Down to 20

In the push to reach 2,000 pucks, and to do it when the Boston Bruins come to Hockey Bay next Monday, we couldn't help but capitalize on an easy opportunity to add this trio of pucks. All told, the collection stands at 1,980 pucks.

Dave Andreychuk, captain of the Tampa Bay Lightning's Stanley Cup champions, and Brian Bradley, another former Bolts star, appeared at a store for a promotional gig at our local mall.

Because I had to work, I drafted The Missus and Colin into helping chip away at the goal, snagging this trio of pucks from the pair. While it was an easy call to have Captain Dave sign the different Lightning pucks, it took 15 seconds of research to learn that Bradley started and began his NHL career with the Calgary Flames.

For the record, because those things might be important some day, Andreychuk signed the 100th puck (the striped puck on the left) of the 2009-10 hockey-hounding campaign. All three, too, are part of the Colin's Pucks project.

And, just for good measure, Andreychuk and Bradley signed these promotional cards.
