The Sabres said today that Saturday's preseason game against Toronto is a sellout, but even fans without tickets can watch the players' annual carpet walk into the building beginning at 4:30. There's no red carpet this year -- it's going to be a blue and gold walk.
The players will be arriving in convertibles at the arena plaza area. MSG's Kevin Sylvester and Janet Snyder from KISS 98.5 FM will be the hosts.
