Conked Out...

Ty Conklin
2009-10 Upper Deck MVP #49

Another highly under-rated goaltender, in my opinion.

Ty Conklin appears with his new team - The Detroit Red Wings.
But apparently, he's sinced moved to St. Louis!
(It's hard to keep up with this guy)


Also visible on his jersey is the 2009 Winter Classic patch.

The NHL outdoor game took place in historic Wrigley Field, Chicago where the Red Wings defeated the Blackhawks 6-4.
This was just the second NHL game to be marketed as a "Winter Classic".

(card back)

From the back of the card:

"Conklin had a campaign to remember in 2008-09...
...earning the nod as the starting goaltender in the third outdoor game of his career (with Edmonton, Pittsburgh and Detroit)"

Played for SIX different teams in his 9-year NHL career.
(Edmonton, Columbus, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Detroit and St. Louis)

Was completely unaware that he returned for a second stint with Detroit (15 games) in 2011-12.
