Classic Sports Card of The Day

12 Jul

www.CheckOutMyCards.com is one of the best online sites for sports cards, and this hockey card of Buffalo Sabres Hall of Famer Gilbert Perreault is an example of the great cards that can be viewed there. The Sabres won a coin flip with the other expansion team entering the NHL in 1970, the Vancouver Canucks, and Buffalo general manager Punch Imlach used the pick to grab Perreault, who anchored the Buffalo franchise for 17 seasons, and led them to 11 straight playoff appearances.  Perrealt was a 9 time NHL All-star, won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year, and holds most Sabres franchise scoring records. His jersey number “11” has been retired by the team.
