The Tampa Bay Lightning and Chili's restaurant have got together to promote each other this offseason with a weekly radio show at different locations around the Hockey bay area. That means the ticket reps will be out in full force trying to heard the masses for next year. It also means an opportunity to snag a few 'graphs.
Last week's event brought out a few former players, a Hall of Famer and someone we thought would be a new inductee.
Dave Andreychuk took the time to sign the commemorative magazine from his Stanley Cup year. I am still trying to figure out why he isn't on the list of Hall of Fame inductees this year, but that may give us something to celebrate next summer.
Hall of Famer Phil Esposito was kind enough to sign this quartet of cards. (Thanks, Colin, for the help on this one.)
Brian Bradley, a true class act, signed my work-in-progress program from the first-ever Lightning home game. Roman Hamrlik's signature is also seen on the cover. Espo's autograph can also be found inside.
As a note, Chris Dingman was also in attendance and was more than willing to sign for fans. Unfortunately, I had nothing for him.
Colin also made his way onto a video clip from the street hockey action before the radio show. See if you can spot him, working his way past a defender to score an open-net goal.
