PenaltyShot 96 521 Report post Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) Too far of a drive and not enough time now... I'll fork over the cash for these things anyway, but I would love to get some autographs. <<< That's why Malts is alone. What's stopping Draper from ringing that bell tonight, couldn't he just sit in a chair? Edited December 11, 2007 by PenaltyShot 96 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted December 12, 2007 Detroit Free Press Are they going to be standing there ringing a bell? I can't believe people wouldn't be bothering them for autographs? Kirk Maltby will be at Sanders/Morley Candy, 16837 Kercheval Ave., Grosse Pointe Park. Aaron Downey & Jiri Hudler will be at Kroger’s, 1237 N. Coolidge Hwy., Troy. Johan Franzen & Valtteri Filppula at Sam’s Club, 27300 Wixom Rd., Novi. And Ken Holland and Mike Babcock will be at Hiller’s, 425 N. Center St., Northville. Poor Maltby, all alone. Inappropriate to ask for autographs? Probably not. Inapproriate to try to mug them because they are rich, or give them giant bear hugs or slobbery kisses? I'd say yes. *shrugs* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmonte345 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) Saw Hudler and Downey...I thought they were super nice, outgoing and kind of funny too. I stopped by to see them too and I agree. I talked with Downey for about ten mins and he seemed really friendly. I told Downey I was really hoping to see him lay one right across Tootoo's chin last night. Didn't really chat with Huds that much other than a hand shake and a Merry Christmas. Edited December 12, 2007 by jmonte345 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JayUp88 1 Report post Posted December 12, 2007 I went to Yuri and Downy first and they seemed pretty up beat and friendly. It was pretty busy there at the Kroger. They kept saying if they get a hundred bucks for the kids they will win 7 more. it was pretty funny. I can't believe how small Yuri really is. Then i went to Flip and Fronz which wasn't as busy. They were kind of inside at the Sams Club which was not that busy at all. They were pretty friendly too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted December 12, 2007 I'll be ringing bells at Gordman's on Friday if anyone wants an autograph. No one? OK I just wanted to throw kudos towards the guys for doing this. Great cause. The SA saved my butt a few years back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
