Pack break 1991-92 UD Hockey

I just opened this pack of 1991-92 UD Hockey:
I just reread this and I'd apologize to Night Owl for the typos but I don't think he reads hockey posts anyway so I'm leaving them.

Goaltenders:
Not bad pulling a current and future Hall of Famer.


Centers:
Steen's #25 jersey was retired by the Jets in 1994.  His was the second in franchise history after Bobby Hull.

One of many hockey playing Miller's Kip is the only man to play for the NY Islanders during three separate stints.
Hall of Famer and Blackhawks great Denis with the team that got him his on Cup win as a player.  Who doesn't look good in a Hab's jersey?

Left Wing:

Ryan, the son of HOFer Darryl Sittler, never made it to the NHL due to a series of injuries.

Defense:

Did UD think this guy was so good he deserved two cards?  Are there any other players in this set so honored?
Rob was the Kings captain from 1996 to 2001.  He won the Stanley Cup with the Avalanche in 2001.

"Rico" is the only defenceman in NHL history to score a ha ttrick in a Stanley Cup Finals game (6/3/93).
Cullimore played in 36 games for the Blackhawks last season but is now playing in Germany

Cards from My Wife -- Second Pack

A couple of weeks ago my wife came home with two packs of cards for me.  The first was this.

The second was a pack of 2011 Allen & Ginter's.  That takes my total up to 6 cards.


Best ballplayer in the pack.  Not hard to choose since there are only two.

Best insert card.
 Best non-baseball player card on several levels-- The guy you never heard of is named "Guy" -- He's wearing eye black  (that's sponsored) to play beanbag toss -- Beanbag toss is now called "cornhole" -- Cornhole is a sport -- It can't help but remind you of Beavis and his alter ego "Cornholio" "I am the great Cornholio.  I need TP for my bunghole!"
I don't really care.
 I don't really care but the back says he has a "charming sense of humor".  Apparently the David Niven of Ping Pong.
 Could I have gotten a worse mini?

Random Pack Break -- 1993 Pacific Ryan Express

In case you missed it:

I just opened this pack of 1993 Pacific Ryan Express cards:

 I personally like these cards.  If you're a Nolan Ryan fan or just an admirer (and who isn't) how can you not?  They remind me of this much smaller set of Al Kaline cards from 10 years earlier.  At 5 cents a card were these a bargain in 1993 or were they on par with other issues?

Random Pack break -- 2005 Fleer Ultra

I just opened this pack of 2005 Fleer Ultra:









These are really nice cards.  As opposed to some of the following years the names on the front are easier to read.  I like the borderless look.  The backs are well done with both a head shot and the team logo.  This would have been a really great pack if I were a Yankees fan.  The JD Drew is a parallel that is 1:3 packs.
