Toughness in goal? Bring back Dell.
- Lunaion

I remember when I was like 12 I punched someone in the mask with my blocker. After I robbed him and he ended up in the net he told me I sucked. So I punched him. Only Got 2 min. I think I averaged around 6 min every year. I tripped a few people on purpose and slashed the back of many peoples legs. But the slash is a goalie staple.

Mind games are one thing, and a little love tap on the calf is fair play. Dell’s flying elbow on Batherson still infuriates me when I watch it. It was bar-league nonsense from an AHL-caliber goalie.

Thankfully that game was the last we saw from him. That was disgraceful. The Sens should have wailed on him but they were dead inside and couldn't be bothered to care

That play was dirty, but Dell gets a little too much hate here. He's better than Subban.

That's like being the tallest jockey at the track.

Performance aside, Dell was an embarrassment to the franchise and the sport at large the moment he took out an NHL all-star with that garbage move. He's an awful goalie and he's dirty to boot. What a combination.

No need to rush into naming a captain of this team until it's 100% certain on whom will lead this team for years to come.
Okposo is a waste of time. His best year as a Sabre was when the whole season was focused on losing rather than winning. Where was he when it was truly his time to lead.
No to Dahlin. He needs to focus on playing to his potential and that's it.
Cozens can become the captain some day but too early. Power is in the same boat.
Tuch is the only real option but is he really ready. Why not wait one more year. What's the rush Donnie.

Why is he a waste of time, he brings what Donnie and Company want. And it will be beneficial to see him go about his business for the next Captain. Because either way that Captain is probably gonna be young.

The worst mistake they could make right now is to name him C and then over-extend him. With Mr. Nice Guy as GM, it's a real concern.

I think Okposo’s best year was last season
Agree with the rest though

Well I would hope there isn't one, and if there is it better only be 1yr.

The time honored tradition of having the “c” stitched on your sweater in Buffalo denotes next out the door. So Okposo makes sense .
However I think Ok should be hired into the hockey dept for the next phase of his NHL career.

Remember that if you want to change the total over all culture of the team, you also have to inject the same culture into the staff.

Not that Donnie isn't a nice guy, but choosing a Captain is normally the decision of the Coach

Jiri Kulich just single-handedly eliminated the U.S last night.

What a performance.

Love the hit by Dell. Bath got a little to close. Play with fire you get burned. It’s not on Dell to move out of Batherson’s way. He’s a player on the ice as well.
