Happy Fourth of July, and Canada Day...

Hello and welcome to a shortened version of the TundraTalk. I just want to wish you all a happy holiday this weekend. Fourth of July is always one of my favorite holidays simply because you get to drink tasty beverages in the great outdoors and you also get to blow shit up. Fireworks my friend, fireworks.

We are going away to Jasper this weekend and we have a good drive ahead of us. I will of course take my iPod with me and I was thinking of making a playlist for the trip. Then I thought I would share the artists that are on it with you. So here we go...

Dixie Chicks - The long way home - Donna bought this the other day and I listened to it. I know you are saying "Chris, what the hell, that is country music". Well, Rick Rubin produced it, and it is damn good. Besides, the Dixie Chicks were right, and I know that burns the hell out of a lot of right wingers. SHOW ME THE WMD'S. Nothing more patriotic than questioning your government. Nick, save it, I can write you email for you so just leave it alone.

Gear Daddies - You can't go wrong with the Gear Daddies. Shawn Hauser once said that he thought that Billy's live bait was the best road album he ever heard. It just made him want to hit the road. You are right my friend, you are right. Martin Zellar's Born Under album is right there with it.

Replacements - Nuff said.

Liz Phair - Liz Phair. Just good rock n' roll here. Liz Phair is also a great lyrical album.

Great Big Sea - Turn Nothing better than a good kitchen party and the Great Big Sea have proclaimed themselves as the best Kitchen Party Band. Great newfie music.

Tina and the B-Side Movement - Young Americans - Nothing more patriotic than an album with the title Young Americans.

Soul Asylum - Live from the Grand Forks Prom - More great midwestern rock.

Wilco - Summerteeth - Great road music. Johnny H and Popkey and I saw these guys in Madison. Made the road trip. Ah, good times.

Neil Young - Living with War - This is a great album. Please go buy it. Great Canadian singer.

OddsnEnds

Dinosaur Jr, Danko Jones, Tragically Hip, Weezer, White Stripes, Violent Femmes, The Presients of the USA, Johnny Mellencamp, Nirvana, The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite, Grnals Barkley, Foo Fighters, G. Love and Special Sauce, and of course the Barenaked Ladies.

Gonna Be a great roadie...



Happy Canada day also. The jersey I am wearing was sent to me by James Williams, of the Regina Williams', and it is an authentic Gretzky 99 jersey. NICE. I will get that bad boy autographed the next time he is here. That was unexpected and very appreciated. Thanks James. Also on the unexpected and appreciated front. During the playoffs Robbie DuPuis, of the Chicago soon to be Minneapolis DuPuis', sent me a whole box of Funyuns. That Was Awesome!!! I would show you a picture of me and the box but, well, uh, they are gone. I ate them and shared them with non believers here in Canada. Truly the only manly snack. Currently not available here in Canada.

Speaking of Canada Day, Robby Mac, of the LA Robby Macs, sent me a note for all of those who are in Edmonton, His bro is hosting a party at Overtime. He descibes it as such...

"It is, as the kids say, Chillaxed ( i guess thats a combo of chill and relaxed or else someone who is chilling might get axed!)
Either way all are invited!"

thanks Robby consider it passed on. Here are a few pics to add. Have good weekend....

Warren Moon, Hall of Famer...

Look who wandered into my lens framing on Friday. Warren Moon, the first African American quarterback to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He won 5 Grey Cups with the Edmonton Eskimos and played 17 years in the NFL. Unfortunately a couple with the minnesucka viqueens.

Moon was in town supporting the "Best Quarterback Reciever Tandem" in CFL history promotion for Making the Connection a promotion that wants everyone to check their cholesterol. Here is the LINK to their website. Have a look.

Warren was very cool in the interview and even mentioned a story about Reggie White. He said when he was with the queens he was rolling out on a bootleg that Cris Carter was to block Reggie then release into the flat for a pass. Well Reggie just kept Carter on the block and pushed Moon farther out toward the sideline then picked up Carter and threw him at Moon. He sacked Moon by throwing Carter on top of him. Amazing. Reggie was unbelievable.



Warren threw a few passes to Brian Kelly for the cameras and he still looks like he could play.



After the interview he signed my program from the night that his number was retired on the ring of honor in Commonwealth Stadium. Very cool. Sorry Shawn, I only had one Moon item or I would have gotten you an auto also. I know he is your favorite.

Good day at work on Friday.

Last day of hockey for about two months..

So yesterday was the last day of hockey for the year. June 21st and I was still covering hockey. Wow, that is weird. Actually the rookies reported for camp on monday. Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals and the Oilers rookies are having a camp at RExall place. Nice. As you can see above is the Western Conference Championship Trophy, the Campbell Bowl. I finally had a chance to snap a pic of it. JJ, the media guy for the Oilers, took the lid off of it and showed me that on the inside it says rep. Meaning it is a replica. Now you would think that if a team had just won the western conference they would actually have the actual trophy on hand to give. Nope, replica. It still is a nice looking tophy though.


Anyone want an autograph?

Part of garbage bag day is the players sign a ton of stuff for auctions and gifts. The Oilers on this day had over 1500 items to sign. That is unbelievable. Pronger said it best when he walked in, "It looks as if I will be signing my life away today." Uh, yeah.

Garbage bag day is called that because the teams often just empty the players stuff from their lockers into black garbage bags. The Oilers however do not do that. The Eskimos, do. Just put all their stuff in a garbage bag. I would be pissed if it were me.

Well it has been one hell of a ride and I hope for all of you who actually followed along you enjoyed what you saw and read. I enjoyed putting it all on the blog for you. It was a great thing to experience for my career that is only rivalled, almost, by the Packers run to two super bowls in the late nineties. I did not get to go to the Super Bowl, because Joel Bernell was and I am sure still is, a dick, in my opinion. So this kinda wins out because I got to travel and see the final.

Doug Helbing sent me an email early on in the run asking me to move to Chicago so his Cubs would win the world series...

Doug Wrote - Hey Chris, I'm sure you are pretty busy, but I was wondering if when
you were in Green Bay were the Packers making there championship runs,
and if they were could you maybe move to Chicago and follow the Cubs
and Bears for me.

Sorry Doug, I would love to move to Chicago, it is a beautiful city, BUT, the Bears will always suck, and the Cubs, well are just the Cubs. I don't think I can do anything with that curse. I was however in Des Moines, Iowa when Kerry Wood was there so at least I did that for you.

So thank you for following along to my ramblings and humoring me with your time. I appreciate it alot. I just am sorry that I could not do more podcasts for you. I just was way too busy. Until next time. I will see you once a week during the CFL and will try to get some podcasts from the players. Maybe Ricky Williams when he comes thru with the ARgonauts. Wouldn't that be exciting?

Shoot something other than Hockey? No!

Today I shot something other than Hockey. NO! Say it ain't so? Really, I did. Champ Car had an event today at the city center airport. It was the media go cart challenge. They had Sebastian Bourdais come in to race the fast carts on a makeshift course and the media was challenged to beat his time. Nice.



Now I would like to tell you that I got in that cart and wiped the street with that Bourdais chump, but I can't. He is quite good. He is leading the Champ Car standings right now and was the champion last year. He took the track and did it in 15.1 seconds. Very fast. Almost like he knows how to drive.

So I get out there and give it a go. First thing, my ass was too big for the seat, so I had to sit on the front edge of the seat. I know you can only imagine me in one of those stupid carts. Well you won't, because Brad Reid shot my laps. I will get it put up here as soon as I can. Next, my knees were around my ears. Oh and that Bourdais kid only ways a quarter of what I do. Now these are not excuses, just qualifications.

I did the lap at a blazing 20.88 seconds. I know I suck. I used to pride myself on being a champion go cart guy. I have run kids off of tracks in Wisconsin just to be the best. No I really have.



As you can see in the pic above, I even ran Donna into the rail just to get that win. Needless to say I was not allowed back on that track in Door County. David Peltier, a damn figure skater, was the winner of the amatuers there. He had a time just over 16 seconds. Cheater.

Anyway, I will from now on be in training for the race next year. No one, not even a Champ Car Champion is going to beat me on the go cart track.



While we were ther the Bell Blimp flew over our heads. Nice pic...

Have a nice Day...

Sunday is Fathers Day...

On Fathers day this year I had a great day. Mostly because I did not have to work. McKenna and Donna made breakfast for me in the morning. Nice. I recieved a nice piece of art work from the Day Care from McKenna. Very nice. Plus a new watch. Good day.

McKenna also took me to see her favorite cartoon character live on Fathers day. Dora the Explorer's Pirate Adventure. Now, if you remember my rant on Blues Clues, there will be no rant on this show. It was a much better production. The sound system kinda sucked but other than that it was okay.

No, wait, I did have one complaint, or more just an observation. If you know the show, you know that Dora has a friend named Boots that is a monkey. Now, how do I say this? The person that was cast as Boots was an African American. Is it out of line for me to be upset with that? Or am I just to PC? He was a very talented gymnast and did a fine job with the part but I just could not get the irony(?) out of my head. As Trev said, "I guess and actor needs to act." None of the kids in the arena would ever see that in a negative way, so I guess we all just need to see the world as a kid does. Colorblind.



Anyway, it was a lot of fun to go with McKenna to the show and she had a blast. Good Fathers day.

Game 6 a must win...

Game six has come and went and man was it a good one. The Oilers won 4 to nothing over the Hurricanes forcing a game 7 in Carolina. This makes me happy on a couple of levels. One the guys on the Oilers are good guys and have worked hard through a lot of tough things this playoffs and I would like to see them win for that reason. Plus those New York NHL types that have been bitching for three games that it is not over and how much they hate coming to Edmonton now have to get on a plane again and fly to Carolina to work some more. It is amazing how people who are used to having New York City around them think how crappy Edmonton is because they don't have a crack dealer on every corner and a fashion model walking the sidewalk. Maybe the model and the crack dealer are the same person. Anyway, now they have to work some more and that pisses them off and their inconvenience makes me smile.

The game was awesome and the crowd was loud. Really loud. This rink is soo loud. I will publish some video for you to listen to....Enjoy.



Game six noise on Vimeo


Team Score

We had the usual lives after the game except this time the boys had to be at the airport to make the charter by 11:15pm. So we had less to do today and it was all good. Team Score rocks.


Hamilton goes back in time...

I just could not resist the chance to jump on the Zamboi. NO I did not get to go out and resurface the ice like I did back in the day in Green Bay, but I just wanted to get back on a Zamboni again. Mastercard, it's everywhere you want to be.

Here is a flashback photo of me back in Green Bay...


I wanna drive the Zamboni

I might remind you that that Zam right there was the oldest Zam in operation at the time and was also the Zamboni that was in Happy Gilmore when Happy was skating with the chick and the Zam guy was signing along with endless love. I drove that Zamboni. My 15 minutes was up a long time ago.



I might also add that I am wearing in that photo was at the time, my most prized possesion. The Hamilton Gambler jersey. That was stolen at an Oiler game here in the year 2001. Interesting side story, I told that story to Matt Greene, who is now an Oiler and a former Gambler, and he told me he would give me his the next time he went home. Nice guy. Matt Greene is my favorite Oiler. He will be playing in the game on Monday. He hits like a linebacker. Awesome to watch.

Friday more of the same...

Scrum in the mix zone

Okay, I know that the Oilers and 'Canes have nothing new to say since yesterday, but I guess we need to feed the beast so they make the athletes available so we can ask them the same questions as we did yesterday. As you can see from the picture above Hamish joined the scrum today and used my step stool. Hamish is, on a good day, about five foot tall, so on the bad days in scrums like this he either stands right in front of me or borrows the stool so he can almost be as tall as the rest of us.


Athletes perspective

In case you were wondering what it feels like to be on the other end of a scrum like this, well here it is. Kinda intimidating, I don't really know how those boys do it. All the lights and cameras. This was a small scrum so it wasn't as bad as it can get.


Ice level

I found this piece of plexi in the boards at the zamboni entrance today. Nice ice level shot. Cool as hell. If I had known it was there I would have used it before this. Oh well.

Big game tomorrow, game 6. I hope that the Oilers come to play. It would be nice for them to force a game 7.

Transcript of press conference...

ATTENTION, THE FOLLOWING TRANSCRIPT INCLUDES MANY INSIDE JOKES. IF YOU HAVE NOT OR WILL NOT EVER ATTEND THE ROAD HAWGS SUMMER FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THE JOKES. DISREGARD THIS POST. HAVE A NICE DAY.

Here is the transcript of the press conference that Sergio and I held yesterday for the members of the media...

SERGIO: Okay, we are going to begin this press conference with Coach Peterson. Just so you all know, there will be only one question allowed per person and no questions, no mentioning, and absolutely no inferences of the phrase 5-2 in any way shape or form. Understood? Thank you. AND Cairns Sucks. Okay, you in the back go ahead...

REPORTER: Do you feel you have your team prepared adaquately for the August long weekend tournament in Edmonton? More importantly for the drinking that it involves?

SERGIO: I am sorry that was two questions, don't do it again. In fact that is one less question that the coach will answer today. Don't F with coach. Strike one. Cairns Sucks.



COACH: That is an average question, very predictable. Of course our team is ready for the long weekend. They have been working very hard at thier skill and have been running drills. Think about it people, these guys are professionals. Some of these guys train 365 days a year, and have been doing this for their entire adult lives. They do not need me to get them ready, if they do we are in a real hurtbag. To answer your quesiton in a short sentence...My boys will be ready to drink and party, no one can come even close to these guys alcohol tolerance.

The real question is that friggin' van gonna be ready for the road trip accross hell?

SERGIO: Next, Only one question please. You the ugly one up front.

UGLY REPORTER UP FRONT: Is the rumor true that the team this year will be staying away from the usual clubhouse and has been banned from the premisis? We have heard that there was property damage last year and that the boss has kicked you out.

SERGIO: Dammit, only one question.

COACH: We have heard those same rumors and all I can say is that this is internal team business and we will take care of it internally. I will say that I have not been kicked out as of yet. Yet. Oh, and Cairns Sucks.

SERGIO: Next, you, the stupid one in the middle...yeah you, the one with the Cleveland Browns shirt on. Man is that stupid.. Go ahead.

STUPID ONE IN THE MIDDLE: Will there be any pillowbiting this year?


COACH: Uh, no. The pillowbiter was removed and banned from the team for all times. Pillowbiting and lying to your team is not permitted. A true Road Hawg will never lie to his team. Or pass out on in a chair when the rest of the team is going to drink.

SERGIO: Okay, you, the one who is on fire!!

REPORTER WHO IS ON FIRE: Does Cairns suck?

COACH: Yes. Cairns Sucks.

SERGIO: We have established that Cairns Sucks. The guy in the crinkled shirt...

CRINKLED SHIRT JERK: We all know that Cairns sucks, but What about the fact that the last few years have been more about drinking and less about football. Have you addressed that with your team?

COACH: That is the first intelligent question of the conference. Yes, I am hoping that this year there will be more attention to details like, passing, catching, kicking, defense, offence, running, blocking, and all around performance on the field and less concentration on the activities off the field. I think these guys are prolific enough in their drinking that they can take some time off to concentrate on football. Not winning a single game is unacceptable. It is pathetic in fact.

SERGIO: Okay, the gay trucker like one in the rear. Get it, in the Rear?


THE GAY TRUCKER LIKE ONE IN THE REAR: The analysis of the last game shows two things, Cairns Sucks and your defense, which for the most part was stable, coould be described as a Five to Two...

SERGIO: That's it, security escort this man out. Make sure you pepper spray him on the way out. In fact, this press conference is over. We do not have to take this. In fact, that is strike three. Mow the damn lawn. Here take this chair....(throws chair)

PRESS CONFERENCE ENDED

Getting ready for the circus to return and our press conference...

The oilers won a big one last in OT to bring the series back to Edmonton for a game 6. The Oilers have not lost a game six in this playoff so far so I think this is going to go to a seventh game. But you know I have been wrong before.

I am at the rink already. There is to be an avail herre at Rexall at 1:45pm for the Oilers and 4 something for the Hurricanes at their hotel. I like as you know to be early.



I have Team Score all set up and ready to go. All we need is some players and coaches to harrass. In the mean time Sergio is here shooting the empty rink, well besides me, for a DVD that the NHL is doing on the Oilers run to the cup. He shot me setting up and stuff so if you see a DVD in the store about the Oilers this year, it may have some scenes with me in it. Makes it worth even more. I need to get some royalties.



So Sergio and I decided to hold a press conference in the podium area to announce the greatness that is me and Sergio.



Of course every good presser needs to have a moderator. Sergio is that moderator.



After I was done answering all the questions intelligently and authoritatively, Sergio took the stand and some a-hole mic monkey asked a question that was out of order so we stormed out and threw some chairs just to make a statement. We rule.

Here's to the crews from all the networks...

Top row: Bradley, Ryan, Vern, Nik
Bottom row: Sean, Chris, Cheech, Chris Simpson, Dregr, Bob

I would like to just take the time here to comment on a bunch of really cool people. I don't know why, but for competing networks everyone here gets along really good. No, I do know why. Because as I have said about a hundred times during this long strange trip, 'we are all in this together'.

We as shooters all have the same goal, to get our stuff on the air as quickly and efficiently as possible. Sometimes this is difficult. If there was something that I needed to get it done I know the guys from Sportsnet, TSN, or any of the local networks would not hesitate to help me out. They know that in the same situation that if I could help them they would like it to happen. And it would.

Speaking of helping out. The guys from Carolina ABC were doing their live and they were working without a phone line to get off air sound. Basically this is what the reporter listens to in his ear so he knows when to talk. Imagine doing it with no sound. No way to know if the anchor on the other end asked you a question or not. So I gave them my cell phone IFB kit to use so they could use their cell to call a phone line that broadcasts their signal so he could hear the show in his ear. They looked at me like I was on crack helping them out. All I know is that if I were in that position, which I would not let myself into, I would love to have some help. Karma, I believe in it.

From Cory Blashill helping me for over an hour to get my live hit in San Jose on the air, me giving a whole whack of cable to help the SNET guys get their live show on the air from center ice, or Jordi holding the City TV cameras mic in scrums. We know what it is like to be under the gun with no end in sight and any help we can get is much appreciated. In the same breath we know that it will be returned at the drop of a hat. That is why I really like working up here in this market. None of that BS between networks. Can you believe that? City sending their camera guy over with no reporter to compete with 25 other cameras and about 40 reporters to get post game sound (which is insane and why they are in last place). The management over there needs to shake themselves. IN MY OPINION.

Now of course we all want to be number one so we are all trying to outdo each other but in the end we all want each other to succeed.

So my hat is off to all the boys with cameras on their shoulders who chased the Stanley Cup with the Oilers this year. Thanks and I hope that it is not over yet.

Cory, Sean, Bradley, and Vern from Sportsnet. Sergio, Ned, and Scotty from TSN. Ryan and Dwyane from the Score. Merko and Brian from City. Parker, Cam, and Barry from CFRN. Hamish, Cliffy from Global. All of you rule, hopefully we can do this again next year, or maybe this Saturday!

Game 4 may be my last of the season...

Game four from the press box

Game four was not a great game on several levels. The Oilers power play sucked. The Oilers lost 2-1 and face elimination for the first time in this playoffs. The Hurricanes go back to Carolina with a 3-1 lead and close it out on home ice.

Now as far as the celebrity watch goes, I scored big...Check it out...


Me and Barry

Barry Melrose, the man with the mullet, the guy who used to host NHL 2 Night, my favorite hockey guy in the USA. He noticed me in the press box and needed to get a pic with the greatest podcast host on the planet. The host of TundraTalk, the podcast that does not suck, Me. No, not really, I just went over and took a pic with him. But I guess that story is better.



Coolio talking to Bettman

Okay, Gary Bettman was in town also. As you can see by looking at him he is evil. I would normally call him satan, but W has taken that title away from him. Just look at the evil in his eyes. Ruined hockey I say. Hey Gary, abolish the instigator penalty NOW!!!



I was looking at the list of people sitting in the press box and noticed that there was a dude from the Fargo Forum in the house. I went over and introduced myself and he could not believe that someone from Hazen North Dakota was living in Edmonton. Every once in a while it is nice to see someone from home. Terry Vandrovec was in town to cover the three guys from UND in the final, Matt Green, Mike Commodore, and some other guy I can't remember.


Bill Clement, Ray Ferraro, and Eddie Olczyk

I finally got over to the side of the rink that NBC had for their studio. Speaking of that, as you can see they are using a corporate box to broadcast from. I guess that someone had the tickets for that box for the whole playoffs but the NHL just jerked them for NBC. I bet they were not happy about that. As you can see Ray is in the middle. He is a TundraTalk vetran. Here is a wide shot of the studio...


Corporate Box/Studio


Sportsnet's NEW team of hockey ANALysts

Normally at the start of the third period most camera guys are down under the bleachers getting ready for the end of the game and setting up their live shots. We get the lights, camera, and audio ready for go time after the game. We check and double check the feed and make sure all is working correctly. We also take some time to make sure that we can take some good pics. Above the Sportsnet boys make sure the set is all ready for the show by putting on thier own show.


The Score's hockey team

Ryan and I do it a bit differently. More acrobatic and more geared the kids. More hip and edgy. Two things I have never been in my life.

Mike Commodore and Coolio

Then comes go time and we go into the rooms gather sound, chase interviews in the mix zone, and then go back and feed it. The live shots come shortly after that. Coolio intros sound bites and one on ones with players. Sometimes we get them to stop and tape it right there on the spot.

On a completely different note, Mike Commodore has the best hocky playoff hair going. Dude looks like Carrot top or Gallaghaer. AWESOME.



Chad spends the whole time with that phone attached to his head. He will have a growth in his brain soon.



Jordi and Ryan hurrying up and waiting.

Coolio and EJ Hradek from ESPN the magazine

EJ Hradek does a regular thing with the Score so that is cool. He works for ESPN the magazine and really knows his stuff. Generally we go hard for about an hour then we tear everything down. Which takes longer than it should usually. A lot of work. I usually get home by midnight. Not bad.

Game day for Game 4...

Too much media

Monday is game day and with that came the swarms of media from all over North America. As you can see in the Oilers room there was more media than hockey players. Oh, the reason the camera guy in the weird pink shirt was blurred is because he, in my humble opinion, is a dick. He chose to cross my picket line for 166 days and I do not want him on my blog. He just happened to get in my pic.

Where was I, oh yeah, there was a lot of media in the rooms today. In the Oiler room alone there was 12 cameras. I can bet that there was at least 25 cameras in the building doing stuff.


A door filled with history

Speaking of the room. I took a picture, a bad one, of the video room door. A lot of history in this door. It used to be the door to the coaches room. Back in the glory days of Gretzky and Messier, Essa Tikkanen would go over to the door and slam his stick in it to let the coaches know that the team is headed to the ice. If you look close you can see three huge dents in the door.

When there was some remodeling done the door was actually rescued from the dumpster. They then moved it to it's present position on the video coaches room. They then had a guy come in to paint it. The guy started to paint on all the stickers on the door. Someone caught him early enough before they were all painted over.


a win a sticker

The stickers represent a win in the stanley cup playoffs. As you can see at the end when you win 16 a cup is put on the door. There are 5 cups on that door. This tradition is kept alive by the media director. The current media director is JJ Hebert. After a win he has a special stash of stickers that are kept in a sacred metal box. There are 13 stickers on the door this year. Sorry for the bad quality of the pic but I am trying to do that and shoot a scrum at the same time. Plus I was not sure if I was allowed to take a pic of it. I have seen it on TV and in the paper lots but you just never know during the playoffs.


Pole from hell

This is the pole where we plug in our signal to be sent to Toronto and then beamed to the world. Usually there is not this many cables coming out of it. Just a big tangled mess. That is Ryan trying to figure it out.


Telus box

Telus installed this box and our port is number six on the top. Usually there is only about 5 cables coming in and out of this box. Nice. Kinda confusing.

Game time is six pm so I will get to that later.

Cabbie on the Street

Cabbie was back today. That is all I have to say about that. I did not get to talk to him too much but it is always nice to see Cabbie.

MMMMM free lunch

After the morning skate we went back to the Sutton Place for a free buffet put on by the NHL for the top 5 prospects in the upcoming draft. I am always the first one there and the last to leave. I might add that this buffet had a fabo lasagna and some killer roast beef. If you have never had Alberta Beef you must try it. Best I have ever had. Sorry ND beef producers.


free food always get the media

At the table behind the podium is some of the prospects. Jonathan Toews is in the top five and he played at UND last year. He is sitting right behind the mic on the podium. Great player, I hope he ends up on a good team. Probably won't though.


Vern Relaxing

After a great free meal a good photog will relax or take a nap. Here is a shot of Vern from Sportsnet relaxing in the hotel lobby. Good work my friend.



Afterwards me and Jordi went back to the rink in the Scores exclusive shuttle. Of course with only 5 employees from the Score in town the bus was a bit empty, but you know this is how we roll.
