Thoughts:

It was great to receive Mr. Bathgate's autographs in the mail yesterday. He is the reason NHL goalies wear masks today. He was an awesome player and has a very wonderful autograph. He is quickly becoming one of my favourites. He was nice enough to autograph the blank card I send in the envelope for support.

Thoughts:

One of the greatest Maple Leaf Captains and certainly one of the bright spots in a tough wait for the Stanley Cup. Doug Gilmour has always been one of my all-time favourite Maple Leafs. He played with passion and determination. If you haven't seen his leadership in the '93 series against Detroit, I strontly suggest you take a look. An unbelievable series!

It is amazing to receive his autograph so quickly. Thank you Mr. Gilmour! You've made me happy (pun intended).

Thoughts:

A slight departure from my collection of the Toronto Maple Leafs, but probably not my last one. I have never met Mr. Beliveau, however, I have been told by a dear friend of mine that there is aura that follows him. Hopefully, one day I will be able to experience it, but for now, I am extremely thrilled to have such a prompt return from such a legendary player.
