#37 All Time..... Brad May

Brad May played with seven teams over 18 seasons in the NHL. That's 1041 games played to you and me.

1990/91 Score #427

 1990-91 Upper Deck $455

1041 games played
127 goals
161 assists
288 points
2248 PIMs (#37 all time)

Brad currently is a tv talking head for the Buffalo Sabres, and Sportsnet in Canada when they get desperate.
Brad may be best known as the player that allegedly put the bounty on Steve Moore that allegedly led to the Todd Bertuzzi incident.

Brad won the Stanley Cup while with Anaheim in 2007.





but then there is always this......................





Now some of the more keen readers may have noticed that there was not one, but two cards posted up top. A Score portrait shot with the great smile and tremendous mullet, and an Upper Deck card with May busting down the ice for Team Canada sans helmet on his way to a gold medal at the 1990 World Junior Championships.

We're going to run into this from time to time in our journey. And this is where you get to chime in your two cents. (and I find out who actually reads to the bottom)
We're going to vote.
Which card should make it into my Top 50 of All Time binder?
Score? or Upper Deck?

The voting thingie is on the right sidebar near the top. Sound off in the comments below to try and sway others to your side.

#19 All Time.... Gary Roberts

Yes. Gary Roberts. Not exactly known as a goon. Or even a tough guy. But I guess if you last 21 seasons with six teams, your stats start to add up.

1989-90 OPC #202

1224 games played
438 goals
472 assists
910 points
2560 PIMS (19th all time)

Gary is now known as the go to guy for NHL fitness training. Many of the league's best study under him in the offseason to maintain or better their fitness levels. Apparently dropping the gloves is NOT part of it.

Although maybe it should be.

#35 All Time... Dave "The Hammer" Schultz

the beginning of a new project for me starts now. I'm going to collect the rookie cards from the top 50 All Time NHL Penalty Minute Leaders. And if that ain't enough, I'm going for an auto and a relic card from each of them as well.
The autographs should be easy enough I think. The relic cards just may not be possible. I'll find out when I build my 'official' checklist.

But let's start with arguably the most famous of them all. Most people just know him as "The Hammer".


1973-74 OPC #166

Hard to believe but Mr. Schultz is only #35 on the list with 2294 PIMs.

But that is in only 535 games played. He also tallied 79 goals and 121 assists for 200 points.
