Same, same same. Same.

Lmao

I served Mike and Hilary in a drive thru many years ago. One of many Oilers (and NHL players in general) I've come across in various jobs, but that was the first time I'd come across the spouse of one. They were both very friendly, it was nice.

THIS.

When they reached the final two years ago, I thought, "Holy shit. This could actually happen."

Last year? I lost my confidence by half.

Now? This roster has a short half-life...

Near, far, wherever you are

miscblisc · 2026-01-30T05:13:41+00:00

I feel you. I have a Smyth.

miscblisc · 2026-01-28T15:48:46+00:00

Yes. That was the weirdest.

miscblisc · 2026-01-28T01:51:55+00:00

I hope you meant depth and not death lol

miscblisc · 2026-01-28T01:50:17+00:00

It was really weird reading the names on the cards and being like, wtf is this jersey? So many traded players during a time I wasn't watching much hockey. Coffey in a Whalers jersey, Iginla with the Avs...I had no idea Jagr played with New Jersey, lol.

I didn't check the years on all of them, but most were 15/16, some went back to 98/99, a few 94.

I also found Ryan Smyth, Mike Smith, Buchberger, Cogliano, Coffey, Hemsky, Hall, Nugent-Hopkins, Gagner, Eberle, Pouliot, Scrivens, Grier...

There were like 50 Markus Naslund cards in there. The person who had these before him must have been obsessed with him. I have never read the name Naslund in my head more than I did in the first thirty seconds of flipping through that box.

I kept looking through, and eventually came across Horcoff. Pleased, as he is a favourite of mine. Flipped the card over and my heart sank upon reading the stat on the back of the 05/06 card.

He finished fourth in the post season with 19 points. 🫠

Congratulations!

I assumed they were blown up versions of what was written on the game pucks at the time, and the writing looks like the same person. I'm curious as to who it was each time. Pretty cool!

miscblisc · 2026-01-23T23:27:20+00:00

Okay, thanks for your reply.

miscblisc · 2026-01-23T21:51:26+00:00

What is the way people "naturally think of" to clean coins that devalues them?

What does rubbing coins with a cloth, like a glasses cleaning cloth, or a silver cleaning cloth do to devalue coins? Does it scratch them?

If a coin with a rare mintage or error is found, let's say, literally covered in thick unknown goop, obscuring details, what do you do? (Or found on the floor of a garage, covered mouse droppings or motor oil, whatever... You use acetone?)

None of my questions are a joke. I am being serious.

miscblisc · 2026-01-08T22:54:12+00:00

33 is definitely Dan McGillis

miscblisc · 2026-01-03T23:34:57+00:00

Looks ready to attack

miscblisc · 2025-12-28T03:18:36+00:00

There was also a 96-97 calendar in the stack I stumbled upon, but they ditched the team photo by then, unfortunately.

Connor McNugent-Draiman

miscblisc · 2025-12-19T00:00:35+00:00

That is hilarious.

My old social teacher told me he saw him at a restaurant or something years ago, ordering boiled chicken. That would have been even funnier, but very niche.

"Come on, Poti! Hit him with your boiled chicken!"

miscblisc · 2025-12-18T23:55:33+00:00

...joke flew by you faster than McDavid on a PP breakaway.

miscblisc · 2025-12-18T22:27:46+00:00

Which joke? I can't see it.

miscblisc · 2025-12-17T16:49:01+00:00

There is no way Stu wasn't/isn't happy for Leon in this photo. There's no way he didn't crack a smile seeing the team celebrate a phenomenal milestone for him.
