So with the NHL in a lock-out, with no end in sight, how are you guys filling the void of no NHL??
Like are you following a different sport instead??
Decided to follow a different Hockey league, like the AHL, CHL or KHL??
Maybe do something that doesn't involve sports??
How is this gonna...
My boy keeps ripping "poop" up on the diamond!!!!

A couple days away from the Stanley Cup Finals beginning so i thought i would throw this poll up there now.
In My Opinion, for individual achivements, the Conn Smythe Trophy is the single best award/honor a player can win.
Hart Trophies are nice, but being the MVP of the playoffs is a ton...
Thought this was a pretty cool article on SI.com and figured others would be interested in reading.
The list is very updated as well. Includes the Clemente RC that sold for $432, 000 last week as well!
Enjoy...
Basketball card yes, but i believe this story/scam is so big that it needs to be on the front page for the safety/awareness of our membership.
The link to the PSA thread on this is below and a very interesting read, but the jest of this story (scam) goes like this....
Buyer see's a good deal...
Just saw this posted on NFL.com and thought you guys might be interested in seeing and reading.

This thread is inspired from a Baseball boards thread called "Great cards I have seen over the years and kept pictures of - Any cards you guys kept pics of?"
I thought we could keep a thread here on the Hockey boards that is similar to that one. Post pics of amazing or jaw-dropping Hockey cards...
The Vezina Trophy is awarded annually to the National Hockey League's goaltender who is "adjudged to be the best at this position".[1] At the end of each season, the thirty NHL general managers vote to determine the winner. It is named in honour of Georges Vezina, goaltender of the Montreal...
Well ive busted somewhere around 15 of these UD series 2 tins in the last month or so. Every time i buy one im hoping to pull the Leland Irving Young Gun RC or better yet i have been hoping to pull the Leland Irving Young Gun Canvas RC. The Young Gun Canvas RC's are 1 in 48 packs and with their...
I think even Ray Charles can see this is an FACSIMILE AUTOGRAPH:benson:::facepalm::
Seriously, how the heck does this happen??? (I know its a Hockey card but its just for the discussion as ive seen this happen before in all sports)
Im pretty sure even Ray Charles could see this is a FACSIMILE AUTOGRAPH:benson::benson:

Ran to Wal-Mart and grabbed another Series 2 Tin during 2nd intermission of Kings/Nucks game, just for the hell of it.
Nothing huge, but i did get Gabriel Landeskog Victory RC and Nugen-Hopkins rookie game used. Pulled a bunch of other rookies and inserts but those other two were my favorite...
that EDMONTON wins the draft lottery tonight and gets to draft Nail Yakupov!!!!! :D
Yakupov playing with Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle and Ryan Nugent Hopkins would be amazing!!
Draft lottery is live on TSN.ca at 6pm Mountain or 8pm Eastern. (Not sure if any US networks are picking it up)...
.....from any sport, from a product that was only distributed in Wax Packs, Cellos, Rack Packs etc. so most pre-war cards won't fit this bill as many came in cigarette packs.
Once this card is pulled, it becomes a PC card so keep that in mind that you can not sell it. For this thread 51 Bowman...
put in a card that had a sell value of $20-$25 bucks?
Just want to see if there would be any interest in this.
If you are interested just reply to this thread and say "Im in"
Just got one of these NEW Demsters Sidney Crosby cards :D
Mine is card number 6 out of a 9 card set. Im not 100% sure, but i have a feeling these are available only in Canada. Also, i imagine many of these are gonna be thrown in the garbage or destroyed by kids playing with them or just ruined...
As most know Reebok is out for hats and New Era is in.
This is what the new draft hats will look like.
Not the greatest design, but not the worst either. I hope New Era steps it up though as they will be making all NFL hats here on out. I was generally happy with the job Reebok did with NFL...
