No, I don't think the Pens can be considered underdogs. It just so happens The Underdog Card Collector sent me some Penguins.
Fleury got Wally Pip'd this postseason. It is a shame but you can't argue with Matt Murray's results.
Man, I love this Paul Coffey card.
It feels like these guys should be 40 years old, but Malkin is 29 and Crosby is 28. That is mind boggling.
In the cardboard world goalies may have the best cards. So many cool action shots plus they have colorful gear.
More Crosby goodness. One of these years I need to try and get an auto. That will be an expensive purchase.
Kris Letang is probably the forgotten star of the Pens. Always blessed with great talent, but injuries have slowed him over the years. He finally played most of this year and had a great season.
Underdog even threw in a little baseball.
Some key figures of the current Pirates. Nice to see Polanco having a breakout year and Cervelli get a long term extension.
Some random Buccos round things out. Always nice to get a Kang card.
Thanks for the cards Underdog. I'll try and hit you back as soon as possible.
Thanks for reading!
Let's be honest - Fluery tends to crap the bed every post season. I think he just gets tired.
ReplyDeleteWith Murray being a stand out, maybe the Pens can have a nice 1-2 punch and alternate goalies for the next season and give Fluery a few extra games off.
If the Pens do pull it out it will be interesting to see what they do with Fleury. He is about a 5.5 million cap hit next year and is signed for a few more years. I'm guessing that would make him tradeable if they think Murray can handle the load. It will be a fun offseason.
DeleteIt pains me to see Penguins cards right now. Congratulations on tonight's win.
ReplyDeleteThanks. The Pens have been been a force since January 1.
