game was fucking sweet. we got box seats - also fucking sweet. we have been a few times since the NHL closed shop to see the Amercks play, but it was great to see the sabres rock out. shootout at the end was utterly pointless but rediculously cool. this winter won’t suck quite as bad after the super bowl now. ---

i moved here from PA, so im a penguins fan, but im glad NHL is back too. -MarioLemuix is godley, and the new prodigy straight out of high school on the penguins casey or something is supposed to be something to watch. ---
