The Sabres Meet Their Fans
The Sabres were cleaning out their lockers today, and their fans were waiting outside. Starting at about 11 this morning, fans were on hand to cheer for, get autographs from, and thank the Sabres for a great season.
I spoke to Ann Marie Vanlew, who was there with her daughters, Gabrielle and Kelsey. Vanlew said it was a great day. “It’s great to see everyone here, and we’re happy to see our team,” she said of the Sabres who were stopping to sign autographs.
“Drury got out of his car and walked around, talking to the crowd and signing autographs. Everyone was very positive, and the guys thanked us for their support, “ Vanlew said. “We just wanted to thank them for a great season.”
We managed to catch Tim Connolly and Adam Mair on their way out, but fans were thick on both sides of the vehicle. Clarke MacArthur, pictured above, signed autographs while his boxer buddy calmly sat by, watching and waiting.
Apparently, many fans are happy for the long, exciting season and hopeful for next year. Loyalty is a virtue--ask the boxer.
