Rasmus Dahlin calls out his teammates

[Devil Dancer]

Team needs Bruce Boudreau.

Pretty angry reaction from Jack Eichel to that comment as he agrees and just can’t figure out what the team needs after two straight games being shutout.

Sabres play the Rangers next. Maybe Eichel can fight Lafreniere next game?

 

[HaNotsri]

Is he out there blocking shots, throwing hits, making great plays, never taking a shift off and even trying to fight someone in his weight class ?

If people answer no to any of those, then the playing calling out his team needs to shut the f*** up.

Dahlin didn't really call anyone out. Seeing the whole interview he was more of a young player at a loss about what to do. Came across more as sad than angry.

make coaching changers...

I’m down to see that. Nothing against Laf but that’s an unexpected fight, so I have no problems seeing that.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Wait...Dahlin doesn't have a single even strength point this season?

I don't think the Sabres have scored a non-powerplay goal all season

 

[Stephen]

So you’d fight Farabee at the end of a long shift?

If Dahlin wanted to be an inspiration to his team there would be nothing wrong with taking that fight. But I'm getting the sense that he wanted someone else to do that based on his comments.

"Someone do something around here."

It’s Krueger. He’s bench him for the next month if he fought

That's a very strange excuse...

Dhalin and eichel somehow needs to lead the team. Parallel problems in Vancouver, when pettersson is not leading the team offensively, best players need to be their “best” players or else they will struggle. Pettersson struggle team is 2nd worst team in the league. The fact that dhalin is ready to fight shows he cares and wants to win.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Tied with Ottawa with 15 points for worst team in the NHL....on the bright side they still have games at hand.

 

[Choralone]

I really dont see how thats calling out his teammates

Hes including himself in that I imagine

Sounds like the truth

Yeah, the "calling out" bit is an overused cliché that doesn't actually fit the situation most times it is used. He's not saying "my teammates aren't doing this and that."

 

[jetsforever]

What is up with Buffalo the last 10 years??

 

[Rebels57]

Fire Krueger. Hire Gallant at any cost. Trade for a goalie. They could get back on track.

 

[the_fan]

I have a feeling Eichel and Dahlin somehow gonna end up with the Rangers

Nah Colorado will acquire both for a couple of picks somehow

 

[MarkusKetterer]

That's a very strange excuse...

You have met Krueger right? He thinks Okposo is a better option in the lineup over Cozens.

As in scratch the 19 year old that gives a shit that’s on your second line and put Okposo there instead who makes Andrew Brunette look like Apollo Anton Ohno

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Gotta look in the mirra

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Not a single bad contract on the roster.

The Tavares one is possibly trending that way but for the moment I generally agree.

 

[Mez]

hiring a coach form the Oilers decade of darkness prob wasnt a good movie either.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

They suck.

Wasn't he the only good one?

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Wasn't he the only good one?

I’d say McLellan wasn’t bad, but the Oilers were just coming out of that shitty period then. So I guess he doesn’t apply.

 

[Canes]

Pitkanen never got chippy. I’ve never seen him take a slashing penalty. Just holds. I’ve seen Dahlin take retaliatory penalties.

He’s also being used stupidly. Pair him with someone like Gudas or Polak and let him run wild. Take the turnovers with the good.

That's just wrong. Pitkanen wasn't a physical d-man for the most part but that doesn't mean he was a pushover. He would regularly get into scrums.

That said, Dahlin has a long ways to go before he can even hold Pitkanen's jockstrap which is a disappointment considering what he was billed as. I'm glad the 2018 draft worked out like it did.

I only remember him from his days with Philly. When he was paired with Therien
