All-Star Weekend continues to the RBC Center. We had stopped by Which Wich for food before heading over to meet the Red Carpet arrivals prior to the Skills Competition. The Mascots came out about 30 minutes before the players and coaches arrived. They all focused on Lauren's superstar sunglasses! One mascot even took them and walked around with them for 5 minutes. There were people all around the barriers but we found a spot. It was PERFECT! And before you knew it, here they came: One player, of course, not missed by the French girls was Sidney Crosby, but early down the carpet was one of my favorites-Alex Ovechkin from the Washington Capitals. He makes me melt! I know someone else who makes me melt, and he lives right down the street. I thought about calling him to hang out with us, but I ended up talking myself out of it...AGAIN!
I wasn't so sure we were going to actually get any autographs, but once the players started coming down the Red Carpet, I knew they were in for a day! One right after the other they came through and the girls got almost every single one. Once in a lifetime picture of Allison, no tongue and a 'true' smile! Allison & Lauren were too excited.
We missed Laurens favorite-Carolina Hurricanes Jeff Skinner-18 years old! Right before he got to Lauren, they pulled him away to do a television interview and when he came back he skipped us. So I guess we will track him down at the RecZone to get that autograph!
As they came through, several players even made comments about Lauren's glasses! I don't even know what they say, but they sure were the 'attraction'. The television camera was focused on her for 'ever' (at least it seems).
There is nothing like some nice-looking guys dressed in totally awesome suits! Wow!
No, you are not seeing double! Daniel and Henrik Sedin, both play for the Vancouver Canucks. Kind of weird huh? Not really, the Staal brothers are a part of the All-Star weekend but they aren't twins. However, there are 4 Staal brothers that have played in the NHL. And we are lucky to have Eric as our Captain!
Kris Letang-Defenseman for Pittsburgh! Too sexy! Kind of got that Rivers look, huh? Back in the older days!
I think this is Anze Kopitar-Center for the LA Kings! Looking mights European, don't you think? Hes 23 years old and from Slovenia! European, indeed!
Ever wonder what that 'real' Stanley Cup ring looks like? How big it is? Coach Joel Quenneville of the Chicago Blackhawks pulled his out of his pocket and handed it to a fan for a minute. He then put it on his finger as he continued to autograph Allisons jersey. Its HUGE!
And of course, Coach Peter Laviolette! I said 'Good to have you back in Raleigh Coach'. He replied, "its good to be back'. Our Coach that took us to a Stanley Cup! Wow!~
After all is said and done.....not too bad! The girls ended up with more autographs than any of us could have imagined. Our weekend just kept getting better!
This is worthy of framing material! Couldn't wait to see what is in store next! Bring on the Skills Competition~!
