Another Sabres fan?
Welcome!
Hah wow. I guess it has been a while since I've dusted off my skates and joined you guys out on the ice.
Went to the game tonight actually, was thinking that I would be in attendance for Miller's last home game ever. Watching the news work its way through the crowd was something really weird to see. We discovered it on the way in, but people were learning it for the first time during the first period.
I've been to a number of games over the last few seasons and the attitude has gone from bad to worse in there. People were getting fed up. No crowd participation. Fights breaking out. Tonight? That all changed. People were into it. Watching the game intently. Cheering at scoring chances, booing at the refs. Applauding Enroth's saves (which, btw, he was great tonight).
I think above all, the Sabres fans wanted change. We've all been clamoring for them for multiple seasons, and now we finally got it. It feels good to finally see a new era dawning on this team.
Now, does anyone want a slightly-used Drew Stafford? Anyone?
