In the spirit of those timeless lyrics by John Fogerty, it looks like I'll have my way and be shuffling off to Buffalo in not too long. The plane is fueled and prepped, and we'll be loading it all up this afternoon for tomorrow morning's departure.
I'll be cooking about six gallons of chili tomorrow afternoon at my buddy's house, then we'll be heading out to HSBC to watch the Sabres/Canes game. With any luck Buffalo will show up and skate for a change so we don't waste perfectly good center ice tickets.
And of course, Sunday we're planning to be in the parking lot at The Ralph by 8:30 a.m. or so, with the intention of putting pot to flame by 9:00/9:30. Thanks to everyone who's making the trip for the tailgate, especially those who are taking time out of their day to come hang out even though they don't have tickets to the game. See you soon!
