THE MONDAY MORNING GOALIE

Welcome to Tampa Bay!!

We’re down here in Florida for the SportsCage Marlin Travel Ultimate Sports Trip III with 50 listeners and SportsCage friends.   Here are some photos of our festivities…

Sunday we caught the Bills and Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium….

We wouldn’t be caught again like we were in Phoenix three years ago.   We headed down real early to catch the tailgating party…

Mrs. SportsCage with the Bucs’ mascot…

The infamous Pirate ship…

Winnipeg lost its swagger.  Tampa Bay found it…

The Buccaneers’ introductions…

The SportsCage group.  See if you know anybody in there!

Former Rider Dan Goodspeed.  He won a Super Bowl with the Bucs and Jon Gruden in 2003.  He was the featured alumni of the game.  It was great to hook up with Dan and Amy.  Their son was born in Regina!!  He’s 14 months old now…

Here’s Goody on the field at halftime.  Can you believe he invited me down to be on the field with him????????   He’ll be on the SportsCage on Monday from Hogan’s Beach Bar…

Umm, yeah.

And…..  Yes.  That just happened.

Goodspeed shakes hands with former teammate Mike Abou-Mechrek…

Can you believe these guys weren’t on our trip??  Perhaps Neal Hughes can explain…

Here’s our group at Hogan’s Beach Bar on Friday.  The place is owned by Hulk Hogan…

This is all part of the bar!!

Broadcasting the SportsCage on Friday…

Before a live studio audience..

The “Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart popped by the show!!!

Downtown Tampa Bay.  It’s unbelievable…

The Phil Esposito statue outside the rink…

The Winnipeg Jets morning skate on Saturday…

With Steven Stamkos and Rouleau’s Keith Aulie.  Keith broke his hand Thursday night against Ottawa…

Hockey Night In Canada’s Greg Millen wanders through our crew…

We got a dressing room tour courtesy of the Lightning…

Keith and his proud father Bill…

Lunch!

Here’s a shot from the walk to Keith Aulie’s place…

Keith’s condo…

Keith was nice enough to invite us up and pose on his balcony with Gerry and Marcel Aquin from our trip…

And our boys made Hockey Night In Canada!!   Thanks to my friend Mark Lee for putting us on…

That’s all I have time for!  See you in the Cage on Monday at 4:00 pm!

Very nice. Wouldn't you guys rather be putting on layers of ski pants to go outside and plug in your trucks with a stiff extension cord at fifty below?

Hughes may recognize the guy on the right from the back. He's a former Rams O-lineman.

Would make more sense to have jerseys from the teams playing or at least teams from the same league, but at least nobody was wearing a hockey jersey. But I realize not everybody can or wants to do that so Rider Green is a great choice.
Well, I gotta go shovel snow now. See ya.
