Half-time had just begun during a fabulous Sabres hockey game. The HSBC Arena was packed with fans cheering on our home team. Maxim Afinogenov and Chris Drury had been slapping pucks into the opposing teams goal like disk-shaped rockets. I had cheered on my favorite Left Wing hunk, Andrew Peters. It had been a wild second period and I was all fired up, mainly on a few 16-oz beers and a hot pretzel or two.
