\t\t\t\tRasmus Dahlin<\/a> just let a very bad piece of news slip for the Buffalo Sabres ahead of Game 7 against the Canadiens Monday night.The Sabres captain confirmed during a press conference that Owen Power<\/a> is clearly playing through an injury.<\/p>\n And that is exactly the kind of information that normally remains top secret for an NHL team.<\/p>\n “Dahlin says Power is such a key part of the team in all situations, says there was a lot of character from him knowing he’s dealing with something physically.”<\/p>\n A statement that officially confirms what several analysts had suspected since Game 5.<\/p>\n Rasmus Dahlin may have handed the Canadiens a major advantage before Game 7 against the Sabres<\/p>\n According to many, the Sabres captain just made a monumental mistake during his press conference.<\/p>\n By publicly confirming that Power is playing injured, Dahlin is giving the Canadiens and Martin St-Louis’ entire staff extremely valuable information ahead of Game 7.<\/p>\n It is exactly the kind of information opposing team analysts love to receive before an elimination game.<\/p>\n The Canadiens will now know for certain that they need to target Power at every opportunity. Make him pay on every hit. Attack his weak side. Wear him down physically.<\/p>\n That is exactly the strategy teams want to use against an injured defenseman in a decisive game.<\/p>\n The Sabres’ management likely cannot be too happy to see their captain confirm this information publicly.<\/p>\n Lindy Ruff probably would have preferred to keep the mystery surrounding Power’s condition intact.<\/p>\n Martin St-Louis will likely spend part of the next 48 hours building a precise game plan to take advantage of this information.<\/p>\n And that is exactly the kind of detail that can make the difference in a decisive game at KeyBank Center.<\/p>\n Previously on Montreal Hockey Fanatics<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t
