Those Canuckleheads

Our 7-year-old, Greggie, went to his first National Hockey League game last Friday. The Buffalo Sabres defeated the Vancouver Canucks, 4-3 in a shootout, before a sellout crowd of 18,690 in HSBC Arena. (Greg, who attended with his friend Rumun, got home at 11:45 p.m.)

The arena was filled with more than its share of Vancouver fans. According to an article in the Vancouver Province, the steep price of hockey tickets at Canadian arenas forces fans to seek out seats in U.S. hockey cities like Buffalo. But what's up with the crack about drinking watery American beer?
