Alain Côté & Guy Lafleur IP

Earlier today, Alain Côté and Guy Lafleur were signing autographs at a new Best Buy store in Quebec City. I got in line 30 minutes before the scheduled time and there were not many people in line. While waiting in line, the staff even told us we could take all the time we wanted to chat with the guests and take pictures! How often do you hear that at signings?! I got a card signed by Alain Côté, a puck signed by Guy Lafleur and a personalized promotional sheet handed out by each player. Here are scans of everything:

Guy Lafleur's Farewell Tour IP

Earlier today, Guy Lafleur played his last alumni game ever at the Colisée in Quebec City. It was a game between the Québec Nordiques alumni and the Montréal Canadiens alumni. For the occasion, the 3 Stastny brothers (Peter, Anton and Marian) played together for the first time since 1994 and Joe Sakic also played for the 1^st time since he announced his retirement in 2009. I had a great time at the game! Guy Lafleur was very emotional during his speech after the game...

Even though the game took place in the afternoon, I arrived to the Colisée early to catch the players as they arrived to the arena. It allowed me to get autographs from a few players who didn't sign after the game, such as Joe Sakic, Peter Stastny and Guy Lafleur! Here are scans of all the autographs I got today:

And here’s who I missed: Anton Stastny (wouldn't sign before or after the game), Marian Stastny (same), Guy Lapointe, Claude Lemieux and others who I didn't know would be there, such as Donald Brashear and Mario Roberge...

Québec Nordiques Alumni vs. Montréal Canadiens Alumni IP

Earlier today took place a game between the Québec Nordiques Alumni and the Montréal Canadiens Alumni at the Colisée, in Québec, QC. A friend and I waited for the players to come out after the game to get autographs, but we missed several players who either didn't come out through the usual exit or directly got on their bus, which was parked inside the arena. Still, here are the cards I managed to get autographed:

On the other hand, I missed these guys: Yvan Cournoyer, Vincent Damphousse, Stéphane Richer, Yvon Lambert, Donald Audette, Stéphane Quintal, Steven Finn, André "Moose" Dupont, Richard Sévigny and others... I'm still happy with who I got overall, though! :o)

Guy Lafleur TTM

Guy Lafleur c/o home - 2 days (!!!!!) - 3/3

This has got to be the fastest TTM return ever for anyone! I swear it only took 2 days for the cards to get back to me signed!!! That's just incredible, even if he only lives 2.5 hours away...

Guy Lafleur IP

Guy Lafleur was signing autographs earlier today at the Canadian Tire in St-Romuald, QC (just south of Quebec City). In addition to a 4" X 6" promotional photo they were handing out at the signing, I was able to get 2 cards signed!
