Looking forward to going to the Bell Centre this weekend but so far this week's highlight was seeing and talking to the hockey powers that be across the aisle from us, here at the IIFF junior's tournament in Ottawa.
Stevie Y was looking very cute (according to Charlaine), Brent Sutter was diplomatic, Got an autograph from Bob Clarke (ewww!) but the BEST was when I asked Brian Burke to sign my Montreal Canadiens jersey! I didn't know it before hand, but most of the section was watching and gave a concerted laugh at Burke's stern, sterile, decisive, dismissive 'No!' to my request. That's all he said... 'No!'
What an opportunity! Over a beer about 4 minutes later I dared Dan Crandles to EVER get the chance to ask Bob Gainey to sign his Leafs jersey (heaven forbid Gainey should ever be exposed that!).
I feel like I played the right bauer in the jib-jab ever-going sparring dialog between us Canadiens fans and those Leafs fans!!
