L.A. Kings fan

[kinglouie11]

I have been a fan of this site for some time, and now, finally, I decided to join in. If I can help out in some way re: L.A. Kings stuff, let me know. I have been in contact recently with Dodger and am waiting for something from Bob Bourne (sent to the Kelowna address) in order to make our trade work out.

I would like to know if any of you have the addresses to any of the following people:
Mario Lessard (he's been the hardest person to find--any tips would be really appreciated)
Mike Corrigan
John Slaney
Bob Kudelski
John McIntyre
Peter Ahola
Lonnie Loach
Matt Johnson
Jeff Chychrun
Tim Gleason (are the Hurricanes good about sending things to them?)
Steve Duchesne (there are two addresses?? which is the most recent one?)
Larry Robinson
Craig Redmond
Al Jensen
Paul Guay
Dave Langevin
Phil Myre

I would like to try Josef Stumpel and Ziggy Palffy but I am not sure how to send stuff out to Slovakia and what are the chances? Also, Alexander Frolov in Russia.

I had great success last January 2012. With the help of many of you on the database, I got:
TTM Ralph Backstrom, Gary Sargent, Jimmy Carson, Ab Demarco, Charlie Simmer, Glenn Goldup, Eddie Shack, and Ken Baumgartner.

IP: Mike Cammalleri (jersey), Olli Jokinen (puck), Jerome Iginla (signed puck and 500 goal scorer on it--an awesome person), Bernie Nicholls, Dave Taylor, Rob Blake, and Charlie Simmer (all on a special Kings poster). I have also been fortunate recently to get most of the current players of the Kings except Simon Gagne (out with concussion).

Lastly, I plan to mail out a large amount of items soon--again, thanks to the efforts and successes of many of you--to the following present/past players:
Brian Benning
Lowell MacDonald
Gord Labossiere
Randy Manery
Garry Galley
Denis Dejordy
Gerry Desjardins
Andre St. Laurent
Shea Weber (for my son)
Don Cherry (for my son)
Joe Pavelski (for my son)
Kevin Stevens
Aaron Miller
Adam Deadmarsh
Jason Allison
Sean Avery
Keith Crowder
J.S. Giguiere (for my son)
and Guy Lafleur

I will keep you all posted on these in the coming weeks/months. I look forward to talking to many of you.

I also was extremely surprised and ecstatic to receive the following (two weeks again) from the following current players:

Within the past three days, I got the following current and past Kings players IP:

Missed out on Simon Gagne, Darryl Sutter, and Luc Robitaille--Sunday practice and Fantasy Camp.


Finally, if anyone has further info. on the following, I would really appreciate it:

Tim Gleason (are the Hurricanes good about sending things to the players?)
Steve Duchesne (there are two addresses?? which is the most recent one?)
Craig Redmond
Al Jensen
Paul Guay

Got TTM:

Larry Playfair--asked for 1 signed card, and he gave me 2. What a happy afternoon!!

[kinglouie11]

Keith Crowder (puck and card) 2.5 to 3 weeks

Guy Lafleur (for me--puck and card)
(for my son--two McFarlanes) 2.5 to 3 weeks

I paid a bit for postage and the trouble, but I am floored by Lafleur's generosity, considering what AJ, Frozen Pond, and Bossa would normally charge.

Another joyful day of autograph collecting.

[kinglouie11]

Only 1 so far this week: Doug Robinson 3-4 weeks (Kings puck).

Good luck to the rest of you.

[kinglouie11]

Forgot to mention it, but a few Kings IP's this week:

Darryl Sutter (card/puck)
Scott Parse (puck)
Jeff Carter (jersey)

[kinglouie11]

Don Cherry (puck). He also sent two extra signed cards of his and returned my check for postage.

Gerry Desjardins (card)

Both took 1 month to arrive.

[kinglouie11]

IP:

Darryl Sutter: card (Blackhawks) and puck (Kings)
Bob Miller: broadcaster (2 Kings pucks)

TTM: Both arrived in a bit over a month.

Don Cherry 3/1 Very classy and personalized for my son
John Slaney 2/2
Doug Robinson 1/1

Not too many since mid-March.

Luc Robitaille IP 2 posters today
John Slaney TTM c/o Team last week

Dodgerdon and I worked something out; he helped me get Tony Granato, and I got Jonathan Quick and Jack Johnson for his collection.

Otherwise, all has been slow. All the best for everyone.

Michael Cooper (Lakers) IP: jersey and photo. Was very generous with his inscription.
Garry Galley TTM: two pucks and one card (1.5 months)
Luc Robitaille IP: two posters w/ HOF 09. As always, one of the best signers and people I have ever met.
