Saturday night highlights

A few great games in the NHL tonight. A few of the highlights, Toronto is 2-0 for the first time in.... in.... well, Toronto has never been 2-0. Montreal came back and scored twice in the last 90 seconds to beat Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh 3-2. New building, old building, same result.

But the best of the best, was in Vancouver. The Canucks (and Sabres) are celebrating their 40th season in the NHL. For Vancouver's home opener against Los Angeles, the throwback uni's came out. And they were glorious. Look for a post on that in the next day or so, as soon as I can score some pics from the game.

Finally, a buddy of mine and I were talking about hockey, and he asked what the P.K. stood for in P.K. Subban.

I had no idea, so I looked it up.

Yeah. P.K. it is. Good call.

(as you may be able to tell, I still have no Subban cards, so I had to make another one...)

I've had enough...

For those of you have been reading my box / pack breaks over on Waxaholic, you know I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to pull a rookie card of P.K. Subban. I bought an entire box. No joy. I've bought half a box in loose packs... nope. My wife has brought home 3 rack packs from Wally World. Less than zero. So I decided I've spent enough money for now, I'll just make my own.

A 1971/72 OPC P.K. Subban.

I'm not quite sure how someone with, shall we say, that deep of tan, would have been recieved in Montreal, and the NHL in 1971, but all I know is I haven't seen anyone carry the puck up ice that well since Guy Lapointe. So he's on my team.

And if anyone has managed to pull a Subban, could you throw him my way? Gracias.
