Today, it is the Kitchener Rangers content in my COMC to-be-posted box.
The start of the season has definitely been up-and-down. They got slammed in 12-2 loss on opening weekend, but as I write this, they're leading their division. As for everybody in the post so far, none of them are still on the team. Such is the nature of the CHL.At least I don't really have to worry about that when getting NHL-level cards of alumni.Shininess!
An autograph is up next. Mark spent a couple years with Kitchener, before starting a pro career with stops in New Jersey, Edmonton and Toronto. He's now working for the Leafs as their Director of Culture and Inclusion.
Finally, a card that I'd wanted for a bit after seeing it on Puck Junk. Yeah, the facial expression is really goofy, but here, the real lowlight is the cityscape in the background. Why would a fan of that type of background call that a lowlight? Because, as the PJ article points out - that is Charlotte in the background, and not the actual home city for the Hurricanes, Raleigh.At least they got the city factoid on the back correct by featuring a hurricane that hit the Carolinas. There you have it!
Lowlight indeed. I just added one of those relics to my San Jose collection. I would have been disappointed had they shown cityscape of another city... but thankfully they didn't.
