The Sabres' All-Star defenseman has complimented his teammate, who was said to have one of the NHL's most punchable faces in a recent poll.
Earlier this week, Buffalo Sabres skilled winger Jeff Skinner was the subject of an anonymous player poll. He was tied for sixth with Ryan Lomberg (Florida Panthers), Nazem Kadri (Calgary Flames), and Kevin Fiala (Los Angeles Kings) for this question: "Who’s the player in the league whose face you most want to punch?"

In response to this player poll, Sabres top defenseman Rasmus Dahlin was asked about his thoughts on the matter. His response made it clear that he disagreed with the result of the poll. In fact, he went on to compliment Skinner's appearance by saying, "I think he’s got a cute face. He’s very handsome."
