Let's hope the Senators solve their budget concerns as well, old friend.

Well my wife is from So-Cal and now she loves it here. She hated it at first and we almost moved to Toronto or the US several times.

She loves winters and snow as well, obviously the winter can get brutal and the summer (especially this year) can be nasty. It's humid not the dry heat you get in California.

Her biggest knock is that the city is boring, there isn't much here(shopping or entertainment wise) and everything is so Cussing expensive(compared to the States). At least it's boring to someone who grew up near a big city like Los Angeles although it is getting better and we solved her shopping and budget concerns by shopping mostly in the US.

She didn't really love it until our first kid was born. This town is great for raising a family and you don't have to worry about getting shot. Seeing a chalk outline on your street in LA is nothing unusual.

TL:DR - Let's hope he knocks her up.

His GF or your wife?

Still have to daydream of how scary it was that Anaheim wanted two of Silf, Cowen and Zibanejad. If Murray had caved to that, I think the excitement level may have been turned down a notch personally.

Correct, tim1_2. Plus there's the matter of So-Cal gf getting acquainted with winter in Ottawa. Odds are stacked against the Senators.

I think the Sens wives should form a club and head down south during the winters. One week during Spring Break for those with kids, and another one or two for those without. Eugene has connections in Barbados and should be all over this.

Can't afford it.

You're looking at it wrong. The players can certainly afford it, and The Gene could actually make money on this. I don't know if he owns any vacation properties, but even if he doesn't, he could charge a finder's fee.

I volunteer to chaperone the ladies on their vacations.

Except for the March Break week, right? Who was it that said Hugo Alfredsson was a brat? We all suspect that's the reason Alfie left.

That would look great. "I'll help you get comfortable this winter, for a small fee."

Question if I may? Why would California have 'dry heat' when it is located right next to the ocean.

I wouldn't worry too much about what his girlfriend thinks about Ottawa. He seems like a good person and I think he'll respect the franchise and play in Ottawa for many years to come. Montreal and Toronto are easy drives, so is New York and essentially the American northeast.

Prevailing winds are the Westerlies?

why are we worried about what his so-cal girl thinks? not like they can go back to anaheim. So then the only choice is to go to LA?

Once those new kanata outlets open and the expansion of rideau and bayshore is complete, she won't have shopping as an excuse anymore. Then it's just weather, and it ain't that much better in philly or chicago or detroit.
