Its the result I wanted but not the one I expected, the Devils' 8 game win streak was looking a formidable, who knew the Flyers would turn in such a good performance.

It sounds like you and dauls are from the same neck of the woods. Though it sounds like you are both on opposite spectrums with regards to who you root for in the NHL.

:D

JEN:

His play was head-on, and he changed his style after one of his latter concussions. It was a good plan, like AI for the 76ers, and McNabb for The Iggles. They all got to the final game or series, while The Phillies got there twice in a row, won one, and there was no one marquee player. It's a plan with most plans not finishing first, which would be 4 teams out of 122 teams or a 3.3% chance.

That someone was me. Funny to see the early hockey card, but why do they always choose the "look who we've just signed" picture? They look daft wearing a shirt and tie under the team jersey.

I suppose it's a step up from a mugshot photo being used. Has a mugshot ever been used on a sports card? That would have to make it a collectable.

Back in the late 80s and early 90s rookie cards was the big thing and all the card companies were trying to be the first to release the first card so most of the time they used photos from draft day as preseason was months away, On a side note the 92 topps hockey card set was supposed to be 528 cards and the Lindros card is number 529 and was not orinigaly part of the set and was a last minute addtion to the set and back in 92 it was a $25 card at card shows in the NEW JERSEY/SOUTH PHILLIE area

And today your Eric Lindros 1992 topps hockey card (mint condition I expect) is worth?

What card is your prized possession?

I've got an Upper Deck John Olerud rookie card. He was a Blue Jays first baseman(baseball for anyone that doesn't follow the sport).

Here are the scores for the November 18th games.

1. Florida smoked Buffalo 6-2. I will admit that I am quite surprised at this score. Normally Buffalo is a good defensive team, and to give up 6 goals to Florida is a shocker.

2. Dallas beat Detroit 3-1. It looks like Detroit got dragged back down to reality after their recent hot streak.

3. Phoenix beat Minnesota 3-2. Good. Bryzgalov is in my pool! Yay!

4. Edmonton beat Colorado 6-4. Colorado has been really shaky that past few games. Is this a sign of things to come? It also looks like they've lost Ryan Smyth for a month due to injury. Not a good thing for them.

(And saving the best for last! Well, for this night anyhow.

)

5. Philadelphia beat LA 3-2. Good game, and they had their backup in. Emery has logged a lot of time this year, and he deserved a break. Also, congratulations on 1000 posts Jennifer!
