Dylan Cozens first NHL fight

[57special]

Oh, that will fix everything in Buffalo.

Next time Cozens is feeling frisky he should go beat up the management. That's the Sabres true opponents.

I assume you’re pointing out the difference between the two?

I'm pointing out that Eichel is also the kind of guy who fights for his team

The guy I was responding to was making it sound like Eichel/the players were part of the Sabres "culture problem" in Buffalo (since he's the captain) when he's had the responsibility of carrying the team on his back since he was drafted. The players aren't the issue in Buffalo, it's the coaching, management, and ownership

["culture problem" is in quotes because the Sabres have a lack of a competent coach problem, not a culture problem, since the best record the team has produced was with Dan Bylsma, the last coach the Sabres hired who had long-term NHL head coaching experience before coaching the Sabres]

he answered Dhalins request.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Wow, what a hero.

Starting a fight with a non-fighting European, who was not prepared for it at all.

He must feel like a real man now.

Maybe the "non-fighting euro" shouldn't have slashed then taken liberties with Eichel before he got punched in the face? Look like what set Eichel off (apart from the slash) is Eriksson Ek checking Eichel into the glass at an awkward angle pinching his shoulder/elbow right before he threw punches

See, I thought you posted the clip to show what a coward Eichel is and to show that maybe Cozens is more the energy the Sabres need.

I’m not being sarcastic either. Posting a video of Eichel jumping someone is nothing close to what Cozens did.

You should get your eyes checked, because Eriksson checked Eichel's shoulder/elbow into the glass after the puck was already gone before Eichel started swinging

I'm not being sarcastic either, get your eyes checked

Ah, alright. Good talk.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

I honestly thought Cozens was going to get merked by Lindgren and he was going to be in serious trouble sprawled out half dead on the ice but wow he really took the W

How so? Cozen is 6'3 and Lindgren is like 5'11, I don't care what the internet says. He's not 6 ft. Just like Patrick Kane isn't as "tall" as it says on NHL.com.

 

[MrThomas]

Go Yukon Go!! Love this kid

 

[Goon42]

sick fight

 

[CanadienShark]

Those are the types of fights I like in hockey. Cozens is awesome.

 

[OysterForever]

Now Eichel is ready to be traded to NYR, and take place next to Lindgren in the locker room.

 

[trick9]

I like how Lindgren drops the gloves and then just stands there taking punches.

 

[ItWasJustified]

Read the title and was expecting some hugging and the linesmen getting involved right away, but this was a real fight.

Good on them both.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Lindgren should learn to fight, got tuned up by Kadri too

 

[The Assclown]

That kind of intensity is just what the Sabres needed. I want them competitive again as a fan of another Atlantic team.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

I’m not a fan of fighting, but I hope scraps like this never entirely disappear. Just helps clarify who has the stones and who doesn’t, who’s gonna try and step up in the future. My man can handle himself too, goddamn.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Nice scrap. That’s the most passion I’ve seen on the ice during a game in like 3 years.

Buy him a beer.

Only buy him it if you're in Canada. Because apparently you can be shot at for your country in the US for three years before you can take a shot.

Skill and intensity are a deadly combo.

 

[bigdog16]

He will lose interest in Buffalo and passion for the game by next year, just like the rest of em

good fight though

Gotta wait a year for that. Legally speaking. Or buy him one in Canada once the border opens.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I thought he did alright against Kadri. He could've handily beat a rookie, but then again he's only in his second season, second fight, and Cozens might be a good fighter.

 

[Tiger Svoboda]

How is Cozens’s play so far? Is he ready? Points are limited.

He hasn't been perfect (I mean nobody on this team is close in that regard) and got scratched along the way but responded positively (so far) and actually plays like he gives a shit while showing that he does have talent. Obviously only time will tell but I'm excited to at his player and character progression
