So where were we? Oh yeah. Locked out, all September preseason games cancelled, and NHLers headed to Europe en masse. If the lockout is long enough to allow for some games to be played abroad, hopefully we get some cards out of this.

That is.. a lot of yellow, Joe Thornton. Also, he appears to be smothering a goalie. Totally normal.

Were I Rick Wamsley, I would be really pissed that someone’s butt made its way onto my card.

Suddenly “The Guardian Project” seems tame and The Great One looks like a villain from Disney on Ice.

Another in the series of “A Day In The NHL” cards featuring Trevor Linden. Apparently part of his day in the mid 1990s involved sitting on the beach and staring off into the distance.

Um, sure.
