benpc21 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Nothing too big today, just a Devils red Koho arrived that I'm going to have done up with Schwab #35 and the 2003 Stanley Cup patch. He's our part time goalie coach and I'm going to have him sign it for me. Later this week is when it should get interesting. I'll give the damage report then. Update: I just tried on the jersey, and its a medium not a large as advertised, which sucks. The size tag was cutout and the auction on ebay said it was large, so I'm very bummed. Even if it did fit me (which it doesnt, all of my jerseys are large or XL) you get that problem with putting numbers on it becuase its smaller. Bummer.

benpc21 Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Jeff, I missed you post there, the Leetch jersey has the two color letters, which even when I was watching it on ebay looked weird to me, so I checked it out on nhluniforms.com and that appeared to be correct, so I went for it. I've yet to see a picture with the 3 color letters, but I'd guess its pretty sharp. To me, as a rule of thumb, if you are doing 3 color numbers, you should either do 3 color letters or 1 color. Two seems like you forgot a layer and went with it anyway. (With the exception of the old Buffalo set, but thats one in its self becuase of the large shoulder area.

benpc21 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Wow, you people need to stary picking up some stuff. Granted I've had amazing luck this past week on defunct jerseys on ebay. Yesterday I got a Chicago Wolves Maroon jersey. Today I recieved a package from Florida, which can only mean its my Florida Panthers white jersey. I open it up and there is a Florida Gators baby outfit inside. So in other words im 1 for 3 in my last jersey purchases getting what I want. This is crazy, I never had the wrong item once before, now it happend twice in 3 days! All is well, i'll get this sorted out tomorrow. Now I'm off to Seattle to see the opening show of OZZFEST with the man himself, Ozzy Osbourne! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Okay okay... I got this today: Don't mind the Transformers instructions overlapping the arm in the one picture...

benpc21 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Nice, I like how that teal picks up the light. If I had a sharks jersey, you could be it would be Marleau as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I actually like the older 2000 version of the Sharks jersey I have. The material is a lot nicer. Still, I like my new one. I got my new favorite jersey in the mail today: I'm sooo happy I found this jersey...I'd been looking for a while. 52 is a little big but I don't care.

Brilliant! Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Oh no! Don't ruin that gorgeous jersey by putting 88 on the back. Make it someone a little more original. How about Barnaby? He was still on the team back then. I always liked him. Also, I'm gonna take a guess and say that you're taller than I am(5'7"). That's pretty much the only reason the 52's are big on me.

FlyersHockey1967 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Brilliant!, that is one sharp pickup...for a Rangers jersey that is. Hey, I have the same jersey but still waiting to be customised. I'm gonna put #88 on mine. Size 52 fits me perfectly. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! As much as I hate the Rangers, I'm telling you do NOT ruin that jersey with #88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I hate the Rangers, I'm telling you do NOT ruin that jersey with #88. The 88 would look good in that font. Ken Hodge actually wore 88 back then (I remember the hockey card), not many people probably recall that, so most will immediately think Lindros. I hate the Rangers with a passion, too, but that style of Ranger jersey is one of my favorites, possibly because of the Arial-like font that they used, that looked way sharp.

I'm not much taller than you (5'8"). Why does everyone hate Lindros. He's my favorite Player actually since he was traded to the Flyers. And somehow I became an NHL fan and I still think he should have never left the Flyers. But sorry folks, I made my decision I'm putting #88 on it.

JeffB Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Why does everyone hate Lindros. It started the day he thought he could pick which team he would play for. Then, it was the buckets full of hype. Then he became a Flyer, my least favorite team of all time in any sport. Then there was the perm hairdo. Then he was named captain of Team Canada in the 1998 Olympics on a team that had Wayne Gretzky on it. Then he never delivered a championship to live up to the hype.

ZoomZoom18 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I always called him Lindork during the "I wanna go to the Maple Leafs" days of 2000-01. That whole saga about him only being willing to play for the Maple Leafs soured me on him. I always got the impression his family meddled too much too. Then I started to see what the toll of his concussions could do to him and I worried for him more. Its really too bad how his career has panned out, with all the promise he had. He doesn't bother me anymore though, I just hope his next head injury doesn't do him in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersHockey1967 Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Why does everyone hate Lindros. Well, let's see. For starters, the Flyers traded away future superstar Peter Forsberg as well as my favorite Flyer of all time, Ron Hextall for him. Then came all of the hype. Then came all of the disappointment. Then came all of the concussions. Then came his a-hole parents, then came the feud, then came his trade to the hated Rangers. So according to my calculations: Peter Forsberg = 2 Cups Eric Lindros = a million concussions, alleged affair with Brindy's wife, fight with GM Bob Clarke, trade to rival Rangers, 0 Cups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpc21 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 My awesome summer continues, as in the last few days, an white Gretzky era Blues jersey (future: Gretzky), black Coyotes (future: Isbister), brick Coyotes (future Scatchard, who got cut with in 24 hours of me winning it!), black Capitals (future: Klepis), 2001 World All Star Red (future: Hossa), and LA Kings Alt Deadmarsh. The Kings one was supposed to be the alt with the Crown crest but the one that showed up was the alt with the Shield, which I already have, so I shipped it right back and they will send me the correct one. Overall, not to shabby for 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomZoom18 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 I just added the white Red Wings jersey to my list. I know its borderline criminal as an Avalanche fan, but I've always liked that particular style of the Wings jerseys. I was actually debating on whether or not to get a personalized one, in the form of Zetterberg or Yzerman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnothaVictim Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 ...Zetterberg or Yzerman. Yzerman, probably the last player who played for one team his whole career. Crack me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafountain Posted July 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Yzerman, probably the last player who played for one team his whole career. Crack me if I'm wrong. Here is a list that I could come up with of players who have played at least 10 years and every year is with the same team/organization Joe Sakic Martin Brodeur Mike Modano Saku Koivu That was just off the top of my head, there may be others but tons of years and only play for one team is becoming extremely rare. Heres hoping some of todays young stars can pull the accomplishment (IE Kovy, Crosby, Malkin, Ovie) would love to see them all stay with one team for their entire careers.

benpc21 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 For what it's worth, I say Yzerman, thats solid choice. While on the topic, I recently read Zetterberg said he wants to play his entrie career in Detroit. So well see how that turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordStanley1893 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 He are few more I thought of: -Jarome Iginla (11 Seasons with CGY) (though drafted by Dallas He has played all of his games for Calgary) -Nicklas Lidstrom (15 Seasons with DET) -Wade Redden (10 Seasons with OTT) -Patrik Elias (11 Seasons with NJ) Here are some that are close: -Patrick Marleau (9 Seasons with SJ) -Chris Phillips (9 Seasons with OTT) -Vincent Lecavalier (8 Seasons with TB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomZoom18 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I just picked up a red authentic Wings jersey that I intend on turning into a Zetterberg myself. Good choice. I got to see him play against the Coyotes this year and he ended up having a hat trick. I'm convinced he's one of the more underrated players in the NHL today. I got his McFarlane figure last weekend. As for Yzerman, he's like the Joe Sakic type in terms of stature in my eyes. He was one of the first NHL superstars I heard of after Gretzky, Lemieux, and Roy and I've always really liked him. I was really bummed about missing him play live before he retired. I've always vowed if I get another personalized Wings jersey, he'd be among my top choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
