After last season's games, Better Half and I went to the locker room sale to see what there might be worthwhile to garner as mementos of the"Come Back Boyz".
Waiting in line, we chatted with various fans and, naturally, discussed favorite players. Ours was, of course, Mathieu Beaudoin, Nr. 25. We snatched his, apparently never used, beige embroidered name tag. Also a green practice jersey (I don't do white any more, LOL) and other mementos.
And that was that, we thought.
A few days after, the mailman delivered a box with no sender name. We gingerly opened it (after all, there are crazies out there), turned it upside down and out tumbled helmet Nr. 25, the green version! So, now we had helmet Nr. 25.
Not knowing how and where to contact Matthieu Beaudoin to actually dedicate it .....
I thought, maybe it would serve rather nicely as 'candy' 'dish' holder ;-) ;-)
BUT, some 'sweet person' from the Aeros Promotion team offered to hand carry it to a morning skate for Mathieu Beaudoin to sign!
And I did not even have to 'dance for it'
BUT, horrors upon horrors, the signature was smudged off in the transfer to us.
Well, the first try went awry, so we tried again with different pens and a basket to carry back the helmet! I felt like Salome....except we had just a helmet in a basket NOT a head on a platter ;-) LOL.
But no dice... no second try for a signature by MB.... SIGH!
Maybe we are jinxed.
I SHOULD have danced, tee hee...just to get rid of THAT picture , someone would offer to get the helmet to MB for a second try LOL.
Well, we will have to try again, maybe it will be done in San Antonio, in Austin or here..OJALA! Beaudoin will think 'THAT blasted helmet is showing up all over Texas' LOL. And just to get rid of it he'll sign it somewhere!

Good luck with the continuing saga of the helmet! Nice metaphor, I thought. :)
Ought it not have been a STRAUSS fan? LOL!
But you are right, the music can be similar!
