These are not really related, but Hall-of-Fame
defenseman Denny Potvin was appearing at the Blades game
this weekend as a special guest, and also ran a hockey
clinic for the spirits, mites and squirts. My BF coachs
Mites, so I was kind of looking around for things for
both of us to get signed when I ran across the Panini
set in the back of my closet. Sort of an usual item,
but Brad was in the 1992-93 set, so I pulled the
card/sticker and scanned it. Probably not something you'll
find at your local card shop, but if you run across
one, really not a bad set to have. (It's in the
default ablum, along with a couple of other things I
threw in!)<br><br>(As for Denny, I finally settled on
SI's Greatest Teams of All Time book, which was really
all I could find on short notice.)<br><br>After the
game, we were hanging out in the parking lot and he had
his card album w/him so I was looking through it and
I found the Upper Deck Vinatage card there. He
didn't know to turn it over because it didn't have a
Sabre logo on it, or so he claims. I said OOOooo can I
have this and he said sure, don't know who the dude is
anyway. <br><br>Obviously the look he got from me told
him that was the wrong thing to say, but before he
could backtrack I said " That's my buddy! That's my
boy!" He laughed and said "What about poor Pete? I
though he was your boy?" So I said, okay, Pete's my boy.
THIS is my MAN! He gave me a real blank look until I
said "Carrot Cake Man" at which point he started
laughing.<br><br>Well at least now he has a face to put to the Carrot
Cake tale.
