This is my greatest Sabres memory ever away from the Aud or the Arena. Three good friends and myself were on spring break in Cancun, Mexico. We took the bus to J.W. Marriott's Sports Bar which carried all the hockey games. They had a giant screen and about 10 different TV devoted to the NHL Playoffs. On the giant screen, they had the Kings vs. Red Wings I believe and only a few people were watching. So the manager went on the loud speaker and said who wants to watch this game, a few people said yes. He then asked about another game and again a few people said yes and finally he said "who wants to watch Buffalo versus......." The place went NUTS. I turned around and everyone looked at each other. Western New York was in house. There was easily 30-40 Buffalonians and we all watch and went nuts as McKee scored in OT.
Trip To Cancun: $1,000
Bus To Sports Bar: 50-cents
Watching the Sabres win a playoff game in OT with dozens of Western New Yorkers in a 95-degree tropical weather: Priceless
