In A GT Daydream:Getting Some Crazy Shit Signed!

The Blues had their Rink Tours promotion today and we had planned on going, but somehow that afternoon nap seemed more important at the time.

I've gone to this before and it's the main reason that the Son of GT calls Bernie Federko and Bill Guerin among his top three all-time Blues. Hell, Guerin asked him if his missing tooth was from a punch and offered to knock the other front one out for him. Made the fist and everything.

That's not a picture of my son on either the left or the right of No. 24, but you get the idea.

I'm a fan of this promotion. It's a huge sign that the Blues and their management get it. They know that meeting and greeting the kids and crazies and signing a few auto's will make for lifetime fans. They're right.

But that doesn't mean that we wouldn't mess with it, either.

Star-divide

Now, if our desire to do something funny for the website had outweighed our desire for some sweet, sweet nappy time, here's what we would have tried to get signed...

Boyes_medium Brad Boyes: You love Boyes. We love Boyes. It's accepted by certain groups. Somehow I doubt he'd sign this. I also wonder if the cops would have pulled aside for a quick chat had we tried.

Colaiacovo_medium Carlo Colaiacovo: I'd crack up every time I look at it if I could have gotten him to personalize this picture, "Sometimes I can see the future! All the best, Carlo."

Ejgolf_medium Erik Johnson: It's a little too obvious, but his signature on this picture would be sweet for posterity. Seriously, look at that form; the kid is gonna break an ankle. His contract needs to have a no-golfing clause.

8470729_medium Tyson Strachan: Yep, that's McGwire's No. 62. That's got to throw a guy off, right?

2518_medium Jay McClement: Look, I know the nickname Silent Jay is actually backwards, but he kinda looks like the one guy and seems silent like the other guy. I like to think he'd sign the Jay bobblehead.

Berglund_medium Patrik Berglund: This would probably be funniest and easiest to acquire. This might baffle him, which would be great.

Backes_medium David Backes: He might as well get used to it with this crowd anyway; why not have Backes sign a sweet Chuck Norris poster.

Oshie_medium TJ Oshie: If only this was a plate. Maybe just the picture would have gotten a reaction. Then ask him if he'll sing 'Wonderwall" for you. The ladies would swoon.

1420_medium Dan Hinote: His wife's picture. Now I know this might have gotten me punched, but what if I'd promised not to wack off to it? He'd probably be cool with that, right?

Crombeen_medium BJ Crombeen: On second thought, I don't want to be carrying around a picture of the thing that immediately leapt to mind.

Janssen_medium Cam Janssen: I just know he'd sign it, too. The guy thinks the penalty box is the stage at Chippendales.

Legace_medium Manny Legace: Hmm. Somehow I'm guessing Manny didn't show today.

Brewer_medium Eric Brewer: Our regular Mr. Particle made this picture and it'd be sweet to add to the collection

Mckee_medium Fragile Jay McKee: Another fan-made photochop, he'd have to sign it, right?

Sigh. If only my couch wasn't so comfortable on Sunday afternoons. Maybe next year.

SHIT!!! I can’t believe I missed this. DAMN IT!!! I guess I gotta get an agent so I get invited to the development camp.

Aw, I’m not one to stand in line. It is better that I got my pre-game nap instead. I’ve got a game at 10:30 and a new-to-me stick. Still sucks I missed this. I met McKee, Mayers and McClemment a few years ago. All VERY solid dudes.

Damnit!

That Chuck Norris poster would have been glorious with the official David Backes signature.

The ice rink I was at had the Wings-Pens game on TV and Berglund kept turning around and watching it. He looked crabby today. Polak & McClement were much more upbeat.

I’m hoping he was pissed that the Wings were winning.

I wonder if Cam would get this ....

Some others


Coach Murray’s signature would be good here


Towel Boy, who else?


Brad Winchester. Doubt this would be allowed, but I can dream, right?


And Keith Tkachuk’s signature would be great with a personalized message to DK.
Something like: “From one former Donut King to another Donut King…”

Or . . .

“I CAN HAS DONUTZ?
Signed,
Keith Tkachuk”

Either way. TOTALLY awesome.

Maybe BJ could sign this .....not that he'd get the reference...

To quote Mallrats:

Why don’t they ever bring back or remake good shows, like ‘BJ and the Bear.’ Now there’s a concept I can’t get enough of, a man and his monkey.

Keystone Lake Zamboni falls through thin ice


A Zamboni took a dip in North America's largest groomed skating pond at Keystone Resort tonight.
A driver was grooming the lake at about 6:15 p.m., when the ice cracked and the 7,000-pound machine began to sink at about 6:15 p.m. As a precaution, skaters were cleared from another area of the 5-acre pond, resort spokesman Ryan Whaley said. The driver was not injured.
There was no word immediately on how soon the rink might re-open, but staff will examine the ice and remove the Zamboni Wednesday, Whaley said.
"They'll take it out and we'll see how it is," Whaley said of the machine and the safety of the ice around the crater.
With a lake that large, other areas could reopen immediately, he said.

Once it dries out, the machine is likely salvageable, he said.
Kenneth Waesche snapped a photo of the sunken ice machine when he stopped by Lakeside Village for a pickup game of hockey. His wife planned to do some skating.
Waesche said that the "thin ice" sign in the foreground of the photo was some distance away from where the Zamboni went in.
The lake is typically open from Dec. 18 to March. 28 depending on the weather, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
