Goaltending Gallimaufry: Scored Myself a New One

Gallimaufry [gal-uh-maw-free] A hodgepodge; jumble; confused medley.

There was one other good thing to come out of my three pack break of 2011-12 Score and that was another candidate for my "Goaltending Gallimaufry" project. It was this Craig Anderson, featuring him wearing the remnants of his Colorado gear after being dealt to the Senators back in February. 


As you can see, this photo was taken sometime after Anderson switched to his Senators themed mask, but before he made the full transition to Ottawa colors. Either way, this one still meets the criteria for the project and is a welcome addition for the new season. 

If anything, this card gives me at least somewhat of a reason to keep busting packs, as I never know when I'm going to come arcross one of these. That's the nice part about this project, as it covers just about any base set out there. 

That's it for now. Since I wasn't able to make it up to Toronto for the expo recently, I'm hoping to hit up one of the local shows with my upcoming vacation time, but we'll see. This time of year is busy enough, so trying to squeeze it in will be interesting.

  1. I love this collection idea, i can't wait to look through my cards and see which oddities I can find. I wanted to show you this one as a friend and I were talking about how it made no sense. Michal Neuvirth now plays for the Caps, but he once played for the Plymouth Whalers before being traded to the Windsor Spitfires. Michal had already played a full season in Plymouth, whose colours are Navy blue and some green and silver thrown in. So these pads make no sense for either team. Enjoy.Im sure you could pick this card up cheap for your collection. http://czgolnhl.wbs.cz/neuvirth_btp_08.jpg
