“Little Bit More Comfortable” | Rasmus Dahlin Represents Buffalo Sabres At NHL All-Star Weekend

How does it feel now that you’re at your third allstar game uh a little bit more comfortable I would say uh but it’s always a great experience and um I’m having a blast uh I got some family over and uh it’s just a great time what’s

This mean to your family and the people that you you do bring to to this event a lot uh I hope uh I’m trying to show them around as much as I can and bring them backstage and um I want them to uh be a part of this too cuz um we’ve

Been uh been doing my uh hockey for for my whole life together so uh they’re a big part of it you know it’s your third year in a row with this honor how does being honored and surrounded by the top players in the league like this inspire

You gives you great confidence and um you get sort of um you hang around with all these guys talk and um it gives you a confidence boost for sure and um you learn a lot to just be uh be around all these guys uh for three days so uh it’s a blast

Nervous about where you’re going to get drafted tonight maybe I have no clue uh I’m excited see uh See uh where this thing uh goes noren is well represented at All Stars this year um lot of Swedish players what do you think that says about the state of hockey in Sweden it’s

Unbelievable I mean it just shows that we have a great program um that we are really good at developing players uh we’re not a big country not a lot of hockey players but U we always find ways to get uh players to NHL but now um top

Players in NHL so um it’s really good and I hope it can um um translate to to the younger kids and um it can boost them too also talk about left shot right shot on D and and not everybody can play their offside like what what are the

Challenges s to the late person of of playing the offside and what are the benefits if you can do it yeah I mean uh if you’re on a team with a lot of lefties uh someone’s got to do it right so uh but I I like it um when you have

The puck on your forehand on the right side you kind of see the whole ice more um defensively it’s a little bit different but offensively you get u a lot of um good good stuff comes with it um I I think I I think I like it more on

The right side I would say now when when I played for a while so um it’s I like it in the defensive zone is it just you have like you have like six less feet kind of thing because you’re on your wrong side to just make decisions or

Like what how what’s your thought process when someone’s bearing down on you yeah exactly um how you pole check um like hockey players have uh have their favorite side to cross over and um having a gap on the right side is a little different in the angle

Um uh so yeah just just littleit stuff you have to work on uh get used to it but um yeah like I said I like it what do you think about the league maybe expanding into Utah oh really no never heard of it but uh great news

Uh idea it’s always good to uh to get oh in Utah too get some uh hockey down there it’s it’s it’s I would say it’s really good um to expand the league get more fans get uh more kids playing in Utah and and stuff like that so uh it’s

A good thing that we expand this the sportas Rachel mentioned that you’re surrounded by so many talented players is there anyone in particular that you’re excited to spend a little bit more time with this weekend um I mean obviously everyone but um the Swedish guys are always fun to

Hang around and um old teammates um I’ve been talking a lot to Sam Reinhard here the last hour or so so um I mean I’m just going to soak it in and uh try to talk to everyone learn stuff from everybody so um I’m it’s going to be

Good of theed would you say that there’s any that have maybe your favorite personality or sense of style all the Swedish guys uh I mean not like uh William neander he got he got his style and his Charisma off off the ice so um I I like that he uh that he

Brings a lot of Swag to the game I uh I respect that and uh I want to take after that Too you ever heard uh wow a lot of bad ones out there H you can you don’t have to name names either yeah I mean we’ll leave it on the ice I would say but some of them not really funny
