Fisticuffs a plenty, we'll see you next Saturday.

Forget that the Sabres blew a two goal lead going into the second period and lost the game by one goal; it's only the preseason. Even though it is pretty irritating they let that happen...Thomas even took one for the team and bled! The power play has been fail this preseason. We are missing Ales and Jaro on the backend, ugh.

Anyways, the main thing about this game tonight was the various scrums and scuffles going on during the game. I can't remember who Patty K hit exactly, but all I know is that he got in a huge fight with Ryan O'Byrne, and then ended up getting a game misconduct. That was the first fight. Then later, Goose went after someone else and got a 10 minute misconduct. Then there were a lot of other scuffles going on. This makes for a nice little rematch next Saturday at the home opener, which I now cannot wait for. I hope that there are plenty of fights, but with my luck, that won't be the case.

Even Ryan got into a little fight of his own which Gerbs had to sit in the penalty box to take his penalty. No one beats up on the little guy. The goaltender won't even tolerate that.

Tomorrow the Sabres face the Leafs for the last preseason game. Finally, regular hockey is going to be around the corner. I am so pumped for next Saturday!

The Epic Adventures of Tamara and Shelby: Pre-Game.

Before I start dishing details about how awesome tomorrow is more than likely going to be, let's talk about that game last night! I still don't know what happened in the skirmish depicted in the photograph above, but it gave Goose a five minute penalty that the Sabres managed to kill off. Good job guys!

I think Ovie had a ton of shots on goal as usual but didn't score. It's a miracle. Usually without fail, he will score against the Sabres. This is the preseason but I like it that he didn't score. Maybe they can stop him from doing such in the regular season too? Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease.

Anyways, you know the Sabres won by now. It's all good. Now tomorrow...

Tamara and I are hitting up the red carpet and then the game afterwards. If you're going and spot anyone with makeshift Rivet shirts then that would be us. With our luck he won't play tomorrow, haha. It'll be okay, we can still represent underneath our jerseys!

See you guys there!

Preseason action!

Tamara and I bought tickets today for the preseason game on the 23rd versus the Leafs. We're sitting a few rows behind the player's bench. If anyone else plans on going to that game, you should stop by and say hello to the both of us. (: It's a few weeks away but I'm saying this early because I know I would forget, haha.

I am so glad to know that Puck Drop is only about a monthweek away. It feels like it's been forever since the Penguins hoisted the Cup.

Edit; Thanks to Tamara for reminding me Puck Drop is a week away. I meant to say week. Yes.
