Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Rejected Hockey Card: Michael Nylander

Every time J.P. posts a picture of a hockey card from "the shoebox next to my desk" it makes me want to dig around in my own shoebox and see what interesting cards I have.  Well today I did just that and came across a card I didn't even remember buying.  It's a little faded and beat up, but man, in light of recent events it might be worth something!

Thus, I present Michael Nylander's AHL rookie card:

This is amazing, part of the reason why we all love the rink and I will keep checking this site everyday without a doubt and it will only keep growing.

Ok, I would like to sit in your section. Awesome.

ok. But remember, bitching about shift length is a requirement. That and 27 pieces of flair.

I’m up for the bitching, but do I really have to cut down to 27 pieces of flair?

by MikeBrady on Dec 15, 2009 2:54 PM EST reply actions  

And do I really need to learn how to use reply?

Last comment reply fail is an epidemic in SBN… definitely need to make a little space or something as a visual clue.

Damn, you want quality? I’m out.

I could have been equipment manager, but nooooo!

Hmmm, used to be a FARK photochopping fool years ago, might just have to dust off the old skills and put them to good Rink use.

Pretty amazing, probably the best rejected card so far.Not sure if that misspelling of “Sweden” is intentional though!

OT Hockey 2/8
Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
