NHL preseason officially starts tonight: DAL v STL. Lots more games Sunday. Most are on ESPN+.

I’m not a clueless fan who is unrealistically optimistic. However, if I got to your level of pessimism about this team, I would cut the chord and do away with the torment.

They have the opportunity to have a defensively responsible puck hound on each line. Benson with Norris and Tage Doan with Quinn and Kulich McLeod, Tuch and Zucker all together.

Big fan here of Owen Sound captain David Bedkowski defending the net front in the Attack's Friday OT win in London. “You don’t have to be a bad guy off the ice, but, on the ice, you have to be mean. You can’t be friendly on the ice, guys who are too friendly on the ice, I know as a player, they’re easy to play against.”

One can hope. There are a few guys who might emerge as the type of players they need but we don't really know yet. Veterans of that ilk added in the interim would have made me happier while we wait.

From NFTA: The NFTA Game Day Express stops are at various park-and-ride locations and transit centers, including Eastern Hills Mall, McKinley Mall, the Metropolitan Transportation Center, and University Station, among others. The service is an express route for Buffalo Bills home games, providing transportation to and from Highmark Stadium. You can find specific stop locations and route maps on the official NFTA metro bus Game Day. EDIT: meant to add the link https://metro.nfta.com/schedules/game-day-express

14 years how can you NOT be more pessimistic? While I would like things to be different I simply cannot fathom why anyone still has belief or hope in this franchise. What you say is the Buffalo way. Hoping and expecting the same players to be better rather than making enough changes and additions for the team to actually be better.

My response to you would be why aren't you complaining? You don't seriously believe or have hope do you? Why isn't everyone complaining after 14 years? You should be.

I don’t disagree at all and I’m not gonna cry if Power is traded. I’m just saying we will regret it eventually.

Where would someone go to take a bus or shuttle to the stadium?

For those who don't want to use X, can someone post the full quote?

Where I do agree with you is that the owner has almost irreparably damaged this franchise and fanbase. He’s a fool owner who doesn’t have the self-awareness to recognize how inept he really is. I wish he would go on his big boat and sail away.

Therein lies the problem. Fans cling to the potential of a player vs cashing in while that player’s value is at it’s highest. I too think Power will be a great NHL player. I just don’t think Buffalo, as a team, their fans and the overall mental health of the city can wait another 5 years before the needle moves with this team. They need to fix it today. Attendance will be abysmal this season. Maybe then Terry will finally get the kick in the ass to make real changes to this team.

Not me, that's a definite nope.

Big fire in North Buffalo

I would trade anybody on this team not named Dahlin. Make this trade happen please and bring some excitement back to the city.

If we do end up trading Power, I still maintain that we will regret having done so in 2-3 years.

Getting better goaltending is the most important issue for me. I’m just so unsure about our goaltending group????

I would say no to such a deal. I suspect that most of the crowd here would say yes to such a deal.

Yep. See ya Owen and Jiri.

Honestly laying it out like this makes me sad. I’m relying more on Kesselring and Doan to change the culture here. I’m not confident that’s anywhere near enough. They still need to remove the cowards and bring in players with daddy issues. I want guys with an axe to grind and enjoy senseless violence.

If Robertson gets traded to the Sabres, we will likely be giving up at least two of our best young players to get him. There is no free lunch in this marketplace.

They’ve done a better job the last 3 drafts. We still haven’t seen any of the fruits of that labor. Which is typical for mid level prospects. I suspect we’ll start seeing them next season if we aren’t counting the height challenged but plays big and aggressive Benson.
