I have some late submissions! Starting with Capitals:

International:

Hurricanes:

Red Wings:

Sabres:

Wild:

This is an amazing array of late entries...thanks for taking the time to show these off. That Ovy in particular I think deserves a second look in the Capitals Round. Hopefully, you'll visit often to help us sort out the last two upcoming teams (Nucks and Rangers) and participate in the playoff round.

Vote anytime you like and when we get a few ballots in, I'll throw up a preliminary tally and set a deadline for entries/votes.

Canucks:

Hold this thought...the Canucks Round is coming up soon and that's a doozy of a card...wow. Save these Sedins and re-enter them next week (or late this week).

Is that from the regularly worn jersey or is it some kind of special jersey/patch piece?

---

And last but NOT least, Mark Messier 1990 Oilers Stanley Cup patch. You can kinda see which part of the actual patch this is (just picked up on the bay!)

I don't see it...what part of the patch is this swatch from?

[mrspudhead]

I just remembered a patch that I posted some time ago that someone identified as coming from a special event jersey (NHL oldtimers game or something like that). I can't find that thread and don't remember the jersey but here is the card. Spud

[warsawknuckles467]

my vote goes to bimola's Messier. that hits the proverbial nail on the head with what i was looking for when i came up with this category. some ppl are missing the mark with what they are posting...

[mrspudhead]

My vote is for Canucklehead's Subban. Spud

[bonnev659]

my vote is for that Mess....

Ready for Vancouver

Canucks:

Ready for Vancouver

Hrm, the locals are getting restless. : ) There's a 50/50 chance the next round is Vancouver so it won't be much longer folks. I know the Canucks and Rangers'll be popular, so I haven't been worried about seeing a few intermediate rounds get in the way of moving through our last two teams.

But while the diversions have yielded some amazing eye candy, barring overwhelming consensus beforehand...

Special Patches Round Closes @ 6pm PT

bimola's Messier Superlative: 2 (warsaw; bonnev)
canucklehead's SUbban Dominion: 1 (spud)
jaykayzee's Dowzak Heroes & Prospects: 1 (wick)

Let's face it, there's some stiff competition out there and I'm sure avsfan193377's Bourques would've merited consideration if he were around to enter the card himself but I've narrowed it down to two cards.

bimola's Messier seems like it should be recognizable but I'm still unable to quite make out what appears to lettering of some sort. It reminds me of staring into this painting from the Ferris Bueller's Day Off museum scene (fast-forward to 1:03):



The more I look at it, the less I can make out.

And jaykayzee's Dowzak, sure it's the minors, but that eyeball! The more I look at it, the more I think it's following me around. Don't stare into into the eye...it can see your thoughts!
