Dude! What are you doing in that uniform? Part III

[DannyGallivan]

The great Serge Savard with the Winnipeg Jets.

Lanny with the old Rockies:

Brad Park with Detroit.

Jacques Lemaire as a Sabre. I actually had this card (which was thrown out by my parents during one of our moves, along with my other beloved cards). He never played for Buffalo. instead, Opee-Chee (or was it Topps, I don't remember) thought they'd get the jump on a rumoured moved to the Sabres that never happened.

Tony Esposito in one of his 13 games as a Montreal Canadien to start his career.

Damn, I did have or possibly still do have this card. Back in the day some were traded or lost. Of course back then with no 24 hours sports and old news in the sports pages I actually did think he was dealt for a while.

Andrei Kovalenko as a Boston Bruin in 2000-2001

Michael Nylander in 2003-2004 with a whopping 15 games for the Bruins

 

[Super Fadio Bro]

Tony Esposito in one of his 13 games as a Montreal Canadien to start his career.

The thing is...he won the cup with them.

 

[NewtJorden]

Stephane Richer actually played 58 games with the Penguins.... Surreal

I think this is even weirder, especially since he doesnt have his #44

Just for the case, it wasnt mentioned: Halak in Buffalo Sabres

 

[Howie Hodge]

Topps did; I have this card in my wall frame. O-Pee-Chee wasn't available in Buffalo, though they have this card in Canada as did Topps in The US. Nice Toupee also...

Someone mocked this card with a French Connection card featuring Lemaire - see if I can find it.

 

[Howie Hodge]

Guy Lapointe, with The Blues.

 

[Iron Mike Sharpe]

Rick Vaive

Thomas Gradin

Interestingly he still autographs it with the 44.

 

[shills]

Some things are best left unseen...

Indeed ... and this 20-game stop was always equally weird to me...

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Darrin Madeley as a San Jose Shark (confirmed in the Twitter thread):

For some stupid reason, he was my favourite goaltender as a kid. Every time we played ball hockey, I was him.

 

[Doctor No]

Absolutely nothing wrong with that!

I always really liked Markus Ketterer (and thought he'd be a star) thanks to some Upper Deck card I got one time.

 

[JianYang]

Trevor linden in an isles/Habs/caps jersey just looked weird.

Gilmour in Montreal. He actually had a decent year as an emergency signing after koivu's cancer diagnosis, particularly in the postseason.

Oh god. Markus Ketterer. He was my favourite Sabres player for a time. Little 8 and 9 year old me had no idea he never actually played for them.

The card you are probably talking about.

Fortunately, this picture exists

Craig Anderson

That Derek Sanderson card on the Canucks is an airbrush job. You can see a Blues player in the background also in a dark jersey.

Forgot that McNab played with Vancouver and in the Halloween uniform no less!

I remember those days well when I was collecting hockey cards. It looked so stupid when they would paint over the jersey to try and match the player's current team. Did they actually think they could fool the people buying the cards? It made a lot more sense when they later on decided just to annotate the card indicating "Now with ........." instead of pretending they were artists.

 

[SealsFan]

Here's one I don't recall at all, and can't find a picture for. Bert Marshall spent 8 games with the Rangers in between his long stints with the Seals and Islanders!
