what do you think has been the biggest surprised and disappointment both for NHL and also cards

for cards
disappointment is NHL lockout killing a few products I enjoy collecting singles of

for NHL

disappointment is Phil and Wash in the East and Kings out west

surprise is Vanek in points and Fasth is playing like Giggy for Ana, if the season ended today Leafs are in the playoffs (Sorry i read too much down goes brown)

Cards:
Disappointment: Absolutely nothing done during the lockout to make the cards more interesting, like the 04-05YGs.
Surprise: Panini still gets no love despite having WAY nicer products than UD

Hockey:
Disappointment: Schultz going to Edmonton instead of Vancouver.
Surprise: Kassian. I didn't expect this level of play until next season.

Cards
Disappointment: No new NHL Rookies this year in products, (Yakupov, Tarasenko, etc.)
Surprise: The addition of canceled products in upcoming products, (ex. SPX autos & jerseys in SP Authentic)

Disappointment with the Oilers, who still can't play any defense.

They're young. They've got a new coach. Relax. Another year or two and the next decade or so is yours.

No real surprises. I did expect the guys who were already playing to have an advantage...Ovechkin lol.

IMO the lockout real hurt the card market on sites like ebay. Not sure how the real highend stuff is doing but there is little activity in the mid to lower price stuff.
