Best Swedish born defensemen ever in the future?
I know for a fact that Rasmus Dahlin will completely destroy any competition what so ever. He is exactly behaving like Joe Labero but on the ice. This will indeed be a real halleluja moment for the Buffalo Sabres. Best wishes from Sweden to Buffalo Sabres and Rasmus Dahlin.💖💝
Wow he actually pronounced his last name right
I graduated High School on the same night that we get Dahlin!
Imagine if the sabers didn't draft dahlin
As a leaf fan in wny kinda sorta scurred of Buffalo
Fresh meat to the nhl veterans this young blood doesnt stand a chance just becuz he played good with other noob players in the rookie lead
200 likes= saves Dahlin from the Sabres
I love the sabres! Hope they win the cup soon!
Lmfao Brian Burke at the end
I know that unless a player picked numero uno in an NHL draft is literally the 2nd coming & quality of a B. Orr / M. Messier or C. McDavid his impact on an entire hockey team’s roster is & will not be as significant as say an NBA player picked #1 overall would be to his team’s fortunes, for example. So to ask R. Dahlin in his 1st season to lift up & carry ‘our’ Buffalo Sabres on his back would be as futile as it is funny. That said, the clock on GM J. Botterill (a cat who with all due respect I still think is way to inexperienced for my liking) & HC P. Housley starts NOW. Like please in the name of all things holy, no more goddamned excuses for we long suffering Sabres fans & lets start to get this mofo’in’ show on the road. Oh yeah, Botterill. While riding this high of getting Dahlin, could you kindly starting working the phones to get us a legit starting goalie & scoring winger, as well. Thats it, that all. And LETS GO BUFFALO!!!
Phil Housley who was also a first round pick to Buf is crying tears of joy.
Eichel and Dahlin on the same team? All they have to do is to get the right pieces and they'll win a cup for sure.
As a Swede i can't wait to see him in the NHL
I think he will have a tough time the first years.. might be good later on.
Spear someone RIGHT IN THE GUT
Looks like Buffalo got a decent one in Dahlin. I would not get too excited though. Buffalo is the weakest team in the league and unless he puts on the pads, this only addresses part of the real problem.
Just a word to Buffalo fans dont expect Dahlin to turn your franchise around on his own and be patient with him he wont have much of an impact in the first 2 seasons i think but once he grows into his own body he will be one of the best defencemen in the NHL
I wanna see Dhalin and McDavid go head to head, excited for the Oilers first game against Sabres.
Sabres need a real goalie now
Sabres fans already aiming for the Cup….I get it , you are excited and all, but being delusional is something else. Dahlin is fantastic, but there is no one man army in hockey. And Sabres have a LOT of holes to fill. So stop with this nonsense and get a grip.
I doubt we make the playoffs this year. I hope they prove me wrong. Go sabers.
Congratulations Buffalo Sabres / Frölunda Indians supporter
Wow this is a bit off the board. Should have picked Joe Veleno he always turns out better in nhl 17
Gilbert Perreault….Dominik Hasek and now Rasmus Dahlin 😀
skinny Swede lmao
Well at least he didn't go to the Oilers. At least his career won't be doomed for in Buffalo
He looks autistic
The next superswede??🙃
Кфыбшы
Leafs fans in the comments like the condescending fat basement dwelling nerds that they are.
Like chill out, you guys JUST made the playoffs again lmao. I wouldn't start pulling rank until you can get out of round 1 – Sabres used to live in that glass house from about 2000-2011 so we know not to throw stones.
Guy is legit. Norris candidate this season. Go Sabres!
