Whether a player stays with a single team for their entire career or maybe just most of it, including their best years, some players become synonymous with a single team. The packs today highlight a few easy ones (for me) that fit this theme.
Mike Modano, Ed Belfour and Paul Coffey all fit this with the teams pictured. You could probably include Schneider and Dino as well.
Yzerman of course is always remembered as a Red Wing, like Al (to me) as being with Washington.
Then you get the opposite with Rob Brind'Amour who I never think of as a Blues player but as part of the Philly team with Lindros and company.
Which pack do you think is better here? For a core start to a team, I'd go with the first as it's hard to give up a great goalie and leadership from Modano which wouldn't be too far behind Yzerman but I think the first pack supporting team behind that is a bit better.
A. 1st pack gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteB. I remember Iafrate more with the Capitals too... although I do remember him ending his career in San Jose.
I would absolutely expect you to recall the San Jose time. :)
