I like this information more than the pictures. No offense to Scorpion and all the effort.

I bought a Bryce Van Brabant LEGO dude from Pro Hockey Life a few years ago because I thought it was so ridiculous that it existed that I couldn't not buy it.

I believe they made every player in the league but he was easily the most random player you could buy. Everyone else they made at least played the majority of the season. He's $12 on e-Bay right now. I don't think I payed $12 but knowing 20-year-old me I might have.

Where have you gone, Scorp?


The Flames had to remind me that we're Mike Smith days away from the home opener...

You've missed some good ones (and some garbage)...
  • August 17: 47 - Sven Baertschi: Remember that first call-up? Oh baby.
  • August 18: 46 - Mark Giordano: The legend before his time.
  • August 19: 45 - Jamie Lundmark: The savior.
  • August 20: 44 - Rhett Warrener: The finalist.
  • August 21: 43 - Brennan Evans: The playoff legend.
  • August 22: 42 - Sergei Makarov: So good they changed the rules.
  • August 23: 41 - Mike Smith: Shutout the Ducks in Anaheim. If he never does anything else, he did that.
  • August 24: 40 - Alex Tanguay: Why won't you shoot the puck?
  • August 25: 39 - Doug Gilmour: It was the best of trades. It was the worst of trades.
  • August 26: 38 - Todd Hlushko: He wore this number the longest.

In short -- I got a job. My apologies but it's been rather nose-to-the-grindstone lately.

Scorp, hope you don't mind if I post some of these if you don't have the time.

August 27...



Trevor Kidd, one of the best mask and pad combos in Flames history. Unfortunately, that's the best thing to be said about his time in Calgary.

Famously, the Flames swapped first round picks with the Devils at the 1990 Draft. The Flames moved up from 20th to 11th to take Kidd. New Jersey used their pick to also take a goalie -- I've heard he had a decent career.

Sure, MB was good but he didn't have pads like the Kid!
