So i had the misfortune of being present for this ga... not sure i should call it a game. They're so much worse in person than watching on tv. Lehner will never stop a ps/shootout ever. The crosby and hornqvist goals could see them coming from a mile away almost happend in slow motion the guys on the ice just standing around watching them both causually skate uncontested right into the slot. Nearly identical goals.
And off ice things weren't much better. Traffic in downtown buffalo getting in to the game seemed worse than usual, which was odd considering theres no way there was the claimed 19000+ sellout crowd in the arena. Concession stands were as much of a disorganized mess as the on ice product. Stood in the pizza logs / burgers / fries / etc line for a half hour missing warmups while the staff wandered around looking confused and eventually stopped taking orders long enough that we moved next door for the privilege of spending over $20 for 2 slices of pizza and a soft drink to share with my wife. The arena atmosphere was the worst ive ever experienced. Even the pens fans present couldn't be bothered to get much of a cheer going this time. Least enjoyable time I've ever had at a hockey game. Might be a while before i bother coming back to buffalo for another game. So not worth it.
U: and here's the kicker. Going to the game in pittsburgh tomorrow also. Kill me now.
Liked Criscoulo and Scandella
Agreed. Scandella seemed to be playing angry. Crisco seemed like the only one giving a damn.
Also noticed pominville a lot in the NZ, seemed like he was always trying to attack with speed and quick passes and give n go's but nobody else seemed to even have any clue what to do.
And everytime i see moulson i mentally play the "what would you say you do here" gif in my mind.
