Second year of attending the Blackhawks convention ... adding my
sister Ellen and her son Alex to the mix

|
Young hockey player Alex
joins in our fun this year ... along
with his mom of course!
|
Remember who my fave goalie was
as a kid? Well I drew Tony Esposito (yeah!) in the
scratch off winner this year. Mark got Smith and
Alex was happy to have Saad. Not a bad haul
|
Insanely nice and friendly ...
Was asking me questions on what I did for a living
including follow up questions when I said I worked
with computers ... another slow
moving line for good reason
|
Had to pickup a Jim Cornelison
bobble for my BFF ... even got it autographed for her!
Of course he's wearing a cup ring
|
|
|
|
|
Scoring another cup winner autograph
Marcus Kruger (now a multiple winner!)
|
At this point, this year's
convention was already a winner to me!
|
Then Alex had to one up me
and get to wear a friggin' Cup ring!
|
I swear Ellen really was there
|
|
|
|
|
Criminal how easy it was to get
into another HHOF line and get Pierre Pilote
You have to know him, his # hangs in the rafters people!
|
Racking up the quality signatures
|
Alex with no clue how great
Daze could have been if he could have been healthy ...
|
I wanna ride ... the zamboni
|
|
|
|
|
Scouted ahead and saw Oduya was
only autograph worth getting Sunday ... so cheated
and just bought 1. Factoring in the cost of the puck
alone, sig was like $5
|
Murray I got legit
|
He even asked Alex about his
hockey playing
|
This was another crazy deal ...
For less than the cost of an unsigned mask on Amazon,
I got this one with Raanta sig on it from another
vendor ... its cool darn it!

|
|
Bobblehead collection, at least
hockey ones. Plus the home of my pucks
|
I do branch out to other sports though
