There's our little center.

I'm sort of frightened by this picture because it looks like he's giving me a look of 'I want you.' Sorry Derek, I don't want you.

Why does he look so smug too? Maybe he already knows that there's a small chance he'll make Team Canada with how many other awesome players are there. I'm so pessimistic for him.

Derek Roy lone Sabre invited to Team Canada Orientation Camp.

Oh my God, this is just like my last post except different guy and different team. No way guys.

Derek Roy is one of a million players (46 to be exact) going to the camp for Team Canada in Calgary next month. Team Canada is stacked in talent so I wouldn't be surprised if they won the gold in Vancouver next year. They are my third favorite team on the international level. Damn you Canada for having so many amazing players.

The Sabres actually signed someone yesterday and it wasn't via trade. Welcome to the team, Steve Montador! I'm quite proud of Darcy for doing business on the first day, that sly dog.

Let us not forget that our beloved Jaroslav Spacek has moved on and signed with Montreal yesterday (for more money than he's worth, sorry Spach).
I didn't know you long enough, Jaro! I miss you already! ):

Ryan Miller the lone Buffalo Sabre to be invited to the Team USA Orientation Camp

Team USA announced the invitees to the Orientation Camp for the 2010 Olympics, and Ryan Miller was one of them. I expected this as seeing there aren't many American goalies in the league as there is, and Ryan was supposed to play in the 2006 Olympics if it weren't for a broken thumb that kept him out of it. The big debate at this camp I think will be who will be the starter goaltender. If you asked me before this season, I would say Ryan hands down (and I'm bias). Tim Thomas has really come into his own the past two seasons and even won the Vezina trophy so you know there will be some major competition. I'll be interested as to see how everything goes.

Lindy Ruff named Associate Coach of Team Canada.

Our wonderful coach was named one of the Associate Coaches for Team Canada earlier today. The 'stache will be walking behind the bench when the Olympics come around next year, and I can't wait to see it. Congratulations to Lindy and the other coaches for being named to the team.

I still think either Russia or Sweden is going to dominate but that's just me...
