For a hockey hound, the three worst words you can here are: optional morning skate. But that's what happened last Tuesday, when the pickings were slim for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Like any good hound, where adding to the collection is the motivation, you do the best you can. If getting nine autographs is the reward for a morning's worth of effort, well that's nine more than we had before I headed out that morning.
The biggest score came from assistant coach Keith Acton, who signed the pucks shown above. It's always a good day, I believe, when we add a couple of old logo pucks to the collection.
Beyond that, though, the rest was standard fare:
Cards signed by, from left, Francois Beauchemin, Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin; and
a cheap skate card signed by rookie goalie James Reimer.
