| Esa Tikanen 1995-96 Upper Deck #126 |
Esa Tikanen is no stranger to the NHL playoffs.
I like seeing how excited this guy is when he scores a big goal.
Bucket on crooked, and getting mobbed by teammates...
Although the Blues were eliminated in the first round, Tikkanen did score a GWG in the 1995 playoffs.
In this snapshot, he's just scored the first of his 2 goals in Game 6 to help keep the Blues alive, forcing a seventh game.
Esa Tikanen NHL playoff stats: 51 goals, 46 assists for 97 points in 114 career playoff games.
Definitely a sign of the times with those St Louis Blues uniforms.
Never thought there could ever be more red on a Blues jersey... (Fast forward to 2021)

Back of the card is great too.
A nice look at the mask of Anaheim's Mikhail Shtalenkov.
Bonus point for beer ad on the boards.

| Troy Loney 1993-94 Upper Deck #438 |
Reminds me of another card featuring the Mighty Ducks...
Front just happens to feature a cameo of Islanders' goaltender Ron Hextall (who also has a great looking card: 1993-94 Upper Deck #424).

| Troy Loney 1993-94 Upper Deck #438 (card back) |
Back of the card shows Troy Loney against a Detroit Red Wings goaltender.
Could not identify the goalie in the photo, wearing number 31 for the Wings...
It appears to be Peter Ing, who played just 3 games that season.
Five different netminders saw action for Detroit that season.
(Osgood, Cheveldae, Essensa, Riendeau, Ing)
