He's a leader .. no doubt .. but I'd think Alex Tuch would make a perfect capitan. Let Dahlin carry that A.

Great interaction between the four of them and a bit of insight into the differences and similarities between Owen and Rasmus. Great stuff, much appreciated. Should be posted in the Owen Power thread too in my opinion.
[edit:] and you did post it there too, my bad. Great find!
Cheers

Did they short 26 on a 3rd assist last night or am I imagining ?
This chance from his knees last night was also incredible, if it would of gone in I would of ran outside screaming.

Tuch i feel is a great guy in the dressing room a happy feel good guy but I don't se him as a leader who rally the troops and take a game by scruff of the neck when really needed but what do i know. He will properly be the Captain by default, just being from the area and American goes long way.

Agreed - well worth the listen! Definitely a lot more relaxed than your typical interview and with guys asking each other questions who both get it really helps get things you wouldn't normally hear. Both Dahlin and Power are awesome guys and we're blessed to have them.

That was an awesome pass, wonder if they inspired him with the classic Paddy O'Toole bombs from the crease to Tavares.

He brings the most consistent effort, calls out the team, is the first to stick up on the ice physically and is also the best player.
bookmark it, he will call out the team before an important playoff game like Messier, he will be that kind of guy.

He is second in goals scored by a defenseman thus far this season, five goals ahead of the guy in third. Edit - my apologies, was just looking at total points and goals scored. He's tied for second with Makar.

If he continues to attack the net like he has in the last few games, I could see him jamming himself into Phil's run as best goal scoring seasons by a Sabres defenseman.

Ya but when he actually takes the puck and undresses someone the goalie always saves the puck.
I really wasn't complaining about his place in the point standings more about when he makes a highlight reel play the goalie seems to save it. He is just missing out on that finish.

Shoulda got one game in
He had the same issue when he pulled those moves in the SHL as well. In general I think it's very difficult to score goals like that, typically to beat a goalie in todays game you need to force movement, often times by passing across the central line. When Dahlin does his dekes through the defenders, on his way to the net the goalie has enough time to get settled.
Perhaps he needs to take a page out of Tages playbook and deke the goalie as well.
Personally, I have, ever since he started doing that in the SHL, hoped that he would use the dekes to open up space for his team mates, and pass to them, rather than go for a shot himself.
It will be interesting to see if he can figure it out.

Rasmus Dahlin on All-Star snub: 'I guess the fans want to see forwards'
"I guess the fans want to see forwards. It is what it is," Dahlin told The Buffalo News. "I'm going on vacation and I'm going to have a good time, but, obviously, I want to be there. That's just how it goes."
No dahlin nhl wants to push their players they deem marketable matthews didn't even win the fan vote
What will it take for Dahlin to get Hart recognition?
He is leading this team into a playoff run. Take him off, this team would be well under .500

Rasmus has gone Super Saiyan VI!
This is how I feel, and he's my favorite player in Buffalo since Hasek. His tenacity, his ability to stick up for his teammates in all situations. He is just as much as an asshole with his physicality; see Nieto hit. But, he has as much skill as anyone on the team.
