It is probably uncharitable to suggest that Phil Bourqe (the “Ol' Two-Niner”) may have imbibed one too many beers during last night's Penguins / Sabres match. He may not be all that good at adding the numbers “1” or “2” to a running points totals for teams in the “circonference”
And it is definitely uncharitable for me to laugh even harder at Bourqe's frustrated, nervous chuckle when Mike Lange (not so) innocently asked him to recap the League standings. By the time Lange announced that Bourqe would not be joining Steigy for the post game show, I was having trouble breathing.
Last night's game was hockey at it's best. Fast and skilled with referees smart enough to let the game flow organically and allow two of the top teams in the conference to play it out with minimal interference. The crowd was the loud, happy and Buffalo was well represented by the fans.
But the highlight of the evening was what happened before the game, when Mario Lemieux made the announcement that the Penguins would be staying in Pittsburgh for the next thirty years.
In celebration, I offer up hockey fights.

I was happy to see that the Pens would be staying in Pitt. You guys deserve for that team to stay.
