It was well-publicized, at least down here in Hockey Bay, that the Tampa Bay Lightning had a 12-game homestand, beginning Jan. 23 with the Atlanta Thrashers and ending Feb. 25 against the New Jersey Devils. That also meant it was a busy time for Hockey Bay hounds.
All told, we had 16 hounding adventures, including three trips for the Lightning and two teams at the same hotel on the same day, over that time span. Though I know there were others who posted far larger numbers, we're more than satisfied in having added another 302 autographs, including 44 pucks, to the collection.
Understand, too, we didn't go out every day and we skipped a few teams. Remember, we do this as a collection, not as a business. That's why we have the luxury of picking, choosing and letting players pass.
And, yes, we owe you a few team reports and highlights, beginning Monday with the Phoenix Coyotes.
