Quick Note...I will have my rumor update to follow where I discuss what I have found out about yesterday's rumors that I was chasing. There is also some very interesting news breaking out of Calgary that I am chasing. I am juggling family vacation with blogging again today as we embark on Aquatica in Orlando. The new water park that is connected with SeaWorld. as you all know, my family LOVES waterparks. We will also be at Seaworld as well. I will be "mini blogging" while on vacation for this coming week meaning I will be updating the news as I get it throughout the day via the box below. It is really an easy way for me to spend time with my wife and kids and also get you the latest info as I get it. Many of you have actually told me that you preferred it.
Keep Checking Back as I will Update my Twitter Throughout the Day Between Posts Below
How it works is the twitter feed box below updates the second I type into my iphone so you may want to check back every now and again into a blog you think you already read. It will always change. Of course if soemthing major goes down I will add a new headline.
Thanks for your understanding as I really am looking forward to spending time with the family. My wife's family has a place in Longboat Key Florida (neighbors with Scotty Bowman and Chara) and we usually do this trip between Christmas and New Years, but I decided to change it to Thanksgiving this time around because it makes it so much easier. This is the first time I haven't packed winter clothes to come to Florida in three years. Usually I am jetting to the Winter Classic in the midst of this!
This vacation is important because we are heading into what will be the craziest of all years. The Winter Classic, then the Trade Deadline, and oh by the way the Olympics in Vancouver. I need to spend time with my wife and kids now because I won't see them unitl MID MARCH!
Thanks!
The Following is a press release I received from the Penguins. I LOVE THIS TEAM. They are constantly trying new things and not because they have to. because they want to...so check out below...
The Pittsburgh Penguins have created a 30-minute Russian-language radio show devoted to Russian NHL fans that will air each week on the Penguins’ new HD radio station (105.9 HD2).
“NHL In Russian” (“NXL Na Russkom”) will also be streamed live on www.pittsburghpenguins.com and www.nhl.com.
The show, created in partnership with the National Hockey League, will feature interviews with Russian NHL players and legends, as well as NHL news and notes.
It will air at 8:30 a.m. eastern time on Tuesday mornings in the U.S. (4:30 p.m. in Moscow). It also will be repeated several times and be available via podcast.
“NHL in Russian” will debut on Tuesday, Nov. 24. Special guests on the inaugural show will be 2009 NHL scoring champion Evgeni Malkin and Russian hockey legend Igor Larionov.
The host will be Gera (George) Birman, a native of Ukraine who was been a Pittsburgh Penguins front office employee for the past 10 years. In recent years, Birman has served as an interpreter for Malkin and been featured on a number of media interviews. Birman will be joined by Oleg Mejeritski of Sovietsky Sport and Alena (Alyonka) Larionov, currently a host of Pens TV.
“We know there is immense interest in NHL hockey in Russia, and we thought this would be a unique way to take advantage of current technology and create a show devoted to Russian fans,” said Penguins president David Morehouse. “We believe there is a huge Russian fan base that will be interested in staying informed about Russian players and NHL news.”
“The NHL’s Russian-speaking fan base is passionate and growing,” said Gregg Baldinger, director of NHL Radio. “By creating this innovative audio programming, the Penguins are providing greater access for Russian NHL fans to engage with the sport they love.”
The Penguins recently became the first team in professional sports to launch an exclusive HD radio channel. Steve Mears and Tom Grimm host “Penguins Live” every weekday from 9:30 a.m-12 noon.
