Shock and awe

I was more than a bit stunned Saturday when longtime toughie Tom Barrasso, now serving as a goaltender coach for the Carolina Hurricanes, stopped before Saturday's game to sign one of Colin's team sheets.

The book on Barrasso, and it's a pretty thick one, is that he can be more than a little rough when it comes to handling autographs requests. I could tell he wasn't too thrilled when Colin asked for his signature, but I have to give him credit for stopping. Pretty nice autograph, too.

From what I hear, he was true to form earlier in the day, blowing past about 15-20 people on his way to morning skate.
