No, this isnt a terrible re-post. The Avs really were here twice in 3 wks. Gary Bettmans NHL, gotta loathe it.

This trip, although statistically I think I got more items signed, they were a less receptive team overall. Understandable to some extent considering its their 2nd trip here in the month of November.

goales
CRAIG ANDERSON- 4 autographs. Remember when I said he seemed put out by signing, hes actualyl starting to ACT that way now. Was on more than 1 occasion ignoring requests. In small crowds he will still do a multiple item request, but even then its limited to 2 or 3, maybe 4 at most. He is becoming less receptive to the idea of signing multiples.
PETER BUDAJ- 4 autographs. Was generally in a better mood this trip for signing.

defense.
JOHN MICHAEL LILES- 4 autographs. Always a great signer, still a class act.
BRETT CLARK- 3 autographs. Signed when asked, but on more than occasion said to people "again?" with a less than humoured mood to the question.
KYLE QUINCEY- 4 autographs. Did everything asked when asked.
SCOTT HANNAN- 3 autographs. Scott has always shown a level of unhappiness with signing, but he still does it.  Was a strict 1 per anything he signed.
ADAM FOOTE- 4 autographs. I probably could have got more, but I was trying to get too many guys at once.
RYAN WILSON-  0 autographs. He signed willingly, I just had no items for him when he was signing..
KYLE CUMISKEY- 2 autographs. Was willing to sign multiples.
TOM PREISSING- 2 autographs. Was perfectly fine signing multiples.
RUSLAN SALEI- no report

forwards
PAUL STASTNY- 5 autographs. Was a consistent 1 per person each time you saw him. Dont try to loop him, or he stops signing all together.
MATT DUCHENE- 6 autographs. I know the numbers say otherwise, but hes actually a less accomodating signer than the stats show. He cut off a couple regulars quite quickly this trip that he remembered from previously.
RYAN O'REILLEY- 3 autographs. Happily did multiples. If he keeps up this pace for too much longer, we'll see if he is still happy to do multiples.
WOJTEK WOLSKI- 3 autographs. When confronted for an autograph, he'll do it. But he will do everything he can to avoid that, including waiting for a bigger player to be signing in hopes of sneaking by.
MILAN HEJDUK- 6 autographs. Usually a good 1-2 per signer. Still is.
DAVID JONES- 5 autographs. Willingly did everything presented to him.
CHRIS STEWART- 6 autographs. Signed multiples, but when there was more than a couple people around, he limited to just 1 or 2 per still.
MAREK SVATOS- 2 autograph. He is still elusive & tries to sneak by when he can.
DAVID KOCI- 2 autographs. Willing signer of multiples.
CHRIS DURNO- 3 autographs. Signed whatever was asked of him.
TJ HENSICK- 7 autographs. Signed willingly when asked.
DARCY TUCKER- 3 autographs. Consistent 1 per when asked. He'll look you over too to make sure you arent looping.
 TJ GALIARDI- 2 autographs. Signed multiples when asked.
 CODY MCLEOD- 3 autographs. Signed willingly when asked.
 MATT HENDRICKS- 4 autographs. Signed whatever was asked of him.

staff
STEVE KONOWALCHUK- 4 autographs. 4 Seems to be his limit.
ADAM DEADMARSH- 3 autographs. Signed everything asked.
ERIC LACROIX- 2 autographs. I was the only one with items for him, he happily did them.
JOE SACCO- 4 autographs. Like Kono, he seems to cap it at 4, which is interesting since his autograph is literally a hastily scrawled "JS".

I have enjoyed going for the Avs for a long time. The Joe Sakic effect helped, as well, they often had more class players than ass players. This years roster was more or less the same.

the goalies
CRAIG ANDERSON- 4 autographs. He actually looked put out to be signing, but still did multiple items without saying anything about it.
PETER BUDAJ- 1 autograph. An often Jekyle & Hyde signer, was more on the unwilling than willing side this trip, but still did sign on more than 1 occasion.

the defense
JOHN MICHAEL LILES- 3 autographs. Always a great signer, still a class act.
BRETT CLARK- 5 autographs. Except the 1 time where he was with Budaj who seemed uninterested in signing at the time, Brett was an accomodating signer.
KYLE QUINCEY- 3 autographs. Being one of the several new faces on this team since last time I had gone for them. It took me a while to get him because I was having trouble IDing him. Once I did though, he did everything.
SCOTT HANNAN- 3 autographs. Scott has always shown a level of unhappiness with signing, but he still does it. 
ADAM FOOTE- 4 autographs. Back when he would hang out with Patrick Roy I actually thought he was a dick. Turns out it was just the people he was hanging with. He has been nothing but class since breaking away from one of the sports least classy guys.
RYAN WILSON- 2 autographs. Had no problem asking him for a 2nd item.
KYLE CUMISKEY- 2 autographs. Was willing to sign multiples.
RUSLAN SALEI & TOM PREISSING- no reports

the forwards
PAUL STASTNY- 4 autographs. Was a consistent 1 per person each time you saw him. Dont try to loop him, or he stops signing all together.
MATT DUCHENE- 7 autographs. I know the numbers say otherwise, but hes actually a less accomodating signer than the stats show. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time a couple times. Generally, he is a strict 1 per on photos, and a 2 per overall.
RYAN O'REILLEY- 3 autographs. Happily did multiples. If he keeps up this pace for too much longer, we'll see if he is still happy to do multiples.
WOJTEK WOLSKI- 2 autographs. When confronted for an autograph, he'll do it. But he will do everything he can to avoid that, including waiting for a bigger player to be signing in hopes of sneaking by.

DAVID JONES- 5 autographs. Willingly did everything presented to him.
CHRIS STEWART- 5 autographs. Signed multiples, but when there was more than a couple people around, he limited to just 1 or 2 per.
MAREK SVATOS- 1 autograph. He is continually challenging Wojtek for worst signer on the team. This trip, he might have won.
DAVID KOCI- 3 autographs. Willing signer of multiples.
BRIAN WILLSIE- 2 autographs. Willing signer of multiples.
PHILIPPE DUPUIS- 1 autograph. Signed anything put infront of him.
CHRIS DURNO- 2 autographs. Signed whatever was asked of him.
