So… my Senators are in Goteborg, Sweden, preparing for the beginning of the 2008-09 season.  They’ll open in Stockholm on October 4 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.  The NHL is showcasing the league in Europe and this’ll be the second year that NHL teams have started the season in Europe – last year, LA and Anaheim opened their seasons in London, England.

As you can imagine, the local Ottawa press is present in droves, covering the Senators as they prepare for the season opener.  One of the members of the press corps, Stuntman Stu,  will be in Stockholm later this week.  Stu is the Senators PA Announcer and co-hosts the morning drive show on Team1200.  I found this clip on the Senators website and post it here as it is very funny.

So much for an ass kicking being handed to the Leafs. When ya don’t turn up to play, ya don’t tend to win hockey games.

It’s flu-shot season here in Ontario. We distributed our first 200 shots in less than a week. Waiting for more. Wonder if I should have ordered the entire load in one shot?

Why do they make bowel prep products such that they taste horrible and cause you to upchuck before they can work?

What’s the deal with these “pro-vitamins”? Are there amateur vitamins as well?

How come every time I go on a vacation in the south to take advantage of the nice warm weather, the weather is shitty and cold? Three trips to Florida and one to Cuba in the past 10 years…
