ALL MARK MESSIER CARDS CAN GO STRAIGHT TO THE BIKE SPOKES!
There, I feel better.
Especially after what I witnessed at Traders Night a couple days ago.
I always get a little excited at any new product releases that include Trevor Linden. Even more so when the company doesn't go gangbusters with insane parallel numbers.
2011/12 Panini Crown Royale is just that. A nice, reasonable amount of cards to chase with a couple ultra-sharp pieces of cardboard to drool over.
So you can understand that I was excited to see any sort of Canucks jersey come from the numerous packs being ripped throughout the night.
That was until my eyes caught this atrocity.

#103 Mark Messier
#103 Mark Messier
To put it bluntly - having 'Mark Messier' and 'Vancouver Canucks' on the same card is just a huge NO.
I don't care if you can't really see the jersey logo, I know it's there. And I hate him for it.
And that goes for you too Mike Keenan.
Put him as an Oiler, put him as a Ranger. And as much as I loathe it, put him with the Stanley Cup in 1994. But you do not - I repeat - NOT put him in a Canucks jersey.
Nothing else needs to be said.
PPPPPFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
TO THE BIKE SPOKES!!!!!!!!!!!!
I sense much pain......His Vancouver stop was the beginning of 7 straight seasons without Moose making the playoffs. In fact, he never made the playoffs again for the rest of his career!
ReplyDeleteIs he the most hated of former Canucks?
I don't even like referring to him as a 'former Canuck'.
DeleteMost hated? Most definitely.
Yes...now understand my pain from the Parkhurst box break!!!!
ReplyDeletesooooo... can I put you down for tickets when they retire his number?
ReplyDeleteDude....not funny.
DeleteI had NO idea there was this much Messier hate in Vancouver....I know Devils fans hate him too, maybe we can unite and get him tossed from the Hall of Fame...I heard rumours before he was into cocaine, maybe we can get those going again!
ReplyDeleteLol...do it! I can't stand Messier either, he can take his stupid 'leadership' award and shove it up his ass. Totally understand why Canuck fans hate him. Try being a hardcore Linden fan *and* a longtime Devils season ticket holder. Yup. #11 is public enemy #1 in my house, too.
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeletei love your blog, i read it whenever i can. keep up the good job.
i thought this might be helpful to you, i recently spotted someone looking for messier cards and thought you could use this opportunity to change the ones you have to something else.
