Sens game


This last week at work I was offered tickets to the Senators vs. Sabres game at the Corel Centre. The guys from work and I enjoyed a kick-ass suite, where we gorged on all the usual artery clogging fare, while watching the Senators continue to dominate. I was shocked at the towering size of defensemen Zdeno Chara (6'9"), who actually had the NHL rethink their rules on stick length, such that it is now limited to a percentage of your total height. This morning, Sophie and I compared what it would be like for her to stand next to this tree.

Unfortunately though, the talk of the night revolved around the 1.5 hour commute to the game due to a deadly crash on the Queensway. The game was actually delayed due to the lack of fans at puck-drop. I've never seen a city so dependant on one main artery running through it...doesn't seem sustainable for much longer.

    Lucky buggers! That must have super fun.

    When we went to see the men's olympic hockey camp, we stood beside the glass at ice level and I was shocked at how enormous some of those guys looked on skates...like 6'6" Chris Pronger, who probably looks short beside Chara.

    I thought this was interesting: Chara studying correspondence courses on road trips. On one hand, it's admirable that he's engaged and learning...but here's a guy who's going to make $40 million over his career...
