GOING to stop teaching it? I wasn't aware they still taught it.


Uh-oh.....

The irony was immense, I snorted my lunch noodles out my nose, almost had to Heimlich myself. Lol

i think they have stopped teaching it, as 3 autos come to mind:

Chris Stewart (Cmon really? at least put SOME effort into it)

Ilya Zubov (has to have the WORST auto I have ever seen)

Luca Caputi (it would be completely rediculous only he puts his jersey # in there to spice it up a bit)

On the other end, Lanny McDonald has one of my favorite autos of all time. Neat, unique, and u can pick out almost every letter in it. Feels more like a legit auto than newer players:

Another positive to cursive writing...it's harder to pick out the spelling mistakes.

J. P. Dumon'ts auto is also very simple and ugly.

Stewarts auto definitely fell off during his RC year, wasnt too bad before then though:

if anyone is sick of looking at Stewarts auto, i'd be happy to take them off of ur hands

I don't think an autograph is necessarily indicitive of the neatness of a person's handwriting. My handwriting is extremely neat and legible (hybrid of printing and scriptive, like Hederman's) but my signature is very illegible. When your job requires you to sign 40-50 times a day, you learn to shorten it up and write it quickly.
