2015-16 Upper Deck Portraits

A random mixed binder yielded a couple random insert cards: 2015-16 Upper Deck Portraits...
[Total Cards in Subset: 110]

Phil Esposito
2015-16 Upper Deck Portraits #P-51

The first one is Phil Esposito. He still holds the record for shots on goal with 550 shots in a single season (1970-71).

One of my favorite hockey quotes comes from Espo:

“It’s not how hard you shoot, how accurate you shoot, but how quick you get the shot off.”
-Phil Esposito

Other Legends included within this set: Lafleur, Gretzky, Brodeur, Lemieux and Bobby Hull.

Sam Brittain
2015-16 Upper Deck Portraits #P-108

Sam Brittain, drafted by the Florida Panthers (4th round of the 2010 draft) has yet to see any NHL regular season action. Still, I'm always a fan of cards featuring a closeup of a goalie mask.

In today's game, even the prospects don a fully painted team mask...
