The Great One. He was on a LOT of hockey packs for many, many years. I haven't decided if seeing him as a Ranger or a Blue is more of a shock. Currently, as a Blue is the leader, but mainly because of the dreadful sweaters. Game used cards are a possible pulls, and goalie pads were inserts. 10 cards. Here we go...
Not a great design. The images, as always, are great selections by the UD team. The clunky bar at the bottom, with the impossible to read bronze foil does nothing to make this set nice to look at. And the whole last name/first name deal is garbage. Standard UD logo stamped in a top corner.
I miss CCM as the outfitter of the NHL. None of that BS Coolbase Reebok crap that gave us the Bettman stripes. That is not to say the Sharks had good looking uniforms back in the day. Woof!
"Hi - we're the LA Kings. After we traded away Gretzky, we are trying to find ourselves again. How do you like purple?"
"No? What if we switched the colors on the template and changed up the logo a bit?" Note the kid in the background in the Avs sweater. I am certain this is a game in Denver, so the old days when the teams wore white at home.
"We traded away the greatest hockey player ever too. Let's mess around with a classic sweater...."
I'm not sure the insert rate of these Starquest. The embossed numbers are kind of cool. But the design is quite busy with them.
I got two things about this card. One, I will avoid my Devils green rant. And two - screw Scott Stevens.
What ever happened to Anson Carter? He really became a journeyman after the 2000 season.
I get a Red Wing in every pack I open.
Not too bad at the end of the pack. And the backs...
Different photo and full career stats - Woo-hoo!!! Emma Stone approves!
