Ryan Miller Meet and Greet and #9's Behind

I got home from Buffalo last night around 2am. What a great weekend!!!

Ok so the game....not so great. I had pretty high hopes that we were going to beat the Islanders. 7-1 last time! 7 to 1! I was pretty psyched to see Mancari score though! Holler! What was I not psyched about? I was not a happy camper to see Ryan on the bench. I don't mind Lalime at all. I think he's great. But when I drive 3 hours to see a game, I want to watch Ryan. Also, I pretty much want to sit in the top row of the arena all the time! Top row's the way to go! We made some pretty dandy signs to put up on the wall too. hahahaha

After the game we discovered possibly the best thing to ever happen to downtown Buffalo. "Level" nightclub and Vitamin Water were throwing a bash for Derek Roy to support him and all-star voting. If that isn't great enough guess what this shin-dig was called! Wait for it...."GET BEHIND #9!" Is that not the funniest thing you ever heard?! I bet his "P.A" was first in line to "get behind."

The tree lighting was pretty cool. It was so cute to see everyone so "christmasy." Ryan Miller was so great with all the kids. He came out early and signed everything from jerseys to reindeer antlers. As much as I love him, and that's really a lot, he's quite awkward. His speech was so great and odd at the same time. Here's the cliffs notes version.....Ryan wants the ugliest holiday sweater he can find to make all the hockey wives cringe at the Christmas party. When Miller and "Big Goose Tall Goose" lived together they left their tree up until March. It was for the "ambiance." I also loved when Ryan thanked the mayor and nobody really clapped until he said "yay? everybody clap?" hahaha good times! Lucinda took a video of his speech but I'll let her post that.

The Meet and Greet was really nice! It was in a small room at the Smith Theatre next to Shea's. Tables were set with peppermint filled bowls and poinsettias and Christmas music was playing. There was a large table set up with dunkin donuts, coffee and hot chocolate. So cute! I was with my sister getting some coffee when Ryan came in. He grabbed a doughnut (omg he's so skinny! eat more doughnuts ryan!) and some hot chocoate and mingled his way through the room. His autograph table was in the corner of the room. He sat there and played with his iphone until everyone was ready to go.

He was so nice and it was a great time! The Rockette's show was AMAZING! I cried my eyes out at the end. I had a feeling I would. Oh....and we spotted another Sabre in the audience with his wife and 2 adorable daughters. The Numminens. They were so cute! Pretty much the best weekend ever. End of story.

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree

So when I heard that Ryan Miller was going to light the Christmas tree downtown in Buffalo I was pretty excited. I always miss the extracurricular Sabres activities. Lucky for me I'll be in town for the game Saturday night so we're going to stay for the lighting! YAY for Ryan Miller and Christmas. 2 of my favorite things!

So then upon further research I find out that Ryan is doing a meet and greet with the Radio City Rockettes @ Shea's. I AM SO EXCITED!!! I have wanted to see the Rockettes since I was a little girl. Watching them open the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is still my favorite part of Thanksgiving! We were going to get tickets for the show but never did. NOW I finally get to see the Rockettes, MEET the Rockettes AND RYAN MILLER!!!
I always get so excited when the Rockettes commercial comes on MSG during the games. I have a feeling that now I'm going to have a miny fit every time they come on. LoL
"Fill your heart with Christmas. Bring every goalie you love!"
