I want them all...is that a crime?
It was January 4th, 2002, Heather and I were outside of the Pepsi Center waiting for players to come out.....AGAIN. Most of these guys were great each and every time we met them and we just couldn't get enough. Back to my point, Peter came out and...SURPRISE SURPRISE, he was signing autographs. He intimidated me a bit since I always figured he just had perma-attitude. Heather asks, "Are you going to ask him for a picture?". I could feel myself staring at her like she had just spoke a different language, "No...there's no way he'll do it and I don't want to not like him even more". He was getting closer and I held out my program for him to sign. I'm not well under the circumstances of beautiful men all around me, so it started to become my thing not to remember what was happening before I met these guys. The next thing I know he was right in front of me and out it came, "Can I have a picture with you?". He smiled and kindly obliged! I turned to give my camera to Heather and put my stuff down somewhere. I turned to him to find him eye level to me with his famous grin, "You ready?" he asked as I fell into those ice blue eyes and groaned, it was all I could do. Heather snapped the picture and I was a changed person.
Reading this as I go, I feel a bit shallow for the reasons I changed my mind about Peter. It definitely is a "had to be there" situation. I had heard stories that he was shy or whatever and then came to believe these stories that night. He was VERY sweet then and each time I met him afterwards. I think I just might have jumped to conclusions too quickly with him.
I promise to not be stuck on the Avs stories. I was forced to change my opinion of Brendan Shanahan, Jeremy Roenick, and Trevor Kidd to name a few. I love all hockey players no matter what, but here's just one last image of #21.
Until next time.....enjoy all the "GUNH" material!!

I remember watching him lean into you and I thought he was going to kiss you!! It was such a great moment!
Ooo...Trevor Kidd...maybe my next post should be about him, yeah? ;)
Shanny's a pig. I did the happy dance last summer when I heard he signed with the Rangers and was no longer going to be wearing my beloved winged wheel. Now to get Bertuzzi out of it.
I don't find JR hot, but I think he has a heck of a personality, and although he said some incredibly stupid things during the lockout I still like him.
But Shanahan smelled SO good when I met him! Ha! Jeremy Roenick was so cool - signing autographs at the Pepsi Center of all places - you're right, he has one heck of a personality! I wouldn't "gunh" over him but he's not bad.
Oh, I'll give you that Shanny's cute, but when I tell you the "pig" story, you'll agree with me that he's no longer an attractive person. I'll e-mail it to you.
Heather you know I would have been here commenting espcially if you had said "there is a really hot pic of Nikki", but I can't even seem to get anywhere to comment lately... damn job and kids are taking away my blog time!
just passing threw,come on ovr for a visit darling
Did you see that Forsberg is pulling the old "I don't know if I'm ever going to play hockey again" crap. Dear God what a friggin' prima donna. If he doesn't want to play anymore, just say it, instead of making the Preds wait around a la Barry Sanders.
I hadn't heard that...I hate it when players do that, especially ones I like. *sigh*
