Awesome pics man! Thanks for posting those. I'm jealous you got to go see the HHOF, that's something I've always wanted to do.

Great pix. Thanks for posting.

Looks like you had a great time.

No surprise about Buck Pierce. Just an awesome person.

He is in the first year of a 2+1.

Awesome trip, glad you had a blast. I'm always impressed at how down to earth and approachable Buck Pierce is. Great pics with him. Met him after the Grey Cup last year, and he was awesome. Too bad you had to endure the stinker in T.O.

lol - it looks like it, but there were a few people mulling around. we also happened to be there very early (as soon as the doors were opened)

by the way; did you happen to get that tampa bay lightning hat i was interested in at your store?

Great picture story .G.

Pretty ironic that your dad lived in Hamilton.

btw...is that Jonathan Bernier's Lewiston mask below the Lucic jersey?

yup; that it is jordan.

there was so much stuff there it's unreal, i skimmed through parts of the hall, and it still took me about 2 hours to go through, absolutely unreal

also - just a quick thanks to D for loading some of my pics into the gallery here and at 13thman.com

Great post. Do we have post of the year nominations because this I think should be it!

Having your Dad show you around his old stomping grounds was an extra special time. Glad you were the winner of the trip. Also thanks to Ric for letting you stay the extra day so you could visit the Hockey Hall of Fame

..........you were walking back and forth in the walk way behind me cheering for the Lions and I wondered if that was you.........I was wearing the long black hooded raincoat, so you probably didn't see my Lion jersey........sorry I didn't stop and talk to you.

I did notice you talking to the big guy wearing the Lions jacket down the way.......my hamilton buddy said that was Ron Braley, David Braley's son. He has season tickets up higher than his dad.

David Braley has several season tickets right below that, close to field level..........he noticed another Lion fan in the vicinity and waved the guy down to sit with him as he had several empty seats.

Once again, sorry I didn't hook up with you before the game.........and that also applies to cromartie and wife..............but I was chosen to serve on a jury on monday and I had no way of knowing when I would get out of court on friday........thus I couldn't make any plans. The court case is still going on !!
