Hey Bret!
I watched the game 7 Stanley Cup win last night on the 4th anniversary of the big night. I still get chills every time I watch it… That’s when I found you on Twitter and signed up. Thanks so much for the reply!
Anyways, I was really disappointed last season when the Hurricanes didn’t have a special night in honor of you. You did a lot for our team and I was really in hopes you could be there for a thank-you from the thousands of Caniacs at a game. Sadly, this lame email is all you get!
So glad we got to have you here and that you got your cup. All the best as you in life! You will always be remembered with fond memories in the hearts of us Caniacs on the other side of the country…

Hello Bret,
I have a game used stick from your days in Stl. Is there a way I could ship it to you and have you sign it and return? I would pay for shipping both ways of course. Please reply to rushfan72@charter.net if there is anyway you could make this happen for me.
Thank you,
Chad Denison
