Daniel Briere

Currently with the Philadelphia Flyers.

Acquired in a trade December 15, 2010.

Fellow blogger and autograph collector Sal traded me this Briere autograph, along with two other cards, for a Cam Ward autographed card that I got signed for him in-person.  As many of you already know, Briere got beat recently in the Stanley Cup Final by his former teammate, Brian Campbell, whose autograph you can find here.

Lauri Tukonen

Insert in 2008-09 Upper Deck Black Diamond pack.

Currently in Finland with Lukko Rauma.

Kind of a bust for the Kings former 11th overall pick from Finland.  He did not score a point in his five career NHL games with the Los Angeles Kings, and I guess would have been one of their worst first round picks of recent memory, if anyone really remembers him that is.  Sorry, Lauri.  He's still only 24, so who knows if he'll come back; but, most likely, he won't make much of an impact.  I don't mind getting an autographed card inserted in a pack; but, I can try getting my other cards autographed through other means and get better luck that way.

Roberto Luongo Jersey Card

Insert in 2008-09 Upper Deck Black Diamond cards.

These cards were actually relatively inexpensive on ebay, and this was the best find of all the cards that I got shipped to me today.  Kinda looks like they put the old Canucks jerseys from about 2006-07 on here, because there is no green of basically any other colors of their current jerseys on this card other than the royal blue.

Tom Poti Jersey Card

Insert in 2006-07 Fleer card pack.

Currently with the Washington Capitals.

I have decided to post my other collectibles and cards that I have.  I got this jersey card in a pack of 2006-07 Fleer cards, and even though Poti has never impressed me, it's still cool to get a jersey card.

Brad Richards

Fan letter sent November 26, 2010.

3/3 Autographed cards received December 10, 2010.

Currently with the Dallas Stars.

My first TTM success came today when I got back from getting tile for a new shower in my parents' house (I live with them along with my brother) and it was good to find something in my mailbox after an average start to the day.  I don't know how long I should expect to wait for autographs, but I hope this doesn't make me spoiled or something about autograph collecting.

Note About Links Under Header

All the links under the header are to other websites.  I don't keep up with addresses.  Once on Sal's Hockey Autographs, you will be able to go to other websites (if necessary) in order to get a couple other addresses for NHL players.

Rostislav Olesz

Insert in 2006-07 Fleer card pack.

I still can't believe that I got this insert in a pack of Fleer cards.  I actually got a rare Alex Rodriguez card in 1994 or 1995 that I have since put in my closet because of the steroids scandal in baseball.  Anyway, Olesz signed his last name first on this card.

Jussi Jokinen

Acquired in-person November 22, 2010.

Currently with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Jussi Jokinen has, for the most part, only been known as a shootout specialist from the start of the 2005-06 season; but last year he was able to lead the Hurricanes in goals with 30 tallies.  However, he just really hasn't been able to find his goal scoring touch as much this season and maybe he'll just be some one-time 30-goal scorer.  Yet another autograph from the season-ticket holder signing session that I was lucky enough to get into.

Tuomo Ruutu

Acquired in-person November 22, 2010.

Currently with the Carolina Hurricanes.
I got this card in a pack of 2006-07 Fleer hockey cards.  It's obviously from Ruutu's oft-injured Blackhawks days.  For some reason the players couldn't choose another color marker that day or something (which I really would've preferred on the multi-player signed poster).

Ian White, Jamie McBain, Jon Matsumoto, Troy Bodie

Acquired in-person November 22, 2010.

I acquired all four of these signatures at a season-ticket holder event at the RBC Center.  Actually, a friend of my parents is a season-ticket holder and he took me with him so that I could get some autographs.  The item is just some extra poster that was free and I decided to pick it up and I got the autographs from the above players.  The top scan is Troy Bodie (20) and Jamie McBain (4) and the bottom scan is (from left to right) Jon Matsumoto (18), Ian White (7), and the afformentioned McBain autograph.
