The most breathtaking scenery was found up the coast. Eight of us squeezed into a van and drove through Gros Morne Provincial Park. This is where the nickname "The Rock" truly resonates. Massive cliffs thrust out into the ocean. Small towns like "Cow's Head" are scattered between the rock and fields, with small white houses and hundreds of lobster nets dotting the landscape. Dudes sit on rooftops, next to their dogs, drinking beer. This is Canada.
Executive producer Chris Szarka came prepared; dressed in shorts, he waded into the ocean down by the spot where, in 1919, "the worst storm ever" capsized the S.S. Ethie, a beauty of a ship according to the official park marker.
When you bitch about the lack of promo for Canadian shows, take a look at these guys. THAT is going the extra mile, mes amis. Also, I am contractually obligated here to point out once more that Chris Szarka is the Tallest Man In Canadian Show Business.
Rent-A-Goalie airs Mondays at 9:30 p.m. on Showcase.

Hey, thanks for the shout out, Denis. The trip was sublime. Szark is 6-foot-6, by the way, and was happy to get the extra leg room by the emergency exit on the plane.
