Settling for Sergei

Though my disappointment at not getting autographs from Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin was somewhat expected, having Penguins defenseman Sergei Gonchar sign this Team Russia puck helped to ease the sting.

Gonchar, who is a willing signer for a player of his stature, joined Atlanta's Ilya Kovalchuk as the two Russians to sign these pucks.
