You didn't let anyone know you'd be here?! Dude, we fucking PARTY.
Regardless, hell yea for your first Sabres home game!
I know, I know! I was in Toronto for the weekend, when I realized the Sabres were actually playing at home (3 hours before puck drop). So we went online and got our asses down ASAP. Won't be my last trip down, though. Buffalo brought the goods, even for a preseason game, the atmosphere was incredible!
Also 30 seconds after I walked in through the door, I went man-on-a-mission to get my Vanek 3rd jersey. Looks soo fucking good in person!
This is a public service warning to all Buffalonians (correct terminology?) I left my camera back in Winnipeg, so I decided to buy one in Buffalo for the game. I wanted to get a cheaper camera, since the one at home is in the 2-300 dollar range. I went to Target, but didn't want to shell out 90+ on something I'll only use once, so I pass and head out to Big Lots (Delware Ave, I think was the street name)
If you ever find yourself in a Big Lots (I REALLY wanted to find a camera) do NOT buy the Polaroid a515 digital camera. $40 will get you the biggest piece of shit you've ever seen! The picture quality is so low, that you can't get even a semi-quality shot of anything in motion. This camera at a hockey game is about as much use as an air conditioner in January. My cousin's iphone took better quality shots, by far. He couldn't stop laughing...
