Hey, at least he finally seems ready to reluctantly acknowledge that Dahlin is NHL ready --- he spent the first several months of the season saying Buffalo should send him down or back to Europe. Baby steps.

This is a much closer Calder race than people realize.

Petterson being over a ppg player makes him hard to catch. But Dahlin is having an unprecedented season in a few ways.
I compare it to Mike Trout’s rookie year when he finished second in the mvp voting because Cabrera had a triple crown. You couldn’t beat a triple crown in the voting even if the season Trout had was unprecedented in a few ways.
At the end of the day...hey you still had Mike Trout How mad could you really get?

Dahlin having to speak English really limited what he got to say. Swedish + English subtitles would've been better for him.

He’s now 6 pts away from having the 2nd highest points totals for an 18 year old defenseman in the entire history of the league.

Wow crazy, I didn't realize it was THAT rare in NHL history to have 18 year old defensemen put up 30+ points. Has only happened 7 times in history.

If he scored that PP goal on the side of the net, I think the Sabres win in OT.
Also, if he stays on the top PP for the rest of the season he'll hit 50 IMO. If he was on PP1 from the beginning he would have broke 50 for sure.
The kid is fun to watch. Wait until he packs on another inch, 10 pounds of muscle and improves his slapper from the point. He'll be a complete monster. Heck, he already is a high-end D.

Dude, isn't that now referred to as a Clapper?
I haven't played in years, so I'm not actually sure of that myself.....

He's great and all, but the first assist was a routine pass from the point to the half wall that any player at any level of pro hockey would have made.

My post might be a statement to stat watchers. These were his 16th and 17th secondary assists, i believe. Nearly half his points.

The 2nd is actually a flubbed one-timer on a 5 on 3. It was luck play. Either way, the kid played pretty well tonight. He helped them generate chances consistently, although he also did end up on the wrong side of the highlights due to a weird bounce off an Eichel pass that hit a refs skate on the PP that made him fall over trying to make the recovery (and was dead tired due to have been on for like 1:40 at that point for a PP).
