| Patrick Lalime RC 1996-97 Select Certified #108 |
Actually had this on my list of cards that I hoped to add to my collection.
An exciting story from around the turn of the century.
With injuries to Barasso and Wregget, third string goalie Patrick Lalime fell into the starting role for the Pittsburgh Penguins...
From the back of the card:
"Patrick secured a place in NHL history by starting his goaltending career with a 15-game unbeaten streak. On Jan 15, 1997 he shut out the Whalers and improved his starting career record to 13-0-2, surpassing Vezina Trophy winner Ken Dryden's career start of 12-0-2 for Montreal in 1970-71."
The unbeaten streak would continue for a total of 16 games (14-0-2) to begin his NHL career.
(this was a few years before the introduction of the shootout, eliminating ties from the equation)
Other Lalime rookie cards found within the sets of 1996-97:
Black Diamond, Donruss Elite, Flair, Ultra, and Upper Deck Ice.
Wouldn't mind finding Lalime's cards from 1996-97 Donruss Elite or 1996-97 Ultra.
