    That is only a first step in fantasyland.  In the reality of the NHL this is flawed.  Dahlin is not a confident and savvy Vet that a rookie like Samuelsson needs.  They both need NHL time with a strong veteran presence. 

    But doing something like that would've gone against Clever Kevyn's magical plan. I mean if he did that the team might win games and we can't be doing that because it would ruin the magic plan!

  2. The Pegulas should be forced to visit UBS Arena so they can have it rubbed into their noses just what awful disgraceful failures they are as NHL owners and how they should feel nothing but shame and embarrassment every time they look in the mirror. This place makes KBC look like a dilapidated rec rink in the middle of Bumblefudge.

  3. I am as cynical as anyone on this board and watching that game missing our top center, a top pairing defender and our 4th line center who against all odds is no longer the biggest negative in the league and actually decent and seeing us lose due to awful puck luck gave me hope things will get much better much sooner. Imagine if Donny had been given the job 2 seasons back instead of Ralph?

    2 things:

    1.  Preseason games are always poorly attended (typically not THIS poorly, but they are always poorly attended).

    2. The vast majority of Canadian ticket buying fans are not coming this year due to border restrictions. 

    Those 2 items combined with a historically bad team will result in historically bad attendance.  But, that isn't likely a permanent thing.

    The ST base will likely bump back by ~7-8,000 seats next year.  Between Canadians being back, people that bought 1/2 & 1/4 seasons going back to full seasons, & NOT expecting a 30th-ish finish (dear Lord, please let that last 1 be true), the fans will come back.

    3 years from now, attendance will be to normal levels.  IMHO.

    I'm sure after the team wins 13 games this season and drafts Brad Lambert with the 3rd overall pick ticket sales will go through the roof. Your post is essentially a text version of the This Is Fine Dog meme. People have reached the point of just giving up and thinking it will magically go back to the way it was unless something drastic happens are just kidding themselves.
