Cruel Card: Marian Hossa (2008-09 SPX #58)

 Marian Hossa
2008-09 SPX #58

A hired gun for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Marian Hossa was on the losing side of the 2008 Stanley Cup Final, in which the Penguins fell to the Detroit Red Wings.

Hoss jumped ship, sold his services to the Wings, only to lose to his ex-teammate Penguins the following year.

I just like the huge "X" on the graphic, with the Detroit logo and red background, with Hossa still in a Pittsburgh uniform.

After two consecutive trips to the final with two different teams (and being on the losing side both times) the hockey gods felt he had suffered enough, and he won the Stanley Cup the following year with the Chicago Blackhawks.
