Ridiculous. No idea what you're watching but the kid is playing great.

Power was excellent tonight. And that pass for a goal from Skinner? Outstanding. He'll be a bargain on this contract.

So, that's the type of game we could have easily lost in previous years. You just need a few more of these than last year to get in.

Cuz!!

I don't think he had control of the puck free from the defender

Let's get one here and end this thing

Sabres won the faceoffs 8-6 in the first. That's unexpected and promising!

What a pass by Power!

For Canadians here, the game is on Centre Ice on free preview. They usually show the first week or so for free.

Disagree, because it's early. You need to get your top line playing better, and you do that by keeping them together and letting them work it out.

The Rangers shot blocking has been unbelievable for the first game of the year. And they score, of course

I guess the point went completely over your head.

Thanks for your condescending answer. All message boards certainly are not like I'm seeing in this thread.

I haven't been on this site long, although been a fan since 1973. I have to ask, are the fans on this site always in complete meltdown mode? Because a lot of the comments I'm reading are ridiculous.

I'm not seeing that. I'm seeing a team getting ripped off twice by the refs.

We're officially getting screwed.

The Ranger grabbed Benson's stick? What the hell? Who is this clown ref?

The lesson learned apparently is he should have just started throwing haymakers. I mean, why not if that's the way they call it?

Sometimes a game like this is okay in the pre-season. It may help them, let's call it re-focus. There's been a lot of smoke blown in their direction this off-season, but I honestly have no real concern about the team, they'll be just fine. Still time to come back and play well in this game too

I haven't watched all the pre-season games, but from what I have seen, Clifton is struggling

Wow, my feed on Sportsnet is behind about 30 seconds

Well that went well

I know it's exciting and he looks great, but let's settle down a bit. He hasn't played one minute of regular season action.

Score for those of us who can't see the feed?

Well obviously something new has happened or he wouldn't have been suspended.
