It's Almost HERE!

by Anne

Players are reporting for fitness testing and physicals and happy fun times because it's TRAINING CAMP! Which means it's almost pre-season which means it's almost October which means it's almost the regular season!!

Wooo!

I had planned to go to Puck Drop at HSBC Arena tomorrow but a friend of mine just moved back home from grad school at Penn State and we're doing breakfast on Saturday morning. I suppose that takes precedence over the Sabres... or at least that's what I'm telling myself. I'm sure I'll see tons of pictures and read tons of tweets from the day so I'll feel like I'm there while I eat some delicious breakfast. :D

Adam Mair has gone the way of our previous most recently departed tough guy. Yes, he's following in Petey's footsteps and going on a PTO with the New Jersey Devils. Farewell, Mairsy, farewell.

Everyone please call or text my Mom and remind her that I still need to be in possession of the tickets to the Kings game on November 19 or I may hyperventilate. Just a possibility. Not a guarantee, but a definite possibility. You don't want that on your collective conscience, DO YOU?

Now that hockey is really back (!!!) I'll have more motivation and inspiration for blogging which makes me happy.

If you aren't already, join in on the Twitter fun, click up on the left and give me a follow. Hilarity is sure to ensue.

LET'S GO BUFF-A-LO!

I just love being hacked (wait that sounds wrong)

by Anne

My beloved anniebeeswax@gmail.com account I created when I created this blog was hacked today. It's exceptionally annoying because I use this email account for the most random things. All of the weirdos that have emailed me over the years got a spam email from me today. Serves them right. I get at least one email a week from someone who supposedly saw my blog and thinks it's a great example of something or other and they want me to team up and market with them. Yeah, sure. My goofy little Sabres blog is just the thing your company needs to send you into the stratosphere.

Any whoozle. I bought a sweet new camera and I'm beyond pumped to take it to Puck Drop this weekend. I can't stay too long because I have an appointment at 2:30, but I'm excited to try it out there. It's a Nikon Coolpix L110. The only drawback is that it runs on AA batteries. Lame. If you follow me on Twitter, expect to see multiple artistic shots of things around my house including, but not limited to, my cat, my dog, my Mom, my Dad, this sweet blanket on my bed, my piggy bank (it's awesome, don't hate) and general furniture and what not. It's sure to wonder and amaze.

PUCK DROP IS SATURDAY! WOOOOOO!!!!! THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!! :D :D :D

ETA: Just when I was all "oh snap I don't have batteries," I opened up the box and Nikon provided me with some lithium batteries. A+, Nikon, A+++.

Training Camp For Everyone!

by Anne

Its not just training camp for the Buffalo Sabres, its training camp time for all. Huzzah!

Here are some snapshots from my other three favorite teams. The Penguins, Canucks and Kings.

It appears the Penguins were too busy visiting Barack Obama to post any training camp photos. Psh. Lame.

Here's what the Canucks and Kings have to offer so far:

This.... doesn't look safe



S'OB tries not to show his panic over the fact that there are six roster spots and approximately 74 players vying for those six spots



Kes promised Bur a lollipop if he didn't cry when she drew blood.
I hope he made it.



The Kings posed for portraits
Thank goodness he cut his hair.



Jarett Stoll is wary of you sneaking up from behind and hacking him on his newly arthritic wrist.
He doesn't want you to know which one it is...



He blabbed
