Danny Taylor Autographed Game Used Stick

A friend of mine that I play hockey with, knows Danny Taylor's wife's family really well.  He also knows that I have Danny's old pads that I use to play with currently.  He was at their house for a party leading up to their wedding this summer and asked Danny if he had any sticks laying around that he didn't want anymore.  Danny went back into the garage and pulled out this beauty.  Its a game used stick from this season with the Abbotsford Heat of the AHL.  He signed it on the blade as well.  Man is this thing beat up.  I still gotta find a spot for it up on my wall, but I am sure I will find some room.

I actually only sent him 2 cards, so he sent me back the Young Guns card signed on his own.  I met Danny last summer at a local charity event.  I have been using his old goalie pads for the last 5 years or so.  I asked him in my letter, if there would be some way that I could buy a game used stick off of him so I can hang it on my wall.  No letter was sent with this, so I will have to hope for the same local event next year.  After signing as a free agent with the Springfield Falcons, he was released after only 10 games.  In those 10 games, his stats were actually better than the other goalies the team had, however, they decided to sign Manny Legace which left Danny the odd man out.  He signed on right away with the Abbotsford Heat due to an injury to Henrik Karlsson of the Calgary Flames, which in turn, forced the call up of Leland Irving from the Heat.  Danny has been amazing for the heat so far.  In 17 games, he has a 2.19 GAA, and .935 save PCT.  Hopefully, we will see him in the NHL again.

Kris Chucko TTM Success

I sent to Kris Chucko of the Abbotsford Heat on 12/31/2009 and received 2/2 back on 01/18/2010.  18 days from the Calgary Flames' minor league affiliate.  He has 18 points in 36 games this year in the AHL.  A great autograph to add to my collection.  The cards were sent back to me without the top loader and just in the penny sleeve.  No damage to them though.

Mikael Backlund TTM Success

I sent 2 cards to Mikael Backlund c/o the Abbotsford Heat, on 11/24/2009.  I received them both back signed on 12/11/2009.  17 days returned for this up coming star.  Mikael was amazing at the World Jr. Championships for the last 2 years.  I have no doubt that he will become a great NHL player in the next couple of years.  He signed both cards in silver sharpie which shows up awesome!
