I'm trying to think of a current player with a fairly long name that has a quality signature.<br /><br />It's rare for sure.<br /><br />It would be nice to see players take a little more time and care when signing autographs, but I can only imagine how many times they must sign their name in a year (that would be a neat 'behind the scenes' story to see).<br /><br />I'm betting with card companies, charities, team requests and fans hounding....the number would be around 20,000 per year.<br /><br />Heck, after a dozen or so, I get lazy.bamlindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144916743107134577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677709835426556589.post-73067465902315682842012-04-25T10:19:05.918-06:002012-04-25T10:19:05.918-06:00Do you think there is any correlation between the ...Do you think there is any correlation between the length of a player's name and the quality of the signature? I'm sure Zach Parise is much easier to sign many, many times than Alex Pietrangelo.<br /><br />Still, you'd think a player would provide a better effort when getting paid to sign autographs. I can understand a road-trip scribble, but an "authenticated" signature should be better.<br /><br />I also wonder if players do that, or change their signatures, to cut down on potential fraud.Puckhoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957524025024642361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677709835426556589.post-6937259164837772742012-04-24T20:22:18.492-06:002012-04-24T20:22:18.492-06:00See, that's where I'm having problems.

I lost interest in it due to the incredible lack of respect the two teams had for one another.<br /><br />I'm all for competitiveness and trying to get 'inside the head' of your opponent, but at the cost of the overall picture.....no way.<br /><br />Terrible goaltending, terrible tactics and terrible outcomes. It didn't do it at all for me.<br /><br />I hope though that the Flyers can play some good serious playoff hockey. If they do, they'll be tough to beat.bamlindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144916743107134577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677709835426556589.post-23251218540709832172012-04-24T16:46:01.760-06:002012-04-24T16:46:01.760-06:00I think the shenanigans make for more interesting ...I think the shenanigans make for more interesting hockey. The first four games in the Flyers-Pens series was some of the best hockey I had seen in years. I didn't get to see games 5 and 6 due to work. It was like 1980s hockey. Goals and shenanigans.JGBlarghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06984741826030266285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677709835426556589.post-22527536493015214262012-04-23T23:44:19.340-06:002012-04-23T23:44:19.340-06:00Sorry 'bout that.
