Looking forward to some firewagon hockey tonight, boys
I’m calling it, Buffalo wins 9 to 7
The best guys need to be the best guys. Dahlin and Power have been good on defense, but Tage, Cozens, Skinner and Tuch all need to find a way to drive offensive play and generate high danger scoring chances. I understand Johnson’s points about team defense, but you’re not going to out-defense the Islanders. They need to punish them with their offensive talent.
I am ready to be hurt once more. It’s nice to have a recovery day!
NYI played an OT game last night. They may get off to a hot start but we need to be relentless as the game goes on.
Any word on the starting goalie?
So excited for this season! Can’t wait for the home opener tonight!!!
Just bought some tickets, it’s a guaranteed win now
