A few months ago, I designed and printed a 3D necklace of vegetables (with the pendant being a large broccoli and accompanied by tomatoes, carrots, and an eggplant) with "VEGGIE" and "70" printed on it. We took it to a signing event, and we had him sign my wife's jersey and then I asked him to "sign my eggplant." He seemed to be genuinely amused at it and signed it and it was just a cool experience for us. Then later in October, we went to a home game early to watch the guys practice. I was wearing the signed necklace, and Veggie skated past us and pounded the glass when he passed us, and a few moments later he came up to us and tossed to us a warm-up puck.
It was all just a really cool interaction with the guy, and he and Spicy are definitely our favorites now. I'm just so happy for that experience, and hope the best for Veggie (and ALL the boys), he freaking KILLED it today, so way to go Veggie!!! And what a GAME tonight in general, boys! LFG!!
Also my wife can't help but comment how gorgeous the man is in person EVERY time we see him in person or on screen, I think if he was single I'd be in trouble…
Anyone else have a cool experience with him or any of the other players?
