I've been taking some flack for my support of Canada' Team of Destiny , your OTTAWA SENATORSSSSSSSSS.
As you probably know, I could give a flying crap. I'm just like a lot of my friends, sick to death of the Leaf organization and their lack of action on anything except raising ticket prices every year.
Happy 40 years of futility fans...now suck down another price increase.

I've had a bunch of people writing. One said, "But there are more Canadians on the Ducks!"
How weak is that argument. The Ducks are based in America, the Sens are based in Canada. Duh, we live in Canada ergo...oh forget it.

Yesterday I got this comment:
HH, you are a shit disturber.
Go DUCKS Go.
They're going to win another one tonight and the AlfredSENS are history.

I thought the AfredSens thing was clever. As for shit, I really don't like to disturb it, honest. I say leave it alone and let it be for crying out loud, its shit and it shouldn't be dealt with.

I thought the best perspective came from my old pal Bruce Barker.

For me it is rather simple since I covered the 2004 cup final in Calgary and last year in Edmonton which both ended in game 7 heartbreaks ....I have to go with Ottawa for 2 reasons.

One of those is very simple I WANT THE STANLEY CUP IN CANADA and yes I am a Leaf fan but I would rather see the cup in the nations
capital before it is in Disneyland.
And the personal reason is that my good pal Jason Spezza plays for the Senators and after all the stuff we went through when we were together with the Mississauga Icedogs HE DESERVES A STANLEY CUP RING !!!!!!
So there you have it GO SENS !!!!!!!!!!

So there you have it.

My buddy Thom Roberts sent me this picture. Pretty much says it all don't it?

My niece Zoe, who is just the super-coolest, has started to check in on her Uncle's little blog occasionally and sent me this.
Thanks Zoe. I'll bet if you were a CBC producer you'd hire me.
She thinks this video is funny and so do I.
It's from my old pal George's show.

One of my pals Craig Venn checked in with me recently. I first met him working in Brampton at the old chicken factory. Ah those were the days. Working in a strip mall across from St. Hubert's and the smell of bad take-out and dead chicken carcasses.
Craigy was just a lad then. This was before working with the Dark Lord. He was just a good guy with a great sense of humour.

He is hosting the morning show in Windsor these days at The Rock.
He mentioned he is settling in with his family and he loves the proximity to Detroit.

"It is great being 15 minutes from the border, Red Wings, Tigers, decent restaurants and for Maria, amazing shopping. I can not believe that you can go to a Red Wings game and get a decent seat for 40 dollars. I went with a bunch of listeners to a Red Wings/Oilers game and we had a dinner in the Champions lounge. I could not understand the photos they had on the wall of Red Wings players celebrating with something they call the Stanley Cup. Scotty Bowman was lying on the ice with all the players around him and I thought he had a stroke; turns out they were just posing for the photo. Seems, that’s what you do when you win this thing called “The Cup.” Being a Leafs fan for so long I did not understand."
