Classic Sports Card of The Day

04 Nov

1980 O-pee-chee hockey card of NHL Hall of Famer Mark Messier. Messier started his career in the old World Hockey Association and eventually wound up in the NHL with the Edmonton Oilers, where he played second fiddle to Wayne Gretzky on 4 Stanley Cup winning teams. Messier eventually established himself as one of the NHL’s greatest players on his own, winning another Cup in Edmonton after Gretzky was traded, and then winning again as captain of the New York Rangers in 1994.  “Moose” won the Hart Trophy as league MVP twice in his career, and also won a Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in 1984.
