I don't like the idea of buying autographed stuff, cause to me it's more about the story so I've got two.

1) Signed Kipprusoff picture: Durring the playoff run, me and a buddy were down at the Fanatic after game 2 against the lightning. I had bet an oilers fan about something and if he lost he had to wear a Flames shirt to work. So I was there buying the shirt for him and Kipper walks in. Nicest guy. I told him that there were some great picutres of him there and asked if he'd mind signing it and he said sure, so I bought one and he signed it.
Really nice dude.

2) Last year me and 5 buddies did a crazy roadtrip and got into the Flames pregame skate in Pittsurgh. We got the entire team to sign our jerseys and were probably the first people ever to get Huselieus' autograph as a flame. The only reason we knew the Flames traded for him was because of a text message I got from a buddy after I got off the plane the night before. As I understand it he had just flown in to be with the team the night before. Anyway, the only reason we knew which one was him, was because he was the dude we didn't recognize, but man did he seem really excited when we called him by name and asked for his autograph. He must not have gotten a lot of that on his first day in Florida.
