His FIRST Interview as a Senator

That HURTS to type, but it HURTS even MORE to read!! Don't take my word for it, read what Ruutu had to say about signing with the Ottawa Senators and when he faces the Penguins on his old "stomping" grounds; there will be "No free passes for Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin."

"I'm playing against them so there is no free skating," Ruutu said. "I played with them for two years, and you see night after night the things they like and don't like. Those guys are so good. It's not real easy. They know me pretty good, too, so I have to be smart about it."

It should be interesting -- that's one of the first game dates I plan on looking for when the schedules come out soon (hopefully, I'll be there)!!
