Sabres captain hip checks and beats up teammate in practice

Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin got physical during his team’s practice on Monday.

News 4 in Buffalo captured a video of what transpired in practice between Dahlin and Payton Krebs. Dahlin was seen sending Krebs tumbling with an open ice hip check. Dahlin went charging after Krebs after the hit and started throwing some big punches at his teammate, who responded.

A couple of big punches were traded before their teammates stepped in to separate the two.

Some think that Dahlin was targeting Krebs with the hit and sending a message.

Sabres coach Lindy Ruff seemed to be fine with what transpired. He shrugged it off as “boys will be boys.”

The Sabres beat the Panthers 5-2 on Saturday for their first win of the season. The Eastern Conference squad is 1-3 as of Monday.
