cdexchange Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 We went to the open skate yesterday morning, and it was EXTREMELY worth going. We got right up to the glass and it was amazing being that close to the players. They were skating by and just hanging out like 2 feet in front of us. We were in the corner on Miller's end so we saw some amazing saves up close. Every once in a while one of the guys would purposely blast a puck at the glass right in front of our faces and then smile just to mess with us. Pomminstein came up and lightly lifted a puck over the glass with his stick and some little kids next to us caught it. It was really cool. It was tough to get good pictures through the glass, especially when the players moving, but my wife managed to snap a few decent ones: http://www.thecdexchange.com/pics/sabres/s...e_12_28_06.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a big proponent of this since I went last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 It's one of the great things about "our" sport. What's the story on Paetsch's chute? I'd expect to see Max with one... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdexchange Posted December 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 What's the story on Paetsch's chute? I'd expect to see Max with one... :) I can only guess that it was a conditioning thing. He looked VERY winded after skating around for a couple minutes strapped to that thing. Once he takes it off he probably feels twice as fast as normal! Since he was scratched last night, I guess he put in alot more time working on conditioning, not having to worry about tiring himself out before the game. In any case, it looked pretty damn funny :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
