Great photos in hockey history you've just seen for the first time (Part III)

[ForsbergForever]

Absolutely mindblowing that they were D Partners, since I associate them with two completely different eras of hockey. The two of them stretch from what, 1973 to 2012?

I wonder if there's another elder veteran in his final year-rookie defense pair that spanned that much time. Looks like Chelios did play a little with Bogosian in 2010 so that gives us about a 38-39 year stretch as well.

And Chelios started his career playing with Larry Robinson, so with Robinson-Chelios-Bogosian you cover a half century, 1972-2022.

Larry Robinson / Rob Blake played together in 1990-91 and 1991-92. That takes it from Jan. 1973 to April 2010 (37+ years).

It’s amazing how much effort someone must have gone through to find all that cowboy gear, only to give zero effort to taking the picture itself

I mean they didn’t even center him in the photo

I absolutely thought that was Jagr at first.

Looks like a hybrid of jagr and Lang

Patrick Kane rookie card

Patrick Kane rookie card

Such a weird card to release for Sylvain Turgeon. I get that he wasn't Pierre but he was a decent player in his own right - and you decide to choose a photo where he is falling down? Just funny to me.

I know, right? I used to keep "funny" hockey cards in a special folder. One of my favourites was a Sergio Momesso card where he appeared to be angrily getting up after being knocked down. That was apparently the most favourable picture of Momesso they got all year.

Coffey was there that day, too. When they asked Coffey about Mario, I think he said, "He's a bit nerdy." (Mario probably a bit shy and not fluent yet in English.)
