LOL now you know they were going to have that much coverage whether he had a hat trick or whether he played 2 shifts and felt a little light headed. But I guess it’s good for him and for hockey that he came back the way he did. ---

I think Pierre McGuire actually sucked Crosby’s dick last night. Or all the Versus guys took turns blowing him. ---

It’s probably a pretty big story when the best player to play the game since Lemieux returns after a year hiatis. If he was wearing a Buffalo jersey we’d have won a cup by now and Vanek would be putting up Malkin numbers. ---

If he was wearing a Buffalo jersey we’d have won a cup by now and Vanek would be putting up Malkin numbers. First game back in a year and the guy scores 2 goals, 2 assists, has almost 16 minutes of ice time, blocks a shot and ends up +3 on the night. Yeah, can’t imagine why he was a big story for the NHL. ---

Why we’d trade for another overpaid/under performing winger is beyond me. If they were talking about Getzlaf it’d be a different story. ---

You know what the funny part it. IIRC a trade doesnt have to deal with the players themselves till the trade is made. Meaning… If Buffalo wants to trade a player example: miller. They can set up the trade, make it happen and Miller can have no say in it. All the article says, Miller is not talking about trade. Are the Sabres, probably not, but can if they want to without him being aware about it. ---

According to the duck’s GM, Ryan is Off the table. [https://twitter.com/#!/RealKyper/statuses/142338915683139584](https://twitter.com/#!/RealKyper/statuses/142338915683139584) There’s another rumor that the sabres are working on a deal with the ducks, but that it wasn’t for Ryan. ---

> [@JayS](#): > > He’s married now, and she lives on the Left Coast. Would you want to deal with jet lag every time you wanted to get some? Can’t argue with that. I only stated the clause because yamba6 said the Sabres could deal him away without even telling him until the deal was made, which isn’t true. But yeah, even if Miller denies it, the west coast is probably a nice option in his mind. ---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ---------- > [@yamba6](#): > > completely forgot about this.
