Blockbuster news! While watching the season opener, Ottawa Sens vs Toronto Maple Leafs, TSN announces that RIM founder Jim Balsillie is the new owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Wow! Speculation: will he keep the team in Pittsburgh, or are they coming to Southern Ontario (Hamilton, or Kitchener?). And can Southern Ontario support a third NHL franchise alongside Buffalo and Toronto?
I think it’s tough to be a Maple Leafs, or a Habs fan at the moment, and be out of the playoffs. Increasingly, they’re joining the Sens bandwagon. After all, what are you going to do? Quit watching hockey for the rest of the season? Nah! This week one of our developers, Noam, finally broke down and got some Sens-wear. And, Randy Morin, despite being a die-hard leafs fan, sent me a link to his new MySpace page Sens layout.
Welcome aboard the bandwagon, guys!
Go Sens Go! Rev Up The Red!
