Daymond Langkow was awesome, real shy but didnt mind signing an autograph and having his picture taken.

Dion Phaneuf - PURE GOLD!. Gave the kids a hard time about being out so late. Asked them what they wanted for Christmas, Just spent a great deal of time talking to them and was really easing going about autographs and pictures.

Kipper (my son's hero) - was so awesome! really shy but didnt mind signing the jersey, having his picture taking and just being an all round nice guy.

and here is where I will probably feel the wrath of CP,

Jarome Iginla was probably having a tough night, (they lost to Vancouver) but he was very standoffish, gave the impression that he didnt want to be bothered. He did sign the kids jerseys and when I asked him if it was ok for a picture with the kids, he gave the, "ya, if I have to look" and an 'alright' response.
needless to say, my impression of Iggy is somewhat, meh. Dont get me wrong, I like him as a the star of our team and all but it just kinda left me being a bit disappointed considering everything you hear about him.

They all have bad nights. At least he signed and did a picture. I can't imagine how much these guys go through day in and day out, being bothered everywhere they go.
