i think its gonna fill either way since its gonna be such a rare event, you’re gonna have hockey fans from everywhere coming to see it. If it was anything like the last time they did this they will have a legends game before and gretzky will draw a crowd easily. ---

It will be driven by the Networks which want the biggest start in the game to play to get ratings so it will be Mr. 9 Mil a Season Side the Kid Crosby and the Guins. ---

Fans were talking about this in the beginning of the season, and I was hoping for a Toronto vs. Buffalo match, but a Pitts/Buff showdown would be pretty awesome too. Do season ticket holders get first dibs on seating? ---

Anaheim, San Jose, Dallas, Nashville, Detroit, and when was the last time the Sabres played Chicago? 05-06 season? I can’t remember. Much, much better than last year’s. I’m also loving the back to backs against Philly. ---
