Roster Matures As Sabres’ Myers Hit The Big 2-0
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on February 3rd, 2010
The Buffalo Sabres had one huge change to their roster Monday. For the first time all season, they didn’t have a teenager in the lineup.
No, rookie Tyler Myers wasn’t scratched against the Pittsburgh Penguins. But the defenseman celebrated his 20th birthday in Mellon Arena, elevating him from the rank of teenage sensation.
“That’s good,” coach Lindy Ruff said. “We don’t have any young players left.”
Myers’ teammates serenaded him with a few “Happy birthday, Tyler” catcalls in the dressing room after the morning skate. None, however, wrapped a gift for the big guy.
“No presents,” Myers said. “I treated myself to a brownie last night, but no presents.”
Well, except for the opportunity to be in the lineup against the defending Stanley Cup champions.
“I don’t think I’ve had any special hockey moments on my birthday, but I’m sure I’m always going to remember this one,” Myers said. “It does feel strange a little bit to not be a teenager anymore.”
