The Buffalo Sabres are hosting the Pittsburgh Penguins. With 11:32 left of the second period the score is 1-1.
Dave Andreychuck was a great player and it was nice to see the Buffalo Sabres honor him tonight.
Another great Sabre, Maxim Afinogenov, will likely never see his number retired, and I must say this guy is an enigma. There are few players who can skates as well as the 29-year old Russian, and he a a great hockey sense, yet his point production has always been sub par. Anyone who saw him play for Russia a few years ago would agree it is a mystery how he hasn't been the Sabres top point-scorer the last couple of seasons. So far tonight, he has been Buffalo's best player and he had a fantastic assist of the first goal. I hope he can keep this up throughout the season.
The old Buffalo jersey is among the most classic and best looking. So why, when they bring it back as a third jersey, do they ruin it by putting some stupid vertical line along the front and some ugly grey armpit on it? Who are designing jerseys nowadays? And Pittsburgh... they once fought the Bruins for the right to wear black, white and gold. Now they wear some sun-faded, sorry exuse for gold and it looks... sad.
