Default Let's Talk About Post Game Autographs

So my son is a big LA Kings/Johnathan Quick fan and we are going to Thursday's critical game.

Unfortunately I can't take him to the practice, so he has asked me if we could stay after the game and try and get some autographs.

Any suggestions on the best place to try and do this post game? Any guess on how long we will have to wait for the players to emerge post game?

I'm not too sure about away teams, but when I used to wait for the Flames it usually took around an hour before any Flames drove out.

Away teams probably come out earlier since they have to leave the city soon after the game.

Visitor's bus parks by the delivery door on the Northwest side of the building. Can't remember how long it takes them to come out, maybe 45 minutes.

Try to head out right away after the game, in case a crowd of people turns up you'll need to be near the front for any hope of getting an autograph.

I'd wish you best of luck but it's the Kings, so...

I don't think Quick is going to want to sign anything after he get's his butt handed to him Thursday by the Flames

I think this clearly shows that advanced stats are just a lot of noise by guys who cannot read or interpret basic data.

I just can't take the chance that his kid happens to be some sort of rabbit's foot. All rationality, common sense and basic human kindness goes out the window until a playoff spot is clinched.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I've never seen or heard of the visiting team bus stopping for autographs after the game. Every time I've been there they just roll past everyone.

The only way to get visiting teams is to camp out at their hotel or at practice.

I hope you realize I'm only sort of serious.

... which of course means that I'm sort of serious.

Son is Kings fan - strike 1

Son is goalie - strike 2



I always see guys hanging out by the Sheraton in Eau Claire before games, waiting for the bus to leave the hotel and head to the rink. If the Kings are staying in town you could try there on game day? Of course this doesn't help with the 'after the game' part, but if you really want the autograph this might be your best bet?
