If I had to pick three moments it would be these:

1. Mike Richards gets traded to LA

2. Brad Richards signs with New York

3. A special tribute card for all the NHLers and former NHLers that passed away this offseason.

Obviously there are moments like the Stanley Cup, and the 1st overall pick that are obvious inclusions but I think that #3 would be a very nice touch if it was included.

I suggested this one on Twitter a couple weeks ago and will do it again here – Carey Price Records 100th Career Win!

1. Boston beats Vancouver for the cup
2. Special moments from the NHL players that passed away this summer
3. Kesler during the Vancouver vs Nashville series
These are 3 things I think would be great for the set

In addition to that one, here are some others….

1. Carey Price Records 100th Career Win!
2. Teemu Selanne Returns to Winnipeg
3. Sidney Crosby Returns!

1. I would do a sophomore set with memorable first goals, cause there was really amazing goals.

2. All the award winners.

3. Goalie saves, they dont get much attention anymore.

Tonelli to Nystrom. Islanders Win The Stanley Cup!

Bossy s 50th Goal

Biography of a post-season, one card for each series in the playoffs, on the back of the cards are the scores from each of the games in the series.

1. Remembrance of the NHL players who passed away over the summer months. I wouldn’t focus on the why, but rather celebrate their incredible careers.

2. Chris Drury retiring. He’s won the Calder Trophy & the Stanley Cup. Again I would celebrate his remarkable career.

3. Brendan Shanahan becomes NHL’s VP of Hockey & Business Development. Shanahan was a fan favorite and is both interesting and exciting to see him continue his career within the NHL organization.

These three choices highlight what the lives of players on and off the ice. The off season is a holistic time where players become better known for aspects other than their statistics. I also feel that these three would be a departure from highlighting achievements in statistics and add depth to the Biography of a Season card set.

thanks!

#1 Rick Rypien,#2 Derek Boogaard,#3 Tom Cavanagh,and if you can make a checklist dedicated to those lost in the terrible plane crash.

Atlanta has their hockey club stolen by Gary Bettman

1- Game Seven Classic : Tampa Bay vs Boston : Eastern Conference Finals
2- Bergeron scores 2 goals to lead Boston to a 4-0 win in Game 7
3- Mark Reechi retires after 22 seasosn and one last Stanley Cup
4- Ian Lapperière retire with winning the Bill Masterton Trophy
5- Corey Perry takes home the Hart
6- Lidstrom is one step away from Orr
7- Mark Schiefele becomes the first pick of the new Jets.
8- Flyers make blockbuster deals to sign Bryzgalov
9- Derek Boogaard scores his last goal
10 – Rypien and Belak passes away

I think that in memoriam cards of Demitra , Rachunek , Liv , McCrimmon , Karpotsev , Salei , Vasicek , Skrastins ,Vasyunov and Korolev should be put in 2011-12 Upper Deck Serie 1.

1. T.J. Oshie score insane goal from his knees on 4/9/11
2. The 50,000th NHL Game was played on 11/20/10
3. Brett Hull’s numbered retired in St. Louis

the return of the jets an obvious one.

how about the russian plane disaster card remembering fallen heroes.

or the three enforcers

1. Alex Pietrangelo scoring from centre ice against the LA Kings.

2. Ryan-Nugent Hopkins being selected as the first overall pick in the draft.

3. Tim Thomas fulfilling his Cinderella story by winning the Stanley Cup and the Conne Smythe trophy.

Thanks for the contest UD!

My three moments that I think would be nice to see included in the Biography of a Season set would be:

1. “39 Years In The Making”
The Boston Bruins win the Stanley Cup when they beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-0 in the seventh and deciding game of the National Hockey League championship ending their 39 year Cupless drought.

2. “Loading Up On Young Guns”
The Edmonton Oilers continue their rebuilding process and for the second consecutive year hold the number one draft spot at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, selecting Ryan Nugent-Hopkins from the Red Deer Rebels of the WHL.

3. “Jagr Watch”
Jaromir Jagr, seeking a return to the NHL after three seasons in Russia’s KHL finally ends all speculations on where he would continue his career on July 1, 2011 by signing a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers.

I Think a couple of moments that should be mentioned in the set are:

1. Taylor Hall going #1 overall
2. Boston beating Montreal in the playoffs
3. Tim Thomas being a beast (game in particular against Toronto, lost in OT, that game were “boo”shamin took that big shot and he dove across the crease to glove it)

those are just a few 🙂

1. Boston winning the cup.
2. All of the NHL players that passed away.
3. When the stanley cup fell in Michael Ryders home Province.
I think these would be good for the set.

1. Ol’ Reliable – Jarome Iginla nets 30 goals for the 10th straight season.

2. Grandpa Duck – 40-year-old Teemu Selanne finishes 8th in league scoring with 80 points.

3. First Impression – Jordan Eberle wows the crowd with a highlight reel goal in his first game with the Oilers.

1. Nathan Horton waving a towel over his head to rev ip the crowd after being inured in the finals.

2. Tim Thomas wins Conn Smythe.

3. Winnipeg reveals team name at the entry draft.

Those are my thoughts…I think the image of Horton waving the towel and the look on his face would make for a pretty sweet card.

So many options, here are a few:

1. Playoffs: Kesler rules.
2. Playoff Finals: Luongo gets canucks out to fast start
3. Playoff Finals: Marchand’s influence on the series
4. Playoff Finals: Thomas wins in the end
5. Winnipeg welcomes back the NHL
6. The unfathomable plane crash
7. Philadelphia retooling…maybe Jagr pictured
8. Mike Richards…King of LA
9. They love NY: three franchise players signed in the NY teams
9a. Brad Richards- New York Rangers
9b. John Tavares- New York Islanders
9c. Tyler Myers- Buffalo Sabres
10. Jeff Carter to Columbus (“Carter and Nash”)
11. Jeff Skinner and the All-Star game
12. Sabres owner Terry Pagula delivers season tickets

It’s going to be a great season!

Skinner wins ROY, RNH drafted first , and tribute to those who passed away

My three moments would be these…
1)Boston beats Montreal in 7 games in overtime to take the series both teams finished with 17 goals…this in my opinion was the best matched series that could have swung either way
2)Lidstrom takes the Norris at 41 an incredible feat…
3)A special card Sept,7th,2011 tragic plane crash that took 43 lives and ex NHLers…a sad sad day

Mine would be

1. A special card remembering for those who passed on this offseason
2. Bostons surprising run for the cup and a couple focus around Tim Thomas who was beyond brilliant.
3. Ducks’ Selanne back for 19th NHL season
4. Winnipeg Jets return!
5. Upper Deck continues greatness with their biography of a season (alright…that one was just for you guys :))

1. Return of the Winnipeg Jets

2. Lidstrom picks up 7th Norris Trophy in 10 years.

3. Ryan Nugent Hopkins drafted first overall.

All big moments in the league.

1.Tim Thomas sets new single-season NHL record for save percentage

2.The Bruins win their first NHL title since 1972

3.Bruins Set Stanley Cup Finals Record With Fastest Four Goals

1. Tim Thomas leading the Bruins to the Cup with his picture holding the cup
2. I would either a card or 3 separate cards remembering Boogie, Belak, and Rypien. Then put a positive message saying if you need help call this line or visit these sites. Make it educational and talk about each player
2. Do a tribute card with the team picture of Lokomotiv or feature any of those players from Lokomotiv. Probably the worst hockey tragedy that has happened to date.

1. Boston’s Cup Win
2. Thomas Conn Smythe/Vezina
3. Skinner Calder
4. Perry Hart
5. Dry Island aka Richards/Kings and Carter/Jackets
6. J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets
7. RNH 1st overall
8. Brad Richards reunited with Tortalini
9. Jagr’s Philly debut. The minute he steps on the ice he becomes the NHL’s active scoring leader as well.
10. Flyers 11-12 Stanley Cup win….may as well get the printer started now.

Locomotiv Memorial. I think since then, there’s been no rivalry gibberish of NHL vs KHL and hopefully it will leave a lasting reminder that we all love hockey and that pretty much makes us the same.
Concussion/Depression Awareness. Let’s address the enforcer deaths head on. Beating around the bush is what leads these poor souls to anguish on their own. Maybe interview some enforcers and see what they have to say- could be quite compelling.
Skinner Mania – on a much lighter note, the ROY became a sensation at the All Star game (I have photos of the little girls going ga-ga over him if you need any)

Here are my favourite moments so far!

1) A tribute to all who have passed away this summer.

2)Return of the Winnipeg Jets Franchise!

3)Boston Wins Stanley Cup in 7 Games over Vancouver

1. Forsberg Returning and Retiring
2. Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Tribute.
3. Carter and Richards traded from Philly.
4. Jagr rejoins NHL with Philly.
5. Atlanta moves, Jets are back!

Let’s see…

1. Jeff Skinner has great season for the Canes taking the Rookie of the Year.

2. Someone has to have a high res photo of Tim Thomas making that diving stick save for his performance in the playoffs.

3. And a picture of the three drafted Oilers stars that showed great promise this past season. (Hall, Eberle, Paajarvi)

I think this hockey set should have cards featuring a picture of the frontside of a retired jersey on the front of the card and the backside of the retired jersey on the back of the card. If possible they could come with game used or auto variations.

Jets are back.
Forsberg number goes to the rafters. – 2 time Stanley Cup Champion.
Tim Thomas year. Bruins win Cup.

1)Finnish Flash Strikes again
Teemu Selanne returns for another year

2)Will 40 Years of Tears End
The Vancouver Canucks come so close to their first Stanley Cup.Will 2011-12 be the year where the weeping will end

3) Outrages Spending Spree
With the rise of the salary cap players get outrages contracts and teams barely manage to get to the cap floor

best moment-first danish player,jannik hansen reaches stanley cup finals

1. Iginla scores 30 goals in 10 straight seasons and 1000th point.

2. Rookie Seguin wins the Cup.

3. Jets return!

4. Canucks green men make an impression.

Will 40 Years of Tears end
The Canucks heve been close 3 times in 40 years. Will the weaping finally end in 2011-12

Modano signing a one day contract to retire as a Star.

The return of the Jets franchise.

The return of Jagr. Scoring in his debut at home and in first game in Pitts.(lol)

I suggest Big Joe Thornton’s 1000th game among his other records he will accomplish this season.

Great goods from you, man. I’ve be aware your stuff prior to and you’re simply extremely fantastic.
