ko-fi.com/hockeytruffles
As the most anticipated young defenseman to enter the game in over 15 years, Rasmus Dahlin joined the league at only 18 years of age; a feat virtually unheard of in the modern NHL. His skating prowess and deftness with the puck were immediately evident, but defending against men twice one's age is a struggle even for a 1st overall phenom. He continued to make gains every season, but in more ways than one, his fifth in the NHL felt like an official arrival.
The Trollhättan, Sweden native scored 73 points in 78 games, placing him fifth in the NHL, and he improved his play considerably in all three zones. A truly singular talent, Dahlin does things on the ice that no defenseman has done before. He may sometimes appear indifferent to conventions-or even wholly uninvolved-but underlying that insouciance is an edge and competitive intensity that's sure to make his Buffalo Sabres a serious (and highly entertaining) contender in the very near future.

He might be the best improviser and innovator of his generation, including the forwards. His processing speed is off the charts AND he's one of the toolsiest defensemen we've ever seen.

[@maximusrusso8758]

I mean Mcdavid and Jack Hughes exist but he’s up there

[@steventalbott6066]

Yes

[@michaeltennapel2182]

It’s his edge ability he uses them differently then the conventional defenseman. He has extreme patience combined with his edge work, it’s him and Makar that’s it. Id rather dahlin he has a physical game

Cliche cliche annnnnd cliche!

[@patrickd1989]

When you are a fan of the game of hockey and you see someone like Dahlin play it gives you an immense feeling of satisfaction. He’s so skilled and has a high hockey iq and it seems like his mind, feet, and hands are all working together in unison at a very high speed. I dont watch many Sabres games so I didnt realize just how good he is but now I have an appreciation for what he brings, makes me want to go to a Sabres game next time theyre in town. Thanks for making this video, looking forward to the next one.

Excellent comment!

[@anklepick9524]

Swedes have the best hockey IQ in the game.

[@nebraska124]

Never gets old seeing Dahlin's movement at the point. He's almost certainly the best game driver at the blueline. He's got the shot, the vision, the discipline. And he's got the economy of movement. He doesn't move more than he has to. Doesn't overcommit. Adjusts and tweaks at the feet. It's fuckin mesmerizing.

[@anklepick9524]

Yeah, it's amazing. He is one or two steps ahead of everyone. It's like he is playing against kids.

[@gatesgates7788]

He is the best thing that has happend to the league in a couple of years.

[@Energetik_C]

Lmao

[@thepowerwithin9865]

Dude is textbook defensively in every aspect while being completely unorthodox in how he manages the blue line in the offensive zone. He’s special.

[@jyhina]

Definitely not textbook defensively, but an incredible player. Even in this video that is supposed to showcase his skills you can see several times where he went for hits or stepped up when he wasn't supposed to if you're playing solid defense.

[@thepowerwithin9865]

@@jyhina Admittedly at times he’s willing to take a risk on defense in order to try and create offense going the other way. When he’s in the zone though, the guy is so crafty at stripping pucks and taking players off the puck.

[@FINsoininen]

I know its a big name to compare him with. (and a forward at that) Dahlin got that Datsyuk effect at times. Not getting past the opponents by speed or power but by deception.

[@thepowerwithin9865]

@@FINsoininen He’s off to a bit of a rough start this season, but he seems to get better as the year goes on. That happens to a lot of guys who recently earned a new contract. Once he gets comfortable, he’ll be on autopilot. He should be the best Sabres defensemen in their history if he retires as one.

[@FINsoininen]

@@thepowerwithin9865 well, 5p in 5 games is not that bad. I see it as the entire team slacking off at the beginning of this season. Tuch and Thompson both have 1 point. We can start judging after 10 games.

[@shadow_crne1030]

Dahlin is the definition of smooth. Definitely a good example for hockey defensemen ........ thanx for collecting all the clips m8.

[@davidyoung5114]

A great compilation, but you left out THE play of the season, when Dahlin lofted a pass up to Dylan Cozens in overtime for the game-winning goal on the night Ryan Miller's #30 was retired!

[@nickchristensen7148]

You do the best videos I don't know how you channel hasn't blown up yet. The amount of effort you must put into to find these clips is unreal, thank you so much

[@steventalbott6066]

This dude is unreal! He’s the player everyone wishes they could be. Great job with this video btw

[@ericschultz1554]

Wonderful video. And though us Sabres fans realize what we have in Rasmus Dahlin, many are not ready for what this kid is going to become when he matures into a man in the next year or so. This kid and the hard work he puts in and his tool belt. He’s going to be a legend. He’s still got a few gears left and it’s going to be wild for the whole NHL to bear witness.

[@johnerik2088]

"We Sabers fans" booed him out on home ice in the 2021/2022 season, and have been calling for him to get traded/not extended since he was drafted. He's a great player, so I sure hope he leaves.

[@FINsoininen]

Not a sabres fan but a Frölunda fan, we know it aswell. The way he sent grown men up to the stands for a hotdog almost once a game. He showed good defensive ability aswell. Just needed to learn when to take risks. That comes with age.

[@sam-8254]

You truly have a talent to tell a character story through your editing and the choice of your clips. The fact that you keep a wide variety of highlights and not just goals shows that you are invested in the player you're trying to show. I'm a new fan of your craft, and i'll be waiting for more videos. And don't worry, your channel will blow up sooner than later.

[@buffalowinter61]

Thank you for this, it was the most fun I had watching a "highlight reel" in some time. This was well-edited, the music was awesome, and even when the clip was of the Sabres losing big, Mr. Dahlin was still playing tough. Here along the Lake, we appreciate our number one draft pick, and now with the addition of Owen Power on defense and Devon Levi in net, we are looking to get a more positive goal differential to assist in propelling the team into the upcoming playoffs. I appreciate the time and effort you put into creating and posting, I would like to ask about your avatar, candy, or fungus?

You know, it's not often one gets to say this in life and have it be a positive, but it's definitely fungal.

[@hansreftel4271]

[@alchemilk]

I absolutely love Dahlin. He is one of the smoothest, and most confident players out there. Sure he’s not the best defenceman in the league, but his overall positive impact, and sheer skill alone, are just so impressive. His ability to improvise and evade pressure like it’s nothing is unbelievable, I can’t think of many players that compare.

[@danbrooks6780]

i really dont have much to say about dahlin that other commenters havent already said, he's nutty. but can we talk about this channel? you must be like a video coach or something, at least at a major junior level, to find all these little things that would never show up in any other channel's highlight reels, even the pro TV media, yet showcase individual players' styles and strengths so well! and I'm sure you could add plenty more insight with commentary, but you choose to tell the story with just some crisp editing and let the footage speak for itself... amazing definitely time to start a patreon, dude, and grow this thing into a community of people who really love the game

[@samgray3612]

This video is awesome! I don’t think people realize the hype for Dahlin in his draft year is holding up! He quietly is becoming what he was drafted to be. I think if it wasn’t for buffalos revolving door at head coach and for guys like Makar having unreal stats since day 1 Dahlin would be recognized

[@samgray3612]

To be fair I know he got a lot of attention this year, but he’s so talented he may even deserve more

[@oskforalltid]

I mean he even set a point record for teen defensemen in his Rookie sesson. He was third in calder voting and the only two people in front of him were Binnigton who won the Stanley cup that year and Pettersson who had a pretty damn impressive rookie season.

[@joedeabreu]

Why didn’t you end the vid with Ras smashing Matthews in the Heritage Classic? Matthews couldn’t handle that smoke!

It's a hard decision. The guy got his head down and breaks in on the net. You got to smash him so he doesn't think he can crash the net with his head down and at the same time you have to care for the goalie.
