Day: October 9, 2008

Well I’m finally back from a long summer that finished up with a two week trip to Europe and the back to back games in Prague. I certainly apologize for not having everything ready to go for the start of the season, but as you can imagine there are things in life that sometimes take precedence…not to mention the preparations for the whirlwind four country, two week tour of Europe.

For those who haven’t been, Paris, Munich, Vienna and Prague are all worth the effort. I definitely preferred Vienna and Prague, as unique places to go, but each of the cities had a uniqueness to them that is different from anything you’ll find in North America.

Even though one of the games in Prague was classified as a “home” game for purposes of faceoffs and line changes, the real opener at MSG will come tomorrow night against the Blackhawks (7:00pm – MSG).

One of the players who will make his debut on MSG ice is defenseman Wade Redden…a player that The Daily News says has already answered his critics. Perhaps a tad prematurely in my opinion.
