This Is Why I'm Hot

There was an interesting article in The Hockey News yesterday. Interesting because it was basically the exact article that The Blue & White posted only hours earlier. We here at The Blue & White know we're pretty kickass, but to have the most respected hockey publication in the world blatantly plagiarize our work...well, that's just fucking fantastic. Check out their opinion on the goaltending, and the defense. Copycats!

So, there you have it - The Blue & White is as smart as The Hockey News, except with more cursing, the occasional link to pictures of beautiful women, and a constant desire to put down meat head Leafs fans everywhere. And when are those ever bad things?

On To Something You Actually Care About:
The Leafs are in Buffalo tonight to take on the Sabres. After a slow start, the Sabres are rounding into form - last game they fired 53 shots at the Washington Capitals on their way to a 7 goal performance. The Leafs do not want to face a Sabres team that is on its game. The good news for the Leafs is that Ryan Miller may sit the game out as he has played every game for the Sabres thusfar, and has recently lost a close cousin to cancer. Ouch.

If you can, make sure to watch the Sabres' regional coverage of the game. You'll get to listen to the best play-by-play man in the business - Rick Jeanneret - call the game with Harry Neale by his side. After covering the Leafs' regional broadcasts for 25 years (and continuing at Hockey Night In Canada), Neale knows the Leafs as well as anyone. He isn't the Harry Neale of old to be sure, but being able to listen to Mr. Jeanneret call a game is easily worth putting up with a few of Harry's blunders.
