PREGAME 02.01.2010 - Buffalo Sabres

7:00pm Versus



I get back the hotel after a long at day at work. I'm about to get changed to head out to the game when the email alert on the WhistlerPhone (yes, it's called that) goes off.

It's the chief.

"Can you do a quick pregame post?"

*crickets*

How am I supposed to get dressed, put a pre-game post together and do some quality "paperwork" before I head out.

Well people you lucked out.

Call it dedication, call it stupidity. Call it that I really don't have to go.

Tonight, Ryan "Hope they don't see me Cry" Miller and the Northeast Division leading Buffalo Sabres come to town. The last meeting between these two teams, the Pens pulled a Marty Brodeur and crapped the bed and gave up a 3 goal lead to eventually lose 4-3.

Have they learned anything from that lesson?

Hope so.

THINGS YOU WANTED TO KNOW BUT WERE TOO LAZY TO LOOK UP:
  • Sidney Crosby has 299 career assists
  • Sergei Gonchar has 199 career assists
  • Alex "I'm made of paper" Goligoski is out AGAIN.


WHAT WHISTLER THINKS IS IMPORTANT TO THIS GAME:

That Whistler will be at the game.
