Team report: Colorado Avalanche

For those of you who don't believe timing is everything, please consider our latest hockey-hounding adventure for the Colorado Avalanche.

With my work schedule limiting me to just game-time hounding, defined as the time when players leave the hotel and head to the rink, I knew our opportunities would be limited to, at most, an hour. Still, I didn't let that keep Colin and me from heading over to Tampa.

Though we missed on some players, most notably Craig Anderson, John-Michael Liles and Paul Stastny, we were more than happy to add another 20 cards to the collection. Even better, Colin scored some autographs from the Avs' top players.

Those signing cards were:

Top row: Peter Budaj, Matt Duchene and Adam Foote; and
Bottom row: Milan Hejduk, David Jones and Ryan Wilson

Other highlights from the abbreviated session:

~ Evidence that a change in scenery changes a player's signing habits; and
~ knowing that every addition to the Threads collection doesn't have to come from a big-name NHL player.
