PrintWe were sent quite a few cards to share with readers, so this feature will now be published more than just one time per week. I changed the name appropriately to "cards" of the week.
Next up are two cards sent in by "Kevin", one old and one new. I like them because they kind of symbolize the changing of the guard with the Hurricanes. The first Kevin says is an Upper Deck rookie card of Rod Brind`Amour. The veteran was nice enough to sign this for him after a game.
Check out the size of the face shield.
Here's the back of the card.
Kevin also sent a Zach Boychuk Upper Deck rookie card which I'm sure will be signed soon.
We have lots more cards coming up, including more of Boychuk as well as a few surprises. If you have some you would like to share, send them to canescountry@gmail.com. Thanks!

Am I the only one surprised that the Rod Brind’Amour rookie card isn’t on papyrus and littered with hieroglyphics?
I kid, I kid.
I just wish JR would have given up Ray Whitney for Lent.
Check out that wooden stick though! Those were the days…

Definitely wouldn’t have recognized the back of Rod’s card as being Rod without the caption. His nose is so straight!
"What Carolina really has going for them is Brandon Sutter. When that kid first showed up, he looked like a skinny little thing that wouldn’t last two weeks. But he’s turned into a real star."
The nose might be straight, the the intensity in his eye is still the same after all these years!
I can recognize him more on the back of the card then on the front.
"The increase in pain is way beyond what you would expect a person to play with," said coach Paul Maurice. "Unfortunately it’s even beyond what Tim Gleason can play with, because he can play with just about anything."
I don’t know why, but his face on the back of the card kind looks like Samson to me.
"...they will not force us...they will stop degrading us...they will not control us...we will be victorious..."
Mah blog.
I’ll get him to sign it this year coming up for sure.
Carolina Hurricanes! Your 2011 Stanley Cup Champions!
So these DO belong to you.
"What Carolina really has going for them is Brandon Sutter. When that kid first showed up, he looked like a skinny little thing that wouldn’t last two weeks. But he’s turned into a real star."
You need to post the one you got today.

Oops, Sorry about that CG!
I was replying to canescup, he had mentioned to me another card he recently got.

I actually have a Sherwood PMP 7030 in my garage that looks just like that. I have no idea why I haven’t gotten rid of it yet.
Get rid of it?! Keep that relic!

This is unrelated, but there is a great write-up in Copper-N-Blue that’s worth reading, I think it makes my point why we should move-up to get Seguin.
