Hats off to WCI/ADT/AvMed/your corp. here club!

My favorite quote from club level is now "They'd sell their mother for a nickel." But you should also only pay a nickel for that hat. HELLLLLLO, dolly!

Oh for Two!

The Sabres, so far this season, suck. I don't need statistics to tell me that it's not a great sign when Spacek seems to be the only one getting pucks in the net. I am loathe to even speak the words, but Drury and Briere were both an aberration in their own right. They are now leading their respective teams, despite the lack of a 'C' on either's sweater.

There's a lot of yakking from the 'fans,' calling any criticism a sign of bandwagoning or fair-weather friendliness. I have been a Sabres fan since I was old enough to stand in line and wait for Alexander Mogilny's autograph at a sports shop in Lockport back in the day, and I sat in an empty HSBC arena the year before the Lockout watching Miro Satan and Max Afinogenov lose to mediocre teams.

But thinking that this is going to be as strong a team without either Drury or Briere (And, uh, folks? We're missing both) is wishful thinking, of which I'd love to be a part of if I could muster a false sense of enthusiasm. I, as much as anyone, want to see them do well this year -- but if this past weekene is any indication of how the season will go, then let's not hold our breath. We need our $50 million dollar man to step up, and the blue-liners to wake up already. I hope Ryan gave them a good ass-kicking after the game. All IMHO. Let's go, Buffalo...

A "Bloated" start to the season

Oh yeah!!! It was a bloated start to the season as Tick 1 and Tick 2 hit the club and enjoyed ALL its luxuries!!! :-)

I have to say it was a CRAZY night!! Pantherland was chaos!! We took the plunge and each purchased new blue jerseys and had Tick 1 and 2 put on them respectively. Of course, Tick took the role of Captain while Tick 2 took the assistant. Bottomline...WE LOOK AWESOME!

Crazy night of giveaway stuff, running up and down to the store, checking out the arena, etc... What a place!! I think I might actually purchase a thread on the floor and put a link to our blog spot on it.. Figure the arena can use more advertising dollars. Uh right...

ok, so the Stanley area of Lexus level is gone and AVMed is in. Hmm... wonder who's making money these days.. maybe healthcare huh? WOW... well I see Dunkin Donuts as a sponser on the side of the rink, maybe we can get dunkin in the arena! That would be SWEET.

Highlight of the game had to be the fight with Horton. At least he earned a bit of his money on the fight, but not on much else... these guys need to get themselves together.

Another highlight of the night was getting an autographed puck of Mike Van Ryn from my buddy Ryan. Need to score him some tickets to the club for that one! Keeping it on my desk - love it!!

ok, so I'll mention the obnoxious couple in front of us. even if its just for tick 1's benefit... this couple "looked" to have money. seemed like they were there with the "pediatric anesthesiologist". they first sat 2 rows in front of us, then RIGHT in front of us. I just have a feeling they are NOT season ticket holders, but that they are mooching of Dr. Kildare. We'll see if they're there next game. ALSO, I should add that I HOPE they're not there ever again, as they were totally out of control AND the husband caught MY Panera bread shirt.

ok, I think I've cleared my chest on all this. :-) keep ya posted on the details of the next game.

WAIT I cant forget the regular coke I got instead of diet... happened from 2 bartenders so maybe they screwed up what was plugged into what on the gun aparatus. who knows...

ok, I'm done NOW.
Peace
Tick 2
