Very true. It is difficult to asemble a cohesive team where people know their roles and execute only that every night.

Can we have one of your goalies?
I bet Vancouver will pick up one of Buffalo's or Minnesota's goalies before season is done.
Watch it happen...
There's some speculation about that actually since both BUFFALO's top goalies make starter cash (BIRON & MILLER). But I don't know, I think BUFFALO will want a big, tough defenseman in return.
But I'm pretty sure their cap number is on the low side, so they can make the call...
But, the fans were chanting "Marty" last night, and doing the wave...I dunno, a trade might be tough...They have great chemistry.
Well, that's about it I think. Consecutive wins over Ottawa, and then NYR and now Philadelphia on the road by the mighty Vancouver squad show we are ready to take Cup.
Great thing is team has yet to really gel and top line isn't performing quite yet. And we are using our backup goalie to boot.
Now I guess we go back to playing out divisional matchups for the next twenty games (thanx alot Bettman you fag!)
#1, he DESERVES it, I don't give a rat's ass that he's 18 years old.... He's been the best player nearly every game this year, and he's shown the most leadership, even with most of the oldtimers twice his age, which reverts to #2...
#2, this will put some serious heat into those veterans who haven't done squat this year (see: Gonchar, Recchi, LeClair, and yes, some would even say Lemieux)...
The Pittsburgh Penguins have a new alternate captain - Sidney Crosby.
New head coach Michel Therrien appointed the 18-year-old as the team's other alternate captain along with Mark Recchi on Friday.
''I really believe this is a new beginning for our team,'' Therrien said. ''He is one of our best players. I am not afraid to give him – I don't think it's pressure because, eventually, it's going to be Sidney's team. Sid has some good veterans to work with. He has Mario [Lemieux], Mark Recchi, John LeClair, Lyle Odelein. We have a core group, but I want Sid to learn from those guys. He is a young kid, but sometimes a young kid has good, new ideas.''
The Penguins' staff affixed the 'A' to the left shoulder of Crosby's jersey shortly after the announcement.
''It's great for the coach to show that I have that responsibility. I feel pretty honoured,'' Crosby said. ''I take it pretty seriously. I will try to do a good job making sure I show leadership.
''It's something that's nice to have. It's a challenge and motivates you that much more. I am more than happy to have it.''
Crosby, who has shown leadership skills all season, was recognized for them last year, too. He wore an 'A' on his Rimouski Oceanic jersey last season in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
''It's important to lead by your actions most of all,'' he said. ''It's good to communicate, you don't ever want to worry about that, but to be a leader on the ice and lead by your play is most important. Sometimes actions speak louder than words. I will try to do that.''

I'm pretty sure Buffalo wants a rematch. The CANUCKs drubbed them 5-0 at home. But, the Sab's played the previous night when VANCOUVER rested, and the SABRES had played 7 games in the previous 12 days as I recall. We'll see.
Buffalo has to get past OTTAWA though, but OTTAWA's looking more & more vulnerable as of late.
