Rejected Hockey Card - Matt Bradley

After such an epic night, no one (except perhaps for poor Quintin Laing -- but nobody wants to see that card) deserves to be enshrined in a hockey card more than Matt Bradley. Yes, he tied (at best) his fight, but it's what it meant to his teammates, the fans, the guy who has to scrape blood off the ice, and Henrik Lundqvist that is what we should remember, and celebrate. So I present... the Matt Bradley Rejected hockey card:
(not up to my usual standards, but it's a rush-job).

Don’t apologize for the rush job; on sequels, this is RockyII/X-Men 2 good.

I’m aiming for Lord of the Rings but was worried I was posting Star Wars: Episode 1. Meesa think it maybe sucked.

Awesome. I sincerely hope this continues to be a running series.
Because now I can justify browsing and commenting during the work day with the argument that I am promoting my business.

I’m pretty sure my source has plenty more rejected cards, who should I ask him to dig up next?

Nylander might be too easy… Chris Bourque?

Wait on Chris until we get the chance to resign him? Pitters seem to be going insane right now watching him play, and if the anti-Bourque lobby (read: Penguins fans) continue to boil, the Caps will have a chance to get him off waivers.
The forward so nice we got him twice!
(It’s nice to dream. =)

Anyone more of a letdown in the “two stints in DC department” than Kris Beech? I think no.

Cote was terrible in his second tour. As were most of those guys. But biggest letdown? How can it not be Nylander?
Oh, and double-check on Zubie – only one tour, by my count.

What about Anson Carter?

My advice is don’t force it. So far, some pretty great photos have suggested themselves. There’s no rush to make a complete set. With that said, there are some pretty funny photos of Boudreau out there already. And the shot of Varlamov squeezing the legs and holding the crossbar during the shootout is fabulous.
...from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.

Sage advice… the Brads card screamed to be done. I think the new cards will do the same.

Eagerly awaiting the rejected “Bruce Boudreau Limited Autographed Edition” card featuring a picture of some random guy.

CmA -
Great series. Might I suggest you create a custom tag for these so they can all be easily accessed?

huh, I’m noticing custom tag fail going on in the SBN system here… thought I might have done something wrong but noticed the same lack of anything when I clicked on the caps fight club tag.

I so wish I had Photoshop skillz, because that made me think of Sidney Crosby skipping through the woods, singing “Who’s afraid of the big bad Brads, the big bad Brads, the big bad Brads?”
