Well as many seen, the game itself was amazing. Its nice to win in an opponents arena. The arena itself was gorgeous, but the seating was just horrible. Walking up the stairs reminded me of the ever so steep Aud. Now on to the fans of Philly... As we scored we stood to cheer. Of course I heard some remarks that were expected and then some that I couldn't believe. I noticed other Sabre fans, that I had spoken to before the game started that said that they were from the Philadelphia area, weren't standing up to cheer and I now know why. Every time I stood up, I was told to sit down, go back home, shut my mouth, leave the arena and many other things that I don't think is proper to type here. The majority of their fans were being totally rude and I was shocked by their behaviour. Its totally unexpected at a hockey game. I know us Bills fans can get a little rowdy at times but I would never say things like what was being said to us to anyone watching a game. I was honestly waiting for something to get thrown at us. Other then that we represented our team to the fullest because we were honestly louder than the Philly fans which was a disgrace to their team. Go Sabres!!!

I agree with you totally. It is not nice to do something like that. Yes you may be there for different teams but you do not have to act that way. I have heard that kind of stuff said before. You are both there to cheer for your team not a riot.

You just have to love it another year and another ace sports reporter for the Californian, however, something’s never change! South High is never mentioned by the TV media as they review the season and guys like Gregg Kerr know who pays attention to
