It probably wasn’t a translator because that Austrian chump speaks good English. It was most likely a body guard so nobody gives him shit about the recent ass sucking the Sabres are on.

Cool, ya all I head was Austrian. I said hi to him that’s all. I know I wouldn’t want to be bothered while trying to shop. Damn me not having anything to autograph though… lol. Then I would have bothered him.
