This week we travel back… back to the early 1990s when the NHL grew to include the Ottawa Senators and the Tampa Bay Lightning. What is it about expansion teams that lend themselves to some really horrible gimmick cards?

The space motif doesn’t end there.

At least it makes sens in this case. I mean, they were the North STARS after all. What’s with the random planet, though?

Don’t worry if it’s hard to recognize the legend in the card above. The artist’s rendition of Patrick Roy is… unusual to say the very least.

We end this week on a two card switcheroo!

Your eyes do not deceive you. The card says Peter Stastny and has the number 29 on it. The gentleman on the card is actually wearing the number 17 and is named Patrik Sundstrom.

Just to be fair…

Stastny was put on Sundstrom’s card.

Happy Wednesday!
