Jean Pronovost
Cards Sent: August 7th, 2009
Received: September 3rd, 2009
Jean began his NHL career in 1968 with the Penguins and went on to play till 1982 with the Atlanta Flames and Washington Capitals. Pronovost was the first player in Penguins franchise history to hit the 100 point mark. I love the helmet in the 79-80 card as it clearly says Stan Mikita II on the front.

Steve Thomas
Cards Sent: August 24th, 2009
Received: September 2nd, 2009
Steve Thomas has played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Chicago Blackhawks, New York Islanders, New Jersey Devils, Anaheim Mighty Ducks and Detroit Red Wings over the course of 20 seasons. Some of the first games I ever saw on TV revolved around Steve Thomas and the New York Islanders when he used to kill it. He's one of those solid all-around players that really develops a team into a team with real grit and backbone.
Basil McRae
Cards Sent: August 24th, 2009
Received: September 2nd, 2009
Breaking through the 1980 entry draft with the Quebec Nordiques, Basil McRae has also played with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Detroit Red Wings, Minnesota North Stars, Tampa Bay Lightning, St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks. I distinctly remember Basil from the movie The Mighty Ducks, where him and North Stars teammate Mike Modano are big up'ing Gordon Bombay to his District 5 team. McRae is now a scout with the St. Louis Blues and part-owner of the OHL's London Knights.
"Terrible" Ted Lindsay
Cards Sent: July 21st, 2009
Received: September 2nd, 2009
Robert Blake Theodore Lindsay. The man, the myth, the legend. An Art Ross trophy winner, four-time Stanley Cup champion and Hockey Hall of Famer, Terrible Ted was the pinnacle peak of hockey excellence in the day. Ted created the NHLPA to combat the NHL's unfair iron rule of pick pocketing their own players. Ted played for Detroit before being traded by Chicago where he would retire. When Sid Abel became coach of the Red Wings in 1964, he would call on Ted to make a comeback where Ted leaped out of retirement and played one final season with Detroit. Mr. Lindsay also started the now famous routine of skating around the ice with the Stanley Cup.
