Traditions for Sabres fans

[Eichless21]

So I am bringing my 5 year old to his first Sabres games Friday + Saturday  and I want to do with him what I have done for the past 16 years. If there was a game on Saturday night, I would always go to the morning skate. I would follow that up with autographs outback and a nice spaghetti parm at chefs. After the game that night we would get just pizza and wings. Can anyone tell me If they are still doing the morning skate open to the public?

Unsure about morning skates. Chefs is still there though. 

Got lots of pizza and wing suggestions

Pizza, wings, beef on weck.  Start with that.

Try calling the arena Monday. Talk to account services and pick their brain.

I hear that a lot.  I donno man.  I’m from Canada so we don’t have la Nova here.  Maybe it’s the tradition or novelty of it but best pizza and wings I’ve ever had.

I get it… Everybody has their unique tastes and preferences. I’m glad it works for you!

I am more of a Bocce’s Pizza guy myself… But it’s probably the fact that I grew up on it. My parents would always get that pizza because it was sorta close to my house growing up, so that was my parents pizza of choice. And so now that’s usually what I get when I do buy pizza. it’s crazy how the prices have gone up so much… just a couple days ago I ordered a large pizza with just one topping… And it was $26!

I would recommend Bocce Club or Imperial over La Nova, unless you want the Soprano's vibe.

Our family tradition is to go to Pearl St Grill before the games. It's my 14 year old son's favourite restaurant. The Buffalo Chicken pizza is tough to beat.

Right now I have only two Sabres traditions.

I celebrate the yearly Patrick Kane to Buffalo thread in November, and the yearly irate fan call from Bruce in Amherst in April.

My go to Pizza is Mister Pizza and my favorite wing place that doesn't require a wait list to get into is Sidelines.

I got thinking so much about the food I also forgot to mention we always get there real early in time to catch the pregame skate. If you're real early the kids can lineup in the section by where the Sabres come out of the dressing room and get a high 5 as they come out.

My traditions for the past 5-6 years has been drinking too much and throwing up a lot. Kinda like watching yesterday's Bills game.

Christmas Pannies. A tradition imported from Sweden. 

Thanks @MODO Hockey!

Catching a day (typically opening day) of training camp.  But Krueger only wanted fans at the "public" sessions.  So that tradition that went back to the mid-80's was trashed.

Maybe will start it back up next year.
