Thoughts from the Buffalo Sabres game last night

Boston Bruins @ Sabres game Wednesday Jan 17

I bought a pair of tickets from a scalper for $50 section 307 row 6 right on the blue line on the side the Sabres shot twice. Pretty solid deal although I could have gotten a single seat for $15 or less but had to bring a friend.

Thoughts..

• Damn there are a lot of hot chicks(good looking women) that go to games these days, I thought I was on Chippewa or a college campus in spring time.
• Dimitri Kalinen played like shit. Four early give aways at least one led directly to a goal.
• Ryan Miller missed played the puck go gave the impression he was going to play then puck and then changed his mind resulting in a goal and some close chances which seemed a bit unusual.
  
• This Phil Kessel kid for the Bruins (who survived cancer by the way) is a straight baller. I'll be watching him in the young guns game this coming Tuesday.
• Jason Pominville's favorite athlete is Lance Armstrong and I immediately decided he isn't my favorite player any more.
• Chris Drury looked like a struggling Briere(2 goals in past 19 games) when he missed an open net and hit the goal post.
• Luckily my NEW FAVORITE PLAYER Daniel Paille was there to clean up his mess and score his second goal of the game. His play was very impressive playing with Drury and Kotalik and Lindy Ruff said after the game that Paille was the best player on the ice.
• The Briere and Vanek line has the potential to become very interesting and productive once the two develop a chemistry on the ice.
• Finally Jiri Novotny got a chance to play with some talent getting bumped up to the Roy and Max line. He assisted on Afinogenov's neck breaking goal as he zoomed by the defense.
• The ice surface from the 300 section appeared to be bad once again perhaps the main reason for all the turnovers and causing players to slip and fall routinely.

In other news Willis Mcaghee errrr his agent errr his agent's secretary released a statement regarding the infamous Penthouse interview. Issuing an apology and saying his words were taken out of context shows he at least cares a little bit about Buffalo and his reputation in our beloved city. Or maybe it is just image control for a trade. Either way it is appreciated and some what unexpected although anyone could tell Willis himself did not write this well scripted PR production.
