Chris Chelios In Person at the Sportcard Expo

 Chris Chelios was an amazing defenceman for the Habs back in the 80s.  He won a cup with them in 1986, which is my first time following a team through the entire playoffs to the cup.  The Habs traded him for Denis Savard in 1990 and at the time, I was not really happy about that.  Now Denis was part of the 1993 cup winners as well, so I guess that worked out. He went on to win another 2 cups with the Red Wings as part of his Hall of Fame career.  He is currently 64 years old, but I tell you, he looks in better shape than most 40 year olds.  I like where he put the signature as he knew the figure would be in the way of the centre.  Its an awesome piece to add to my collection to say the least.

I received a personal note from the captain along with the cards.   He is kind of one of those heart and soul type players.  Always willing to do whatever it takes for a win.  He had 3 games with the Capitals a few years ago and has been with the B-Sens for 3 seasons.  I think the O-Sens could use that grit up there.  I am hoping he stays with the organization as I go to lots of games.  Its always nice to add autos of the teams that I follow closely.

His point totals in year 1 with the Flames were pretty good with 50.  32 and 29 in the subsequent years is what he has done since.  The Flames in general, do have a hard time scoring.  I liked his play in Jersey but I think he was able to be more free and creative.

39 days returned from Adam Lowry.  He has had a very solid career but like many Jets players this year, had a down season.  I am pumped to add the Team Canada card to my collection.  I may have to debate getting these signed as a new project.

Cole had some injuries this year and down numbers from last season.  32 points in just 68 games played.  The Jets had a very rough season but were coming on strong and had a good push for a playoff spot at the end.  I do not think its worth blowing up the team and rebuilding, but who knows what they will do.
