Patrice Bergeron is a triple Gold Club member. Fun fact: he won a World Championship (pros) in 2004 and he was young enough to play in and win the 2005 World Junior Championship. Great pod boyz....thanks!
Appreciate the kind words! In a hockey Mt. Rushmore, I don't think it's close between Pasta and Bergeron...Bergeron easily gets the nomination in my book. For the hobby Mt. Rushmore...it's tougher.
Eddie Shore should be considered for the Bruins Rushmore. Just so few of his cards to be able to say that there are a lot of sales in a given year. He is one of the top pre war cards out there though!
Yeah, it's tough with the pre-war guys when it comes to the hobby market. So many underappreciated legends. Thanks for chiming in and adding Shore into the mix!
A guy who I didn't think you mentioned for Bruins Mount Rushmore is Cam Neely (what have you done for me lately?) who had three seasons with 50+ goals. I'd say he's certainly more deserving than Chara who played seasons in Ottawa and with the Islanders.
He was written on my sheet at the top! I got sidetracked and didn't mention it, my bad completely! I still like Chara over Neely IMO but I feel silly not mentioning Neely, my bad man!!
Great show guys. But Bergeron should have been there over Pasta, and I’m a huge Pasta fan; probably even Neely. Also Troy, thank you for finally mentioning Cheevers; not my era but definitely a Bruins icon; another huge Bruin with no hobby market is Rick Middletown; and then who can forget Millbury
I think you have to have Kopitar on there. Not sure who he'd displace but form a hobby perspective perhaps Dionne who gets very little hobby love overall?
Roger Vachon is photo shopped over Ross Lonesberry's card of the same year...I'm hoping the 1975-76 Bill Clement airbrush catastrophe is one of the worst cards ever 😅
Oh man @theloudcollector. Hopefully that means you’re due to pull an absolute banger of a card the next box you open. I dont get into breaks often but i grabbed one random spot in a big one a while back with high endish 21-22 products. I got Montreal luckily and was offered all 5 teams that someone else got for the Habs. I was so nervous bc breaking was too new for me at the time so i just held. The chat was basically laughing at me for not taking the offer so not only was i nervous then i became embarrassed. I hit a Premier Gold Caufield RPA /24 and felt even worse. Like survivors guilt or something lol. That was an awesome move offering a split on the bounty especially bc i know how he probably felt. I have gotten into a handful of breaks since then just not random ones lol
Cmon guys, again tripping over Slafs nationality 😂 He's Slovak, as is your boy Gaborik and tons of other great NHLers (Stastny, Chara, Hossa, Bondra, Palffy, Demitra, Visnovsky, Satan, Halak, etc.). Love the show tho
Troy’s new segment is a must skip if you’re just listening, had to pop on here to even remotely understand the discussion but! Might work if it’s a card and not a bunch.. that was my experience with it
First thing Troy says about Bourque is that he his not a nice guy, again. Stop believing what 1-2 internet trolls write on some forum. Bourque does alot of card shows and has a foundation in Boston, won the King Clancy before. And Phil says that his rookie card is ugly. Why all the hate towards the guy ? Stop the propaganda geez.
The show has a friend who lives in Boston and we’ve heard a cpl first hand stories. Still hear say though I hear what you mean. I get the same thing in Ottawa about some players too. In regards to his rookie card, yea man, it’s ugly Imo lol. Nothing to do with Ray!! Ultimately, we are all just goofin around, gotta meet the man in person to make a true comment.
@@theloudcollector I mean, i'm sure Wayne, Mario, Sidney and McDavid all pissed off fans at some point because they did not sign something or did not talk enough because they were in a hurry. But if the show keep throwing this up at each time you talk about Bourque, please do the same about other players and spill the beans of how rude they were with a fan one time. I just don't feel you are playing fair.
Thumbs down to expansion 👎. The league is already watered down as it is. Even if you have a competitive team (i.e. San Jose 2010s) to win the Stanley Cup is like the lottery. The odds are stacked against you (1 winner, 30 plus losers). Do you expect to see Calgary or the Islanders to ever win the Cup again? Your window of opportunity is very small until you get too old and have to rebuild in hopes of just getting back to that competitive level (which is no guarantee).
Guys please don't mention Hamilton as a possible NHL destination! It's not going to work in a city that the #1 employer is long term disability lol I get that there are alot of Leaf haters who will jump on the bandwagon but the city is too small
Its sad but true! Lol although I agree with you %100 on Quebec City as I'm sure most hockey people do including our american friends who care about hockey! Every time I go up to Montreal for a Leafs/Habs game I try to give myself the extra couple of days to visit Quebec city for a night before coming back, love that city!@theloudcollector
Long time listener here! Loved the pod today. While listening to the “full send podcast” with guest kevin O’Leary, at 10:40 kevin mentioned the card hobby industry. He talked about now being the time to get into the business. He mentioned how grading and vaulting will be the future. I figured I’d mention it since and light shed on the hobby is great!
Thank you for adding chapters.
You're welcome
Incredibly funny segment, Troy! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!

@@theloudcollector Boston is certainly a storied franchise. It’s easy to miss a player or two here and there.
Neely and Chara were on the list too. Tough with only 4 spots!

Appreciate the feedback Brian! It's been very split on the Bergeron/Pasta debate so you're not alone.
Kings Mount Rushmore - Gretzky, Robitaille, Rob Blake, Marcel Dionne (that’s off the top of my head so I may be forgetting someone)
Thanks for the head start!

Crazy story Mario! At least your luck was better than Phil's lol.
@@mariocavallo331 that’s a great story Mario. We all share something bonkers from breaks eh. I feel a big card coming in 2025 💪!!
The topic in the title of your episode is where in the timestamps?
D'oh! Sorry about that. Added it to the details: 2024-25 Preview Series: Make or Break Hobby Seasons 01:06:29

Maybe someday we'll get it but don't hold your breath lol....
@@hockeycardsgongshow I almost forgot the Sens great Andrej Meszaros. Phil knows.
Second team in Toronto, then they'll win the Cup before the Leafs
Troy set the bar high with this first instalment of his new segment. 👏👏👏
Appreciate that Jeremy!
Ugly hockey cards segment 👍👍 Agree with the first three picks for Bruins but Cam Neely would be my fourth pick
Glad you like the ugly card segment! Neely didn't make it for us because of his weaker hobby market, but he's obviously a great player yes.
Call them the Portland Goonies
love that!

If they add four more it'll be interesting to see what happens. I'm sure it would be two at a time but still seems like a lot.
