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

[OkimLom]

Eichel shows his emotions on the ice. It's depressing how much you see him pass the puck to a teammate, just to realize who it is and he visibly sighs and starts turning to play defense because he knows that player is going to lose the puck by fumbling it or by shooting it wide. I can hardly blame him considering who he has played with. I do this myself in beer leagues after I realize the guy I passed it to is incapable of making a play with it. Call me the bad guy all you want, but it's not like I don't give players chances before I get to this point with them- I just can't put in the extra effort when I already know the outcome is that they never look for a pass.

Pretty much what I think. That's why it's much more important to get guys that know what they're doing on the ice, than guys that just work hard with rocks for brains.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Sees Eichel over the last 3 seasons watch in disbelief game after game after setting up his teammates for glorious high success rate scoring chances that they flub or shoot wide or right into the chest of a goalie. And you really ask if Dahlin and Eichel will be on the ice together ?! Hopefully as much as possible.

If that lineup is used, hopefully there will be a plan that isn't just 4 dudes standing around waiting for Jack to do stuff

That’s my old crew. Lucky bastards!

I just received the same picture from one of the guys in it.

 

[sufferer]

I saw just Gil and Rasmus posing out in front of the French Connection statue by the arena as I was sniffing out food trucks. A pleasant surprise for the modest crowd they drew. And my god is RD lanky. He's going to really need to fill out.

My brother got a picture with those two just now, the snot.

 

[Tsujimoto]

At least he has his dental career to fall back on if this hockey thing doesn't work out.

Like 90% of prospects. Yes, he’ll fill out. He should work out with Eichel. He’ll be lifting VW bugs in 6 months

 

[Moskau]

He should workout with Risto. Risto can show him how to flip tires and throw punches when a referee is within a safe distance and Dahlin can teach Risto how to play defense.

 

[darcyRegier]

Risto could show him the best way to break a stick too

As did a former co-worker of mine. Too much fun.

Gilbert was the first superstar I ever met. During the inaugural season. He still is the Sabres to me. He looks good.

I’d almost like to see them take Reinhart to the 2nd unit

Erod Reinhart Larson
Olofsson Risto

Larson net front, Erod rover and Reinhart on the wall.

Olofsson as your primary shooter and Risto works the puck with Reinhart.

I quit if they put Johan freakin Larsson on any PP

1. Ewww..Larsson on the PP
2. Why are we trying to move Sam away from the net? He's incredible there.

This is for the people with way too much time on their hands, or if you have a rainy day or something. If anyone would be interested in watching archived junior games from Dahlin's U16 season for free, you can do it here:

He has plenty of warts, but I have liked him in front of the net on a couple of different occasions. 2nd pp are beggars than choosers.

Look to my comment to beers on Larson.

As to Reinhart, I agree he is really good in front of the net, but he is also one of our few excellent passers and I would like to have two really dangerous units, which requires spreading some talent around.

I also prefer the 4-1 approach on the pp. which means one of the Rasmi would be banished to pp2. As I said, I’d like to see it, I think.

I am still betting on them going back to royal blue for their 50th anniversary. At least I hope...

The navy blue is just so depressing.

Unfortunately, when he says the 'old jersey' he's talking about these...
