NASHVILLE - It's been a busy few days for the dads, fathers-in-law and other family members of the Buffalo Sabres' players, coaches and staff who were invited to join the team for their two-game road trip through Dallas and Nashville.
When the Sabres arrived Wednesday evening in Dallas, the group enjoyed each other's company at a team dinner. Then on Thursday, it was business as usual for the players. Meetings were held in the morning, and the parents could sit in on a few of them before they went on a tour of the Dallas Cowboys' practice facility.
Then they got to enjoy a 4-1 win over the Dallas Stars from the suites. After landing in Nashville early Friday morning, they settled into the seats at Bridgestone Arena to watch an afternoon practice session.
"Being around all these dads, the support, it's nice to see," Jack Eichel's dad Bob said. "It's so accommodating. We went to the Dallas Cowboys training facility yesterday. It's wonderful. And of course, all the food we get to eat. It's been great."
