And so, in their honour (and because they just lost to the Montréal Canadiens), I present you this card:
Don't let the scan fool you, the top-left corner is pristine, that's just the penny sleeve bending because the card is so thick |
As I mentioned, Perry has a Hart and a Rocket Richard on his resume (both from 2010-11), a Stanley Cup (2007), three All-Star Game nods and a 50-goal season. He's also a golden boy, both at the World Juniors (2005) and Olympics (2010 and 2014). His number was retired by his Junior team, the London Knights, as he was the OHL's (and Memorial Cup's) best player in 2004-05. And to think he was chosen 28th in total at the 2003 draft...
Smith-Pelly, on the other hand, was chosen 42nd overall in 2010. He's currently in his third season with the Ducks and has 20 goals and 35 points in 44 games so far this year. He had 7 goals and 13 points in his first 56 NHL games spread over two seasons...
