Attended the game. My first VGK.
Yeah, baby!!!
Not so smart as many posters here, so I won't evaluate the play in the game, but here are my other impressions.
Great atmosphere and energy at The Park pregame. And so many places to play VGK themed cornhole. (I lived in Indiana many years, so this was a sweet shock!) Also, The Park looks great as the lights come on. Bliss Dance sculpture very cool. And she has a very Kardashian butt.
Many more Sabres fans than I expected. Saw them both at MGM Grand and NYNY hours before puck drop.
The whole Excalibur sword-in-stone thingy before the game was, as expected, kinda hokey and melodramatic. But I liked it! And so did most of the rest of the crowd.
Crowd was maybe more reactive than proactive, but when VGK scored was so loud I could barely hear the goal horn and never did hear the goal song. Maybe my poorish hearing?
I liked the whole castle, Knight Line (drums) component. Wish I could have heard the drums more often and better...again, maybe just my hearing not so good as used to be.
Whoever controls the cameras that show folks in the crowd on the big screen has a clear fascination for both cute babies and cute ladies. Same three young blondes wearing their pink VGK shirts showed up at least three times.
Summing up: just a great atmosphere all around and an especially exciting finish to this game!
VGK all day!
