Team report: Florida Panthers

When you hound a team like the Florida Panthers, one of the Tampa Bay Lightning's division rivals, it's easy to run out of different items to get signed. That when cards, a hockey-hounding staple, come in handy.

When that happens, like this past Saturday when the Panthers traveled to Hockey Bay, it's not unusual to have some players sign all four cards we offered. It also adds up to a successful adventure, when we snagged more than 40 autographs in less than a hour.

Panthers players signing four cards each were:

Wingers Steve Bernier (top row) and Michael Frolik;

winger Rostislav Olesz (top row) and center Steven Reinprecht; and

winger Michael Repik.

Of course, not every player, for a variety of reasons, signed four cards:

Top row: David Booth, Scott Clemmensen and Keaton Ellerby; and
Bottom row: Shawn Matthias, Tomas Vokoun and Stephen Weiss.

Other highlights from Saturday's quick trip:

~ Vokoun adding to the Threads collection; and
~ Booth and Weiss signing a couple of road trip souvenirs.
