I don't think so...Gainey don't play 'dat

[chadsexington]

You guys notice Bob Gainey is missing the point of the blank signing area in this year's Habs Centennial set?

That's not too bad I guess...then you see this gem:

Just thought I'd share something that made me chuckle this early afternoon.

As bad as Gainey was in missing the margins, it still doesn't beat the king of non-UD conformity...

yea i did see one of those gaineys ... thought he would catch on after a while .... but i guessed wrong ....

 

[MGiuseffi1969]

His sig is kinda like a Kovalev Slapper... Wide of the mark.

 

[JohnnyDrama]

Wow, talk about not giving a crap.

Ah yes Mike...we call that Sami Saloitis round these parts.

 

[spooner9ball]

Too many blocked shots.....

Wow, talk about not giving a crap.

WHAT???????? HE choose to sign in a slightly different but gives a crisp bold..every single frickin letter auto and people piss on him!!!

WOW!!! think you got it wrong. if he didn't give a crap he would sign 2 squiggley lines and take 1 second vs. 5 seconds.

my 2 cents

gotta agree with you there. while Bob may not be the best coach () he's pretty good with fans and autographs, he once stopped during an interview to sign a baseball cap for me, now you don't see that often. and his auto while slanted is sharp and consistently every single letter, unlike 99% of players today.

The sig may be crisp, but to just blatantly "miss" that area on every card is a bit of a joke. He'd have to be stupid or completely oblivious to not notice doing that.

perhaps its the way he signs things, I've known other people who write on a slant, and often have to have the paper turned at an angle so that their writing appears straight. just a thought.

And that may be the case, but he's being PAID to sign his name. You'd think he'd at least try to get it in the right spot.

 

[leafs4_cup]

There is only one way to find out, lets see one of his contracts...I bet he signed his name straight on that

 

[trekrun]

Mine was OK by my standards, card SOLD.

...which he has done. If he signs it slanted, straight, whatever - he signed it. Jesus, no wonder he didnt sign for anyone for a long time - look at all the grief he gets. At least you can read the guys name.

 

[hextall27]

Yea this is not a big deal...

 

[justinanika]

no big deal at all, just something for someone to whine about.

 

[Shaboobala]

You guys are completely off point if you think chadsexington is actually serious about this.

He is just saying it humoured him, not bashing him at all. Yowza

 

[bigben913]

It would be funny if he signed upside down. Thats what I would do, just to watch people talk about it on HI

 

[RGM81]

Wow, talk about not giving a crap.

Just to give you an idea of who we're dealing with here: Bob Gainey once walked into a Burger King and ordered a Big Mac. Nobody complained.

I don't think the comments were directed towards me Gordon...moreso the folks who were agitated by the auto off the spot.

Realistically though, the dual auto was pretty bad...you guys have to admit that much.
