"The Ottawa Senators 21-hour stay here could set a record for the shortest pre-season bonding trip in National Hockey League history.
It's quick and to the point. A couple of meals together. A single practice. One-on-one interviews for coach Paul MacLean with the players.
There are no climbing ropes, no Survivor-style team building exercises.
The Senators left Ottawa mid-afternoon Tuesday. By early afternoon Wednesday, they'll be on a bus for the 2½-hour ride to Detroit for Friday's season opener against the Red Wings."
