Hey gang,
As I have mentioned before, I will try and pop by this site from time to time and give you all a heads-up of what our show looks like on a particular day. We'll hit on the Sens (on and off the ice), a crazy weekend in the NFL and more. If you think we're missing something, let me know and I'll try and squeeze it into the mix. But I have a feeling the Melnyk/Sens stuff is going to take over a large portion of our show.
