So, I went to the game watching party at the R-Bar yesterday. Had a ton of fun, cheered the team on to another tense win, got a bit tippled, and ended up winning this signed (mini) helmet! It's from early in the year - no Mason, Dubie, or Williams, obviously, but that doesn't keep it from being seriously awesome. :)

Hey, I bet Freddy's on there!

He is! Filatov, too, and some of the guys who were up for training camp (I expect that's where it got signed) like Clitsome, Rome, MacKensie, and I -think- one of those squiggles might be Mayorov.

I started at Tyutin's signature, and it seemed like a bunch of squiggly lines. Usually, you can kinda make out the name in some form or another, hold it at an angle or sideways, or something.

The only thing I thought I got out of it was the last letter. Was it an н (n sound) for the end of Tyutin, or was it an ч (ch sound) for the end of Anatolievich.

I can't tell.

Yeah, some of these are impressively squiggled. I -finally- figured out Nash's because I realiozed that what I thought was a half G was actually supposed to be the 6 in 61.

Peca's is also impressively non-intuitive. (Though to be fair, you're being asked to sign probably the 500th thing that day, and it's a helmet, and you're using a blue sharpie, which isn't the most amazing writing tool int he world...)

Please... the Sharpie is the greatest writing instrument known to man.

Sorry, I just can't get behind that.
