Ladies and gentleman, meet @JPeg, Jessie Pegula.
She's 50% of the 'Tweety Birds".Its the name that her Dad has bestowed upon Jessie and her sister Kellie for their penchant to tweet everything that is cool in their lives.
A couple weeks back, after the Sabres played the Penguins, Jessie wrote a game summary blog for Hockeybuzz.com. I am very impressed with her knowledge of the game and her takes on hockey, music, and pop culture. Its a standing offer that she can write again for Hockeybuzz.com whenever she feels the urge.
Jessie was cool enough to hang out and and answer questions today after the presser.
Here she is checking out her new sweater:
Jessie turns 17 on Thursday. go ahead and wish her Happy Bday here, and at twitter @JPegula.

Ted Black is the new President and alternate governor for the Sabres, as appointed by Terry Pegula today.
Here he answers questions for me. Mr. Bettman was a curious observer. Sabres former head coach, Joe Crozier, broke in to say hello to The Commish. Hilarious! FormerCheck it out:
