Thread: Meet the players

Is that a McDonald's jersey that Fox is wearing?

Got there late and only got in one line, but the one I wanted anyways. I was lucky to run into my 315 friends tho so at least I got to sit with them in the "line".


my old 8th grade teacher with Pancakes. their line was right next to ours so I got a good shot of them.















I suck at getting my picture taken...

....so does Jeff Carter.

Here is a picture of the sticks we got signed last night.

Willie Mitchell's game-used stick is on top, and Mike Richards' game-used is on the bottom...they are signed right above the heel of the blade.

I think you were right in front of me! Mitchell was asking where you got it and was talking to Gagne about how they changed those sticks and how they sucked now or something, right?

Just poor planning. Just imagine if they had EVERY player on the team signing at one location, you know there would be ridiculous lines. Or if they allowed EVERY season ticket holder to go on the same day.

Either split up the players between different days... or have all the players sign on 2-3 different days and actually ASSIGN a certain date when you get your tickets printed out. That would be less stress on the players having to sit there for just 1-2 hours instead of 3-4 hours... and less stress on everyone waiting in line.

I had to share this pic with you guys. I went with my son's girlfriend and we went straight to Quick's line and had to wait a long time. She is pretty new to hockey but last season she started her crush on Quick. "he's so good! he's so cute! " and so on. Well she said to me that she was going to tell him she loved him. When we got up to him she stood star struck and I elbowed her to remind her what she was going to say. She looks at him and says "I...I...I love you!" LOL! Well, he starts cracking up and says thats good and I took a really cute pic of them and Quick was still laughing:



Got cute pics with the others in line especially Westy and I shook his hand and thanked him for all he did. He had just got notice the CBA was ratified (I think I'm saying it right - lol) and was very happy. I'm glad I got this happy photo of us before he left!



We didnt' get any other pics or autographs since there just wasn't enough time. But I got the new book and CD and came home and watched the game again with Bob and Jim calling it. Like new! Of course I cried. :-)

I think the players would rather just get it over with on one day. Remember, they also do Tip a King (usually), so that's two times already they have to sit and sign. They'd never go for having to do it more than that. When would they have the time?

It's around this time of the year when players start to go down with "flu like symptoms" too, so I think the less contact they have with the general public the better!
