 game sample because it's too small anyway. What evidence do you have that he's been good though?

Try watching games instead of watching stats

try doing both

Great response.

Oh look, a leaf fan making zero sense. Thats new.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Oh look, a leaf fan making zero sense. Thats new.

you don't understand what it means to watch the games and look at stats? At least you can admit it, but it's pretty straightforward

Oh please, make it stop

Like watching him allow a breakaway?

This "stats dont matter"-thing is certainly entertaining, though.

Try watching games instead of watching stats

People can watch the same game and come to a different opinion about a player. That's useless. Stats > opinion of some random.

 

[DDRhockey]

Rielly is padding his points through leafs mighty offense

 

[Aladyyn]

He's already better defensively than Morgan Rielly. We just have to wait and see if it takes him 5 years to get the offense going on a stacked team.

That's kind of a pathetic bar to set for a prospect of Dahlin's calibre.

 

[ZEBROA]

How bad is his stats?

 

[Luminiferous]

Give me Heiskanen.

 

[ZEBROA]

Give me Heiskanen.

Thats not how it works...
