Red Wings
It was my day off, so I thought "What Better way to spend an afternoon than to drive two hours to hound a last place and crappy signing teams?" At least the guys I got I had never met in person before, one of which was a Hall of Famer (Cheli has mellowed since his playing days). Overall, 9 stinking signatures! I missed Franz Nielsen and Riley Sheahan ignored me.

This Day in Sens History (4 days late)
March 8, 1999
Damian Rhodes lets in 2 goals on the first 2 shots, but Sens storm back in a big way and beat the Lightning 9-3. Magnus Arvedson records a hat trick, and Vincent Lecavalier & Marian Hossa scrap.

Women's Hockey and Bruins Alumni
A rare hounding weekend for me. I don't do it much anymore since chances for success are few and far between.
On Saturday night, I went with Tyler, Beth and her Dad to Ottawa U to get the Calgary and Montreal teams battling for the Clarkson Cup of the CWHL. I'll just say they are much nicer than the majority of NHL players, which is easy to be when you're not under as big a microscope. A couple of players were a tad crusty (cough, cough, Caroline Ouellette, Meaghan Mikkelson) but everybody signed. Well, except Rebecca Johnston, who went for a jog and never came back. Also, these girls are much nicer to look at than toothless, stubbled, smelly men! So here is who I got:
Bailey Bram x 4
Jessica Campbell x 3
Sarah Davis x 4
Brianne Jenner x 6
Charline Labonte x 4
Genevieve Lacasse x 4
Brigette Lacquette x 4
Emerance Maschmeyer (RRRRROWR!) x 3
Meaghan Mikkleson x 3
Caroline Ouellette (Madame Crust) x 4
Marie Philip-Poulin (Madame Clutch) x7
Laurianne Rougeau x 3
Jillian Saulnier x 3
Blayre Turnbull x 1
On Sunday, I went to Brockville to attend the VIP Bruins Alumni Meet and Greet. It was $100 for that and the brunch buffet (which was disgusting; I think I'll volunteer to cook it next time). Expensive, but it was well worth it. Tim Sweeney and Al Iafrate were a joy to talk with. The organizers said players would only sign two a shot, but that was ignored by everyone.
I showed Tim Sweeney a full page and he signed the first two. He asked if I wanted the rest signed, and I said sure as long as they don't say anything, and he was like "Who gives a shit." We talked a lot about the old 90s cards I had and his experience with first year Ducks. Bourque signed 6 the first time around with no hassle (He commented, "Jesus Christ those are old," when he saw my cards).
I went back in line to get the rest of my stuff signed. The organizers, again, told us to limit to two per person. Hell, don't tell us, tell the players! If they're willing to sign that many, I'm not going to say "No, I wish to abide by the organizer's request, and politely turn down any offers to sign more than the allotted amount." Besides, if I'm forking out good money, I want my money's worth!
Ray Bourque x 8
Al Iafrate x 2 (usually a strict 2-per, I would've brought more had I known the set up)
Guy Larose x 4
Ken Linseman x 6
Rick Middleton x 5
Rick Smith x 1
Tim Sweeney x 11
Reggie Lemelin and Bob Sweeney were no shows,

Joke of the Day
Three golfing partners died in a car wreck and went to heaven. Upon arrival they discover the most beautiful golf course they have ever seen. St. Peter tells them that they are all welcome to play the course, but he cautions them that there is only one rule: Don't hit the ducks during your first three months here. The men all have blank expressions, and finally one of them asks, "The ducks? "Yes", St. Peter replies, "There are thousands of ducks walking around the course, and if one gets hit, he quacks, then the one next to him quacks and soon they're all quacking to beat the band. It really breaks the tranquility, and If you hit one of the ducks, you'll be punished, Otherwise everything is yours to enjoy."
Upon entering the course, the men noted that there were indeed large numbers of ducks everywhere. Within fifteen minutes, one of the guys hit a duck. The duck quacks, the one next to it quacked and soon here was a deafening roar of duck quacks. St. Peter walked up with an extremely homely woman in tow and asks, "Who hit the duck?" The guy who had done it admitted, "I did." St. Peter immediately pulled out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed the man's right hand to the homely woman's left hand. "I told you not to hit the ducks", he said. Now you'll be handcuffed together for eternity."
The other two men were very cautious not to hit any ducks, but a couple of weeks later, one of them accidentally did. The quacks were as deafening as before, and within minutes St. Peter walked up with an even uglier woman. He cuffed the man's right hand to the homely woman's left hand. "I told you not to hit the ducks," he said; "Now you'll be handcuffed together for eternity."
The third man was extremely careful. Some days he wouldn't even play for fear of even nudging a duck. After three months, he still hadn't hit a duck. St. Peter walked up to the man at the end of the three months, and had with him a knock-out, gorgeous woman - the most beautiful woman the man had ever seen. St. Peter smiled at the man and then, without a word, handcuffed him to the beautiful woman and walked off. The man, knowing that he would be handcuffed to this woman for eternity, let out a contented sigh and said aloud, "I wonder what I did to deserve this?
The woman responds, "I don't know about you, but I hit a duck."

Today in Sens History
January 29, 1996
The Sens, who are in the middle of a 9 game home stand to open the new Palladium, beat the St. Louis Blues 4-2, with help by two disallowed Blues goals due to a high stick and blown whistle respectively. Blues Coach Mike Keenan is booed by the crowd whenever he is shown on the scoreboard.
