A Team Full of Babies

I always thought the Toronto Maple Leafs had a bunch of players who wined and got calls their way. This opinion was officially changed tonight when I attended the Pittsburgh Penguins Buffalo Sabres preseason finale. Pittsburgh's Maxime Talbot (who had a goal and assist and is one of my sleepers), Jordan Stall, Brooks Orpik, Sidney Crosby, and Darryl Sydor. Crosby was too busy sleeping in his crib in Cole Harbour, NS (birthplace) because his bed time is still 7 o'clock with the hockey season not officially starting yet for Pittsburgh. One more word on Pittsburgh, they have a solid lineup and I really like Ryan Whitney a d man who is real nice anchor for them on the powerplay, but they got a pretty big Achilles heel and that is their goaltender Marc Andre Fluery. I am glad we've got Miller because this guy, whenever I see him, is never impressive.
In other news, apparently there has been a new name added to the color commentary position for the Sabres. Some of you might know him form Hockey Night in Canada. He is from Amherst. Do you know who I'm talking about? Unfortunately it is not Don Cherry, but this guy has got some nice experience.

it is Harry Neil. Thats pretty cool. We shall see. Personally I want Roby, but if he doesn't take the job Harry Neil is a great idea.
The game itself tonight was good. Buffalo jumped out to a two goal lead, then Pittsburgh went up 3-2, and then Buffalo answered real quickly with two goals. Exciting game expect for the Pittsburgh Winers. A lot of Canadians were at the game tonight supporting Pittsburgh because of Sid the Baby. Oh well, goes with living in Buffalo; the Canadian invasion. And another note about the game, it was the first game in forever that it wasn't sold out. But I don't think they count that. There was 17, 856 fans at the game.
