Met Oshie & Perron Today!
I saw on the Blues Facebook page that Oshie & Perron were going to be signing at a Verizon store in St. Louis today.....I had class today in Edwardsville which is only 15 min from St. Louis so I decided I'd stop by. I actually wanted to pick up some earphones for my droid, so I killed two birds with one stone
I stopped by a card shop on the way and bought a glossy 8x10 of Oshie....the guy didn't have any 8x10's of Perron, but they actually had some nice 5x7 glossy photos for free at the signing. I told David that I tried to find a 8x10 of him, but didn't have any luck on short notice lol.
Sooo I got to meet my two favorite players on the team today for the first time
Oshie signed HUGE for for me

Very nice! Were they friendly & talk to you or did they just have their heads down all day signing away?

Nope not at all! I first handed my photo to a lady that was taking items from fans and then she was handing them to the players just to keep things kinda moving. When she was giving my photo Oshie was when I started talking to Perron about not being able to find a 8x10 of him today. He was like, ah that's okay we have plenty to sign here and kinda chuckled. Oshie actually spoke to me first and said, Hey how are you doing? Really fan friendly guys! My experience today just added on even more as to why I like collecting these guys.

That is awesome! Congrats! It is always great to hear about guys meeting their favorite players, and how well-mannered hockey players are. That photo of Oshie is a really great shot! Perron looks like he's a bit dopey, but a decent pic none-the-less! Haha! Great stuff and thanks for sharing!

Story got even better today! The manager from the Verizon store called and told me that I won the 4 tickets to the game against the Avs on the 11th! I had forgot that I even registered for the drawing (he was walking around the line taking entries on an iPad). Tickets are in the lower level too! Who wants to come to St. Louis??
