I was there last night. It was ok. First off, people need to learn how to drive. My God just frigging park! I've been down there so many times I just passed everyone and came around the back but jeesh.
Most of what's been written I'll agree with and I'll add:
Passing in general: poor pass, poor reception. Passing to the guys wrong side etc....
Reinhart wasn't that noticeable like some have said. I watched him most every shift though and you can tell he has real hockey sense. Many times he was where the puck was going to be 5 seconds before the play got there. He had a few rushes up the wing, looking around, looking around, I can hear him saying to himself "Where is everyone". Also more than a few times the D had the puck behind the net ready to breakout, Reinhart got himself open and...... no pass, forcing him to circle around again.
Catenacci: I watched this guy many camps ago and was all a flutter with his sick stickhandling and fast feet. Last night he was slower than most. :(
Zadorov: Dudes crazy. He just buries people. Like I said last year, his passing still sucks.
Baptiste: This guys got some speed coming down the wall.
Rasmus: He's ready. Sick move in front of the net he almost put away. Good balance of hockey smarts and punishing hitter.
Were you there?
If you were you would have seen half the crowd was kids. The reserved section next to where I sat was a whole youth hockey league (Niagara I think). I'm pretty sure they got invited by the Sabres. Had the VIP tags, got photo with Sabretooth and free food/drink.
The only thing ripe here is a chance for someone to bring there kid to a Sabres game for free (let's face it a kid age 4-9 think they're the Sabres). The normal 3,000 or so were us SabreSpace scout types.
