Last nights NHL Hockey game (4/17/2013) in Boston with the Bruins taking on the Buffalo Sabres you knew it was going to be emotional. If you had not seen the game or the clips of the singing of the Star Spangled Banner at all, I recommend you find it online and watch. It was extremely emotional and humbling to hear 17,000 plus fans and players singing in unison. It was very humbling and hard to keep a dry eye for sure. The game itself was very hard fought and ended in a shootout, which Boston eventually lost, it culminated in another very emotional act – both teams went to center ice and gave a stick salute to the Boston fans. This is something that is usually reserved for the home team to do for their fans during a victory. I have to say, a very class act by the Buffalo Sabres players and organization. As a Boston Bruins fan, I was very touched and impressed by this classy gesture. Hats off to the Buffalo Sabres and a huge ‘Thank You’ for doing their part in helping Boston (and the nation) heal from a tragedy.
