RALEIGH, N.C. — A mountain of a Thursday that started for the Panini America crew at 4 a.m. and didn’t end until Friday after midnight provided NHL All-Star Weekend with one of what promises to be countless signature moments.
Luckily for us, NHL superstars themselves spent a great deal of Thursday providing splendid signature moments of their own at the Panini America autograph room.
The players filed in from all parts of North America, sure to stop by and lend their penmanship to special All-Star patches and pucks. Of course, we also took advantage of the opportunity by having some players sign their trading cards and stickers for either previously released or upcoming Panini America hockey products.
In this exclusive video, we spend a little quality time talking cards, collectibles and autographs with NHL stars Taylor Hall, Dustin Byfuglien, Phil Kessel and Erik Karlsson.
Stay tuned all weekend long for additional coverage of 2011 All-Star Weekend, including an exclusive interview with No. 2 overall pick Tyler Seguin.
Very interesting stuff, especially seeing the guys sign through a sheet of stickers as quick as they do.
Some guys seem to be more into it than others and it shows. Kessel seems pretty upbeat all the time while Erik Karlsson seems to be going through the motions. Still great to see and hopefully there will be more videos like this in the future.
