Hockey is the most elevated sport in person IMO.
This is what I’ve heard. I always had a ton of fun going to our club hockey games. I went to Illinois and that club team would beat the shit out of all these other little college club teams. Obviously, this was very low level but still fun to watch. I’m excited to see top level talent in person. Early game means we should be able to get out of Boston before the shenanigans start this evening.

We’re going to the game!
Awesome! We will also be there today. Sitting on the glass in section 19.

Nice that it’s your first game. You’ll be amazed at just how fast these guys move in person. Or at least I was for the first game.

Illinois is not low level club. That's great hockey and a great atmosphere.

Get there as early as possible. Even watching warmups at the NHL level is an absolute treat. Enjoy the game!

I just realized the Winter Classic is on the 2nd this year.

Smart move for NHL

(But I am pissed at the NCAA, NYE 8PM WTF, but understand)

Enjoy!

The Sabres are a below-average team in terms of expected goals but punch above their weight with a league-leading 12.4% shooting percentage. This will be a good test for Swayman who has turned his season around after a really poor start. Still, this one has a potential to be a barn-burner.

We know Buffalo can score. My biggest issue is the lack of finish from the Bruins. Marchand has to bury that right before the 1st Buffalo goal. Krejci passed up 2 shots to make the extra pass to no one.
