Well, it was short, but good.

It wasnt an interview per se, but Erik was this weeks "corrospondant", which i guess rome does ever week, but i dont watch him because he is annoying.

Essentially they followed cole through a practice. First showing him in the lcoker room hanging out with the guys. Erik had what appeared to be a large bandage on his left wrist, but also practiced at the end of the segment.

They showed Erik talking to "Stallzie" and he said "this kid is going to run the show this year, and next year, and the year after that...we're just along for the ride"

He also said that the team was trying to clean it up a little bit this year (i.e. shave once in a while!)...except for Mike Zigomantis who he gave gave some good ribbing too because he is the "harriest guy on the team and needs a back wax"

He then talks with Kevin Adams while Kevin is on the treadmill. Erik says something about the last time he mentioned "KA's" name on the air, KA went out and scored a hat trick and he is hoping it can happen again.

Then they take the practice ice, they show erik skating around and taking some shots, then the segmant ends with cole saying "im out"

Erik really looks to be a good leader on this team, and a good mentor for some of the younger guys.

Good to see him get some press. One more point and he ties his career high in points with 42.
