Oct 5--Dean Prentice

Dean Prentice

Dean did not make the cut this time. I thought I would rather go with a rather Dynamic Duo.

The match up is

Super Mario vs. St. Patrick

Now Sal over at http://puckjunk.blogspot.com/ is celebrating his 4th anniversary and showed his Topps rookie cards of these two. So I'm going to bring you

What is there to say. With  my other posts, I have included information as some of the players were not well known or forgotten about. Just a way of keeping the history of the game alive. For the younger (than me) fans, these are the men who made the NHL the game it is today.So if you read my posts and learn something about players back in the day, my job feels complete. I think nothing more needs to be said here, so we'll let your eyes feast on these.

Received these black sharpie signed cards IP. This was at the 1987 Canada Cup in Hamilton.

Received this black sharpie postcard TTM.

This was the form letter sent with the postcard from 2007.  I sent an e-mail to him through the Quebec Remparts. I have seen others requested the same way and they look different so I guess they're real.

Enjoy.
