Despite showing off a couple cards following their victory in the OHL Finals, I still had a few Rangers alumni cards which I hadn't appeared yet. As usual, I blame incompetence on my part. With the Memorial Cup final tonight, it is the ideal time to show them off.
It isn't just the fact these two cards come from my beloved 13-14 Rookie Anthology that has me leading with these two. Frank Corrado is in Kelowna for the Memorial Cup. He's on the TSN broadcast team for the tourney, doing the between-the-benches duty.
Kubalik's OHL career was pretty similar to Corrado's. He started off with the Sudbury Wolves (and was his teammate there for a part-season) before being traded to the Rangers for a part season to end their junior career. He has returned to Europe to play after stints in Chicago, Detroit and Ottawa.
It might not be an exact colour-match parallel, but this Yellow Taxi parallel is close enough to the gold color in the Ducks logo for me to call it such. Gibson was traded from the Ducks this past season for 2/14 baby Petr Mrazek and a couple draft picks and he was almost enough to will the Red Wings into the playoffs.
So, as I await the puck drop, there you have it!
