It was in Helsinki. Ottawa won't be getting any games. The games being played in Canada are spread between Montreal and Toronto, Montreal getting the first two games, the rest are at the ACC.

I went to the Canada vs USA exhibition game (3-1 Canada) on Wednesday. One of the better games I've seen at the Corel Centre. Way better than the average NHL game.
On Saturday, I saw Mario Lemieux, Ryan Smyth, and Danny Heatly at the bar here in Ottawa.
I bought Heatly a shot from across the bar. Then went over to say hi to Smyth and Heatly. Didn't get close enough to Lemieux 'cuz he was busy (and had body guards).

the MCI center in Washington is called the phone booth, most stadiums have nicknames that people use.
Vancouver's GM place is often called the Garage
Toronto's ACC is often called the hanger (Air Canada sponsored it)
Buffalo's old hockey rink was called the OD (it was originally called the auditorium but the rink was like an oval)
Boston's arena was simply called the garden
Texas's old arlington park used to be called the ol park
Minnosota had the metrodome, the guy who financed it, his name was first but they took it off for the nickname.
Olympic Stadium = the big 0
Network Associates Collosium in Oakland = mount davis
PNC park in pittsburgh = pirate stadium
Coors field in Colorado = Mile High Park
Veterans Stadium = the vet
Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, better known as The Swamp
Univ of Tennasee = sea of orange
usually it's corporate sponsors that get their name on stadiums, they rename it because it sounds different for television.
