No, sir. Not us. Not when the team provides a red-carpet (really!) opportunity to snag some autographs from the hometown heroes. And though fans had to endure a muggy reminder Monday that summer's right around the corner, it proved to be a fine way to cap another season of hounding.
As you can see, Colin did quite well with another of his hand-drawn team sheets. Notable sweat-soaked signers included Vinny Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis, Dan Boyle and Jeff Halpern.
Even Puckhound got into the act, getting Boyle, Filip Kuba, Mike Lundin and Jason Ward, among others, to sign these cards . . .
. . . and Halpern and Junior Lessard, winner of the 2004 Hobey Baker Award, as well as new goalie Mike Smith, to sign these pucks.
By day's end, Hound Central 3.0 added another 33 autographs from the Lighting to the collection. If you add the 34 autographs we scored from the Atlanta Thrashers earlier in the day, the last trip of the 2007-08 produced a total of 67 autographs.
Not bad, if you ask me.
