Nothing confirmed yet. Just a rumor. Would be awesome if it were true, but I was kinda hoping Hecht's comment about Mannheim was true.

As long as it would count as an away game...

I'm pretty sure each team plays 2 games there. 1 "home" and 1 "away".

It might cause a slow start for us next season (with time shift, etc...), but since they managed to pull themselves out of the massive hole they dug from Oct-Dec this season, I wouldn't worry much about it... Plus, I'll have an excuse to get a patch sewn on my jersey!

Germany would be real cool. I was there 2 weeks ago, and I took a train from Frankfurt to Paris that went through Mannheim. I made a comment about how Jochen Hecht was from Mannheim, but my cousin, as well as the 2 gentlemen from Pakistan sitting across from us, didn't seem as excited as I was

Montador: "It's probably because of how good-looking we are."

In that case, I think I might rather have a game at Hsbc.

Might be fun, though.

WGR's website says they made the cut. Looks like the Sabs are going overseas next October.

It's not too bad, they always have a week or so off before they actually start playing back here after those games in Europe.

It is a good way to draw in fans from the entire globe though, especially since Hockey is a huge sport around the world.

Well it looks like Enroth will get an early start next year.

I would be more excited about the Sabres playing in Europe if it meant that I could go to Europe to watch them.


....I want to go to Europe.

A friend of mine is already working me on this. Pretty sure I'll be heading over if they go, especially to Germany.

I just hope they'll play a exhibiton game in Austria.
