    Balsillie PIT Potential Owner, Bashes Buffalo Logo

    John Buccigross has a, um, conversation with new Penguins owner-in-waiting Jim Balsillie and he gives his first impressions of Week 1.


    2. The Buffalo Sabres' new logo is Barney Rubble's hair. Actually, it's Barney Rubble with slight bed head. The Sabres' road whites look like Flintstone Adult Pajamas that you would buy at Wal-Mart. Maybe these things will get better with repetition, like Guster's latest CD, "Ganging Up On The Sun," but I'm thinking the uniforms might be more like an MC Hammer CD and get worse.

      That quote was in Buccigross' column on ESPN.com
      "And I do have a wish, albeit one that cannot and will not be fulfilled. I wish... I wish that standing next to me right now, would be Ted Darling."

            Balsillie will move the Penguins. Pittsburgh is the 22nd-largest TV market in the United States and that number will likely move in the wrong direction in this century. Bigger market sizes (TV homes) that don't have NHL teams: Orlando (20th), Sacramento (19th), Cleveland (16th), Seattle (13th), Houston (10th) and Chicago (third). (For the record, Hartford is 28th. It's the largest TV market without a pro sports team and a larger market than Raleigh, N.C., Nashville, Tenn., Kansas City, Columbus, Ohio, and Buffalo, N.Y. A man can dream, can't he?)


            That is a good read.

              ahahaha OWNED.

              The Sabres logo is officially the laughing stock of the NHL.

              But then again this is coming from a guy whos looking to buy one of the worst teams in the league, thats the only bad thing he can say about Buffalo.

              DIE SLUG!!

                  But the Penguins have great potential to be very good for a long time. He'll buy them cheap.

                    Nobody mentioned this one

                    4. I think Ryan Miller might be the best goalie in the Eastern Conference

                    or

                    5. As I watched the Flyers-Rangers game Saturday night, I wondered, "Are these two teams fast enough? They look slow." How can they play with Buffalo, Anaheim, San Jose, Minnesota or Edmonton? Maybe they had a bad night.

                        Hopefully more and more media people come out and bash our logo big time. Maybe the Sabres will be forced to change it out of embarassment.
