New York. The Buffalo Sabers were unexpectedly defeated by the mighty Chicago last night, thus missing a golden opportunity to catch up in the playoff race.
Rasmus Dahlin then takes the blame – among other things because he was guilty of misconduct that cost him ten minutes in the penalty area.
– I feel like I let the team down, says the young running back star.
The Buffalo Sabers have been one of the attractions of the season in the NHL, but due to some ill-timed slumps, when they lined up on several fouls, they got stuck in the pack during the streak, so they now have to spend the second half of the regular season chasing back-to-back runs. .
Last night, they had a decent opportunity to make gains in this race, when they took on a desperate jumbo Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center, and while they had one point, they beat the other in overtime. There, instead, it was the home team’s Seth Jones who scored the decisive 4-3.
Rasmus Dahlin couldn’t do much about that particular goal, but it still lost – among other things because after the Black Hawks’ goal at the start of the third period, he got in and messed around among the team’s celebrating players and got ten minutes for misconduct.
“Sitting in the penalty area for ten minutes when we were trying to win didn’t feel good,” the 22-year-old Fastgut told the Buffalo News.
I feel like I let my team down and it won’t happen again.
Rasmus is generally critical of his efforts, among other things because he was on the ice during all three of the last three Blackhawks goals.
On a personal note, it was a very tough match. Totally unacceptable, he sighs.
Viktor Olofsson scored his 18th goal of the season in the first period.
