Stuck A Feather In His Cap & Called It A Zamboni !
My 1st foray into the 'N.H.L.' with the Fz30 & also my 1st foray into this 'PBlog' stuff...
Unedited & resized only (except for this shot, which required straightening & a crop)... Shot in 'P' or 'A' @ ISO 100, w/ White balance set manually on the ice @ full zoom & all manually focused (wish I'd have brought the B28 for this particular shot)

New Sabres Logo
The 3rd generation begins...
In a questionable attempt to rekindle 'The Good Ole Days'...
Looks too much like a cartoon 'Thought Bubble' to me..
I would've preferred The 2nd generation Goathead & a mere color change to these colors...
Just a note...
While there might be some under-exposure in the subsequent shots below... To my eye, IRL, the new Blue Uniform color truely looks as dark & hardly distiguishable from black as you see here...
I believe they should've found a color somewhere lighter than this but darker than the 1st generation blue, which was more of a Royal Blue...

Then eventually succumbed to the Pepper, for a Sabre C.F.B.V. (Come-From-Behind-Victory)....

Perfect Not But A Win None-The-Less
Thank heaven for a usable manual focus ring when there's some mesh to shoot through...
