Winning 6-3 helps, with a lot of goals, but just in general, the in game experience is much better, more involved and fun. Every time the make some noise thingy came up, the place was rocking before the clip was half over. The people down here also love the team, I sat around 4 couples that were in their 60's or older and each goal, they were jumping and acting like teens. It was great to see.... I compare this to the avalanche game I went to a couple of weeks ago, where the 23 year old guy and his gf in front of me were legit playing solitaire and magic (or something similar) on their tablets the whole game.
That said, I do recall seeing buffalo great, the parties in the plaza, with the giant tinfoil Stanley cups, it's been so damn long, that maybe I just forgot what it feels like
