The Sporting News, September 15, 2008: Roommate Confidential

Thrashers forward Colby Armstrong spent 2/2 seasons in Pittsburgh before being traded to Atlanta in February, and during that time he got to know Penguins phenom Sidney Crosby pretty well. Armstrong shares tales from the road, including what it’s like to bunk with the brightest star in the game. Who's the best roommate you've had? I'd say Crosby. He’s pretty focused on hockey. When you're on the road, we got ready for the games the whole time. We like to relax, watch TV and hang out. It's pretty easygoing. He doesn't want to tunaround town. What was it like rooming with someone so famous? Depending on the city we were in, we'd make dinner reservations in the same spot. They knew we were coming every time. We'd let them know Sid was coming to make sure (distractions) are taken care of. What makes a good roommate? You have to be on the same page. The one thing with me and Sid, nothing really bothered him, He was a heavy, heavy sleeper. Plus, I snore alittle bit. It doesn't bother him. If Crosby is the best roommate, who’s the worst? My brother (Sharks forward Riley Armstrong). He's just annoying. He doesn't pick up after himself. He’s a little too comfortable around me. I haven't beat him up i na few years, so maybe one is on the way.
