You never really appreciate how fast the game is until you are at ice level. Peter, our goalie from Wednesday nights, sold me some seats to one of the Buffalo vs. NYI playoff games last season, and we were one row up from the glass. Talk about a fast game! And we got to see it from the goalie's perspective, which was different for a change.
Rob and I went, and had a great time. We went to the local Buffalo watering hole before the game and hung out with a few hundred Sabres fans, then ran over to the arena to catch the national anthems.
Best part might have been when an errant slapshot hit the glass a few inches from our heads. Nothing wakes you up better than a puck hitting another object at a hundred miles an hour.
