TTM: Round 2

Once a month, throughout the 2007-08 NHL regular season, Hound Central 3.0 will send out five through-the-mail, or TTM, autograph requests.

This month's requests, which go out in this afternoon's mail, will carry four cards each for the following players:

~ Chicago's Duncan Keith;
~ Los Angeles' Anze Kopitar;
~ Nashville's Shea Weber;
~ Phoenix's Keith Ballard; and
~ San Jose's Steve Bernier.

The first batch, sent Oct. 31, has yielded these successes:

~ Lewiston Maineiacs goalie Jonathan Bernier, the Kings' No. 1 pick in the 2006 Draft, who signed three of three cards; and
~ Chicago's Tuomo Ruuttu, who signed four of four cards.

Hound Central 3.0 is patiently waiting to hear back from Columbus Blue Jackets TV analyst Danny Gare, Dallas' Loui Eriksson and St. Louis' Brad Boyes.

Props to you. Your success with getting a Autograph from Bernier prompted me to send him a card. I used to send out cards as a kid, with some success.

I got the card back in 9 days. Pretty good considering Thanksgiving fell in between.

I have the return envelopes addressed to my son, Colin, As a 6-year-old, he gets a big kick out of getting mail.

Of course, he's not always sure who he's getting mail from, but it doesn't realy matter to him.

Thanks for sharing your story.
