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?

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 from last night's games.

1. Carolina beat Toronto 6-5 in the shootout. Heck, it was the shootout so I knew they were going to lose. Toronto had a 3-0 lead at one point and they couldn't hold it? Arghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

2. Boston beat Atlanta 4-3 in the shootout. Another shootout. Bleh!

3. Ottawa beat Pittsburgh 6-2. Pittsburgh has been giving up a lot of goals lately!

4. St. Louis beat Phoenix 3-2. Darn it! I need points!

5. Nashville beat New Jersey 3-2 in the shootout. I was surprised about that! Nashville has been playing well lately, so I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised. The shootout still sucks, though.

6. Columbus beat Dallas 4-1. Lots of PP goals in that one. Purplehead didn't like that final too much I would imagine.

7. Chicago kicked Calgary's ass 7-1! What more needs to be said?

8. Anaheim beat Tampa Bay 4-3. With Philadelphia not playing last night, this at least gave Jennifer something to cheer about(well, that and her Twiki score!).

*tiptoes around so as not to anger Jen due to Philly losing last night*

Here are the scores from last night's games.

1. Montreal beat Washington 3-2. Two people will be particularly happy about that score. Ila for Montreal winning and Jennifer for Washington losing.

2. Boston beat Buffalo 2-1 in overtime. Rask was in net(didn't he used to belong to the Leafs? Too bad we don't have him still as he is pretty good) for the third straight game. It looks like Thomas may be nursing an injury.

3. Florida beat Detroit 2-1 in (you guessed it) overtime. After the mini-streak that Detroit had where they were scoring goals like mad, they are now struggling to score goals(of course, having goals that should have counted get taken away doesn't help).

4. Minnesota beat the Islanders 3-2. Havlat did not play due to a "lower body injury". Wow. Big surprise there. NOT!

5. Vancouver beat Colorado 5-2. Colorado had a 2-0 lead after the first period, but they could not hold on. They are not playing well right now.

6. *whispers vewy, vewy qwuietly* Shhhhhh! I'm hunting wabbits...er, I mean San Jose beat Philadelphia 6-3. Too much firepower for Philly to handle this night, I guess. Thornton had 4 assists and Heatley had a hat-trick.

Please don't punish me for posting the bad news Going-For-My-Jugular Jen!

Yep, I'm happy.

It looks like Jen and I have more in common than just this result.

I really hate shootouts. I prefer Philadelphia over both New Jersey and Pittsburgh and I really don't like Washington at all. Go Philadelphia (just don't beat Montreal).
