Player Discussion Rasmus Dahlin Part 4 - D (1st Overall, 2018, Frölunda HC, SHL)

[NotABadPeriod]

I would have picked Thompson to be the Sabres rep, especially since position didn't seem to be too important for other divisions (Metro went 5/3 F/D, but Central and Pacific both went 7/1). But nobody cares about defense in the All-Star Game anyways, so the criticisms of Dahlin really aren't applicable in that setting and his skill could really be fun to watch.

Nah, Sabres Twitter will be savaging him for whatever goals get scored against him in that waste of time skills competition. Can't wait.

Remind me never to check the replies on Sabres twitter again

Sometimes I think we live in an alternate reality that occasionally merges

Sabres Facebook is worse. They don’t like me there

You used the sarcasm emoji, but you know that's actually going to happen

The sarcasm was only about the "can't wait".

Also, it's typical that Dahlin's hit on Cousins is nowhere to be found on Twitter. Bah. Slackers.

I saw the young man at a restaurant last night. My wife wanted to take a picture of me with him, but I didn't want to be that guy.

You will regret it big time very soon

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Dahlin, looks more composed every game. Yes, there are mistakes, but his attack in the zone is exactly what I've been wanting to see. Let him drive the play, and then make the right reads to set up his team mates. Congratulations on making your first All Star selection as a Sabre. Continue to prove EVERYONE wrong.

Thank god we never made a deal for those "untouchables"

 

[sabremike]

Sir you EARNED this:

 

[UnleashRasmus]

His goal in the Dallas game is the exact thing I wanted to see, when he was sputtering at the beginning of the season. I have to say that this is the player we finally needed. Driving the offense and putting the offense on his back. Continue to play like this, and the Eriksson comparisons are very very within sight.

 

[Kyndig]

He tends to get a lot of bullshit soft penalties and that cross-check call is another example of that. If the league called that a penalty every time, we would be looking at a permanent 3 on 3 every game.

Bump. I've never seen a player get so many bullshit penalties.

Skinner got boarded and they try to hit him again while hes down. Dahlin throws him to the ice. PENALTY.

Dahlin steals the puck away and gets hauled down. PENALTY.

Similarly, end of the first period, he's getting punched and NO PENALTY.

 

[Gabrielor]

Another solid game by Ras.

Dahlin will be a good top 4. Power will be better but it’s nice to have both.

 

[Faceboner]

Dahlin despite a rough start a rough start has been playing like a true no. 1 and still looks to be on his learning curve still

 

[dortt]

This is the level where we need Dahlin to be playing. Actually making a difference.

Tied for the team scoring lead with 28 points at the halfway point

If Power is even better than this, we will have one hell of an elite #3. Either way, we will have that top #1 and elite #3 that teams can only wish for

 

[Willgamesh]

Dahlin will be a good top 4. Power will be better but it’s nice to have both.

You can't honestly even come close to making that assumption yet...

Power will be better . Dahlin still good tho

 

[Zach716]

Power will be better . Dahlin still good tho

 

[debaser66]

the hater crowd has moved from bust to top4

 

[dasaybz]

Power will be better . Dahlin still good tho

If Power is better than Dahlin then I will be so pumped. Dahlin is starting to look like a superstar. What would that make Power then?

A quasar?

 

[Sabreality]

Capping a 21/22 yr olds ceiling with the talent Dahlin has is never a good idea, but its classic hockeys 'future'. Love em as a prospect, bust/cap em at 22. Power has proven nothing as a pro, but is the shinier new toy, same as it ever was.
