I think they were hoping it was played with a high stick.
My view on Rasmus is that he has the same "psyche" as Erik Karlsson, in the sense that mistakes, even big glaring mistakes, don't affect him. When Karlsson was a rookie, he could try a deke on his own blue line, get stripped of the puck which led to the other team scoring. His next shift he would try some new deke or risky play, without giving a rats ass about what happened the previous shift.
It’s a rare unusual play in general, not much to really talk about and it came up in the game thread.
As Jim Bob’s replay shows, it looks like a couple Sabres, Dahlin included thought it hit the Jumbotron.
I doubt it will be a continuous issue.
Norris voters aren't helping in that regard. I don't think we'll see a guy with a voting record like Lidstrom anytime soon.I might be wrong here, but it seems like Dahlin has that chance to become the guy on defence for this generation. While guys like Doughty, Hedman etc are really good and probably hall of famers I don’t really think they are going to be talked about all that much as 10-20 years from now. It doesn’t really seem like there are any truly expecptional D in the league right now.

No kidding. Recently Doughty won it because the consensus was it was his turn. Can’t fight ridiculous.
He should have won last year but Hedman didn't have one yet.No kidding. Recently Doughty won it because the consensus was it was his turn. Can’t fight ridiculous.
There is no defenseman in the league I’d rather have
I'm not from Lidköping, but from what I've read Dahlin simply loves to play the game so I guess he didn't mind to play some extra games. He rented the ice rink on his own to play during the summer, right?I'm from Lidköping and know they've really struggled to get a team together in the past, including canceling entire seasons for certain teams. So I think what happened was those games were spread out during the year when it was unclear whether they had enough players on the team and it was between being "forced" into playing the clubs greatest player of all time, or forfeiting.
The more outrageous thing is that they appeared to have two U16 teams. One elite team (called U16) and a B-team ( called U16 A, naturally). That is the most Swedish thing I've seen today. "U c, we hav to tms. The 1st tm nd the A tm"
