Hey guys!

I was just told about this site, I didn't know that a lot of my old friends were over here now. I was back in Buffalo for Christmas and I got over to the arena to cover the Sabres/Senators game on Saturday and I thought you guys would enjoy seeing some of my photos. I won't be able to post my "official" gallery until I get home to VA, however I do have my photos posted over on my Flickr account at:

Here is a sneak preview for you guys:

Miller looks pissed in that one of him standing up with the mask on.

Great photos, as always Mike. Thanks!

I like how it was caught on photo how Vanek was getting in someone elses grill! Proof that the Vanek has a bit of a gritty streak in him!

Thanks guys! I wish I could say that I had more coming, but I head back to Virginia tomorrow and won't be back up in Buffalo until the summer. It was great being back in the arena...it seems like so long ago, but it was funny, the vendors I used to go to were still where they were in '07, security was the same, it was like I never left!

Mike

It's good to have such a great eye back in the arena, Mike. Hopefully you'll be back in time for something special this summer - it'd be great for you to catch that

miller needs a new pair of pads. they are getting kinda saggy. especially the pad on his left leg.

i wish his vector 10s with RBK graphics were available to the public.

Mike, your pictures are always great. I can only wish to take pictures as good as you do. What camera and kind of settings did you use to photograph in the arena. I always have trouble with so much white having the right exposures

Awesome, awesome shots. Thanks for sharing them!

Mike, your photos of the Sabres are always top notch. You really know how to capture the game. I miss your pictures so much! Thanks for sharing these with us, and I hope all is well!


He has new pads, he wore them during training camp and in the new team photo that's on the walkway outside of the Arena he's got them on too. Maybe he's breaking them in or something.

I just looked more of your photostream on Flickr, and it looks like we were in NYC during the same time.
