Hard for me not to pull for Sabre center Tim Connolly, taking this neutral zone faceoff against new Islander Mike York. Timmy hails from my hometown of Baldwinsville and was the Islanders' first draft pick in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft. As the fifth overall draftee, I believe Tim became the highest pick ever for a New Yorker...certainly for an Upstate Noo Yawker! I felt bad the day NY traded him to Buffalo and only wish him the eventual fulfillment of what I've always believed was a strong potential in the NHL! Good luck, Timmy! B'ville loves ya!!!
