2016-17 Upper Deck #62 |
A quick post inspired by the 2023
NHL Playoff series between the
Dallas Stars and
Minnesota Wild...
The
Stars score a goal in
Minnesota, and nobody cares...
Every visible fan seams to be wearing
Minnesota Wild apparel.
I just find it amusing because the
Dallas Stars were originally the
Minnesota North Stars... until 1994. Now the old franchise is back in town, embroiled in a Playoff series against the "new"
Minnnesota expansion team.
Makes me wonder if any fans still wear their
North Stars jerseys while cheering for the "road" team...
Just now realizing that the teams previously met in the 2016 Playoffs, with
Dallas emerging as the victor. It's even feasible that this snapshot could have been taken at that time.

Couldn't help but notice that
Jason Spezza's card from the following season is equally entertaining...
Maybe
Corey Perry is dodging out of the way... But at a glance, it looks as if
Spezza is nailing him with an elbow on the way by.
Either way, a pair of highly amusing cards.
Fortunately, I have duplicates available for my favorites binder.

Also stumbled upon this card...
Is that a
Minnesota North Stars jersey in the crowd???
From a decade earlier, and likely in the
Phoenix Coyotes' arena - But still interesting, nonetheless...
