It was hard deciding which card to feature in the post that will make my page views pass the 200,000 mark for this blog, but I thought I could go with things that represented me well as a goalie: old-school helmet with a white neck protector,
Vaughn Legacy 2000 blocker, black pads, a mix of stand-up and butterfly, usually the best player on an awful team...
Like
Jeff Hackett, seen here wearing the
San Jose Sharks' inaugural white (home) uniform, on card #308 from
Upper Deck's
1992-93 Series 1 set, featuring the NHL's 75th anniversary patch:
He signed it in black sharpie in his time with the
Montréal Canadiens. You might recall my encounters with him were
not the friendliest...
Still, he overachieved on teams that underwhelmed - throughout his career. Well, he may have run out of gas at the end, in his stints with Habs rivals
Boston Bruins and
Philadelphia Flyers...
