God's gift to hockey hounds

Any hound who finds himself mired in a one-per slump should thank the hockey-hounding gods for an NHL player like Florida's Tomas Vokoun.

Why, you ask? The guy is a signing machine. Though I seldom present more than four items to any player at a time, I've seen Vokoun do nine boards and a stack of 8x10s without batting an eyelash. And he does this every year.

Besides this cool plastic die-cut card, an EX insert from a box of 2009-10 Fleer Ultra Hockey, Vokoun also signed a Czech Republic puck as well as a jersey card, part of the Threads project, before the Panthers' morning skate Monday here in Hockey Bay.
