Card of the Day

2004-05 ITG Franchises #A-LA

I love it when a card is given a nice background for a signature. That and that these are all ON CARD autos.

Lou Angotti was the Flyers first captain after having been claimed from the Blackhawks in the 1967 expansion draft. He returned to the Hawks a couple of years later and was on two Stanley Cup finals teams in four years before finishing his NHL playing career with the St. Louis Blues.

Parkhurst Retro Favorites New York Rangers

It's hard to believe but for the quarter century prior to 1967 the NHL consisted of only six teams, the Canadiens, Maple Leafs, Rangers, Bruins, Red Wings and Blackhawks.

In the mid-nineties, Parkhurst commemorated the 1964-65 NHL season by producing a set of "Tall Boy" cards featuring players and coaches from the "Original Six" teams. I'll be sharing my favorites in coming posts.

Here are my favorites from the New York Rangers:
