This just in, from TSN.ca: The Senators, as anticipated will begin their 2008-09 season in the Swedish capital of Stockholm. Daniel Alfredsson must be pretty flippin' excited, I would be. The game will be against the Penguins, despite the fact that Pittsburgh has no Swedish players on their roster. Ottawa's going to play an exhibition game against Frolunda, Alfie's old Swedish team, which will add more exitement to the season's opening.
There's also going to be games between the New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning in Prague, Czech Republic. The game times will be different so we can watch double-headers; awesome!
I'm excited. Even though it means one less home game during the season. Maybe I'll go to Sweden to watch the game...
