Short Take Sports:

Benson love from Montreal

He has the hockey intelligence of Suzuki and the energy of Gallagher. Interestingly, from the 2023, one other Sabres choice has earned a call up, Anton Wahlberg but multiple players are still developing. It was a good draft for Kevyn Adams even if he only got Benson, who finally turns 21 on Tuesday. https://www.eliteprospects.com/draft/nhl-entry-draft/team/53/buffalo-sabres https://www.lapresse.ca/sports/hockey/2026-05-09/zach-benson/il-a-l-intelligence-de-suzuki-l-energie-de-gallagher.php

Captain accountability

“Wrong read. Terrible decision. Can’t happen.” Rasmus Dahlin owns the goal by Newhook.
