Has it already been a year
since I last featured José Théodore? Residents of Québec will be seeing a lot more of him next season, as the now-hockey analyst woks for
TVA Sports, which has secured the rights to all NHL national games, meaning between half and 60% of
Montréal Canadiens games, for the next decade.
I only started watching that station during the last playoffs, and felt it was very amateurish, cliché-ridden, and far from the level
RDS had accustomed us to. But unless I want to go back to just watching 20-40 games a year, I'll have to get used to it.
Sorry for being so negative for a cool card like this one:
It's from
Upper Deck's
2005-06 Ice set (card #CT-JO of the
Cool Threads sub-set); while the picture on the front of the card shows him wearing the Habs' white (then-home) uniform, the two-colour swatch is red and blue, and the only time they connect on a jersey is on the red one (at that time it was the ''away'' uniform, now serves for games at the Bell Centre).
Year in and year out, Ice and
Artifacts are my favourite sets in terms of design (though this particular sub-set is pretty standard); I prefer
O-Pee-Chee,
Victory and
Score (R.I.P.) in terms of price-to-number-of-cards ratio to send out for autographs, but they're usually plain-lookng, whereas Ice and Artfacts are basically works of art.
