Red Wings to play in Sweden

I found out something yesterday that I found quite exciting... The Red Wings are going to be opening the 2009-10 NHL season in Stockholm, Sweden with 2 games v. St. Louis Blues. Also, the Chicago Blackhawks will be playing 2 games in Helsinki, Finland v. Florida Panthers.

VERY COOL. I know the Red Wings have about 7 Swedes on their roster, and will definitely have a great turn out there. I wonder if there is a way for me to find tickets?! I do have a friend in Stockholm AND it's one of my top travel destinations. Hmmm... the wheels are turning.

A little birdy told me

That Shamrock Shakes are back!!! I can't wait to check out the Mc Donald's next door to work tomorrow to see if this is true in Chicago. I am going to have to limit myself, for budgetary and caloric reasons but MAN DO I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!!!
