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! ):

Lindy Ruff named head coach of Canadian team at World Championships.

From Yahoo! Sports:

CALGARY, Alberta (AP)—Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff will lead the Canadian team at the world championships.

Ruff just completed his 11th season with the Sabres. This is his first time to coach the Canadian national team.

Nashville coach Barry Trotz and Dallas’ Dave Tippett will serve as assistants.

Canada opens the world championships against Belarus on April 24 in Switzerland.

The team’s initial roster is expected to be announced Monday.

I obviously wish he were instead coaching the Sabres through the playoffs, but this will have to do. Congratulations to him for getting the honor!

Also, happy Easter to my blog friends and those who bother to stop by here every now and then. I should have Part One up later of what I learned yesterday from my brother about wanting to be a journalist.
