End of the road?

Over the years, I considered myself fortunate whenever I was able to get a single autograph from Atlanta's Bobby Holik and Mark Recchi. Holik would sign, but was strict one-per. Recchi, however, often proved elusive.

That's why I was a little dumbstruck Monday when each signed two pucks. Even more surprising, was Holik's question whether I wanted him to sign the Rangers puck.

It makes me wonder about one of my long-held beliefs about a player's signing habits: the closer they get to retirement, the nicer they are toward fans.
