Another Special Interview With Another Real Nice Guy.... Shane Endicott.

Every now and then, I like to catch up with my friends around the world. We had a great time talking to my buddy Mike Garnett. 

Well this week, I decided we should take a little trip to the land of wine and Spaghetti Westerns , Italy! What's in Italy you ask? Well it's not what, but who, and the answer is Shendo, AKA Shizzane, AKA Endovaschlong, AKA Endo, AKA King of the Angry Beetle. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you, an interview with Center for the SG Pontebba of the Italian Serie A league in Italy...... Shane Endicott.

G - So how the heck is Italy?

S - Hey bud,  Italy is pretty cool.   I've been having some fun and playing some good hockey.

G - Any funny stories from your first month or so there?

S - Ya, there is a few. Driving through the mountains with a guy on my team who just learned how to drive a manual transmission car.  If a deer would've stepped out, I'm not sure who would have been more caught in the headlights.  There would've been lots of revving the engine, clutch , gear changes , grinding gears,  windshield wipers , brights,  brake, maybe some ac , and sweat.  

We were at the casino, and the whole time he was suggesting that someone else maybe should drive. we  caught on to why he was suggesting that when he red lined it in the parking lot then stalled. He was good at steering though.

Endo thinking "Did I just sign with Nashville???? What was I thinking??"

G - How is the hockey going, I see you are 1 and 2, not to bad?

  
S - Ya, we are 1-2.  One decent game and two terrible ones.   The hockey is pretty fast.  Its always hard to compare the level of leagues, especially in only three games .  But the level does seem pretty good

G - How many points? I tried looking for the stats, but it being Italy and all, not even them google translates could help me out.

S - I have 3 assists in 3 games so far..  

  

The good ol days in Pittsburgh

G - What is your drink of choice out there? I imagine it being Italy and all, maybe Wine? Don't worry, I won't judge you, I know how hard as fack you are, as in drinking freebies, no big deal.

S - Oh the drinking. the guys drink mostly local tap beer, digestive shots after meals, and fruity shots when getting after it.  i try to keep it situational, but i like to sip on coronas and tequilas.

G - What do you do for fun out there? Angry beetles? Skiing? pizza making?

S - I'm not allowed to ski (injuries), or eat too much pizza ( fat testing) or angry beetle (crazy gay), but i have seen a few things. i have been working pretty hard since i got here. 

Going two a days for most of the week.  i haven't had very much time off to see things, but,  on my afternoons off, i like to go to vilach austria, udine italy, or slovakia casino, or one of the local ski resorts.  These places are all within 50 kms of me.  On one of my days off I went to this crazy street festival in Gorizzia, it was a nice time. I also spent some time in venice this year.

G - Give me a really funny story.

S - I've played the song Endicott by Kid Creole and the coconuts  at least once a day in the locker room.  I took the teams music memory stick and made the endicott song play 4 times out of every 100 songs. The guys really seem to like it!  sometimes i hear the young guys singing it under there breath in practice.

G - Since you are gone, and Endoland Ranch is vacant, can I take girls back there and tell them it's my place?

S - I dont think its going to be vacant this year. i had a request for someone to move in and my bro said he would collect rent, and keep up on maintenance for a portion of what i make. but , otherwise, game on. 

G - Anything else you want to say to the people back home?

S - I miss everyone like usual!!! see ya marchish.

So there you have it! All in all, I think that was a pretty good interview, thanks to Shane for giving me some time, that was fun. I think our next interview with be with Toronto Maple Leaf, Colby Armstrong, so keep an eye out for that in the next month or so.
