Sabres Christmas house loves Thomas Vanek, inducing seizures

(Ed. Note: No Trending Topics or Puck Previews tonight; we'll have coverage of the games and Three Stars later.)

When it comes to Christmas lights, I'm a curmudgeon. They're hard to put up, it's cold, you have to climb a ladder, they're always tangled, and so on. I'm the guy who spends ten minutes power-stapling a cheap string of lights around the garage and calls it a day.

But it's hard not to get behind the people that put a lot of effort into it. This house, for instance, is awesome, and doubly so if you're a Buffalo Sabres fan. The fabulous light show ends with Rick Jeanneret's call of a Thomas Vanek overtime goal versus the Washington Capitals. Seriously:

Awesome but nerdy tidbit some may have missed: that piece of music is from the final act of Aram Khachaturian's ballet, Gayane. It's�called the "Sabre Dance". Brilliant.

But seriously, can you imagine living next door to this house? Heck, can you imagine living next door to this house if you were a Caps fan? The last thing you want is to relive that call once every two minutes from sundown to noise curfew.
