Can also appreciate the black and silver Lightning jerseys.
This was also during the time of Tampa Bay's experimental font (1996-1999) for the numbers and player names (all of which were basically illegible).

| Daren Puppa 1996-97 Leaf #73 (card back) |
Tampa Bay's current netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy wears number 88.
One of their first goalies was Darren Puppa wearing number 93, which was a fairly unusual digit at the time.
Even more surprising, back of the card shows a teammate wearing number 95 (Michel Petit).
Had just assumed that 93 would have been the highest number on the team.
On a sidenote, I wonder if we'll ever see another goaltender win a championship while wearing a traditional goalie number (1, 29, 30, 31...).
