Captured on Cardboard #13: Rich Peverley

It's been a little while now since I've done one of these, so here goes nothing. This one comes from a stack of 2011-12 Pinnacle cards I picked up at one of the Gibraltar shows last year. This one is very similar to the one I posted for Patrice Bergeron back in August. Sorry Canucks fans, but I had to post this one. 

Gotta love pictures of goal celebrations, especially for those scored in the playoffs. This card depicts Rich Peverley's first period goal from Game 4 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals. It was the first goal of the game and the beginning of a 4-0 Bruins win.

The first look at the moment captured on the card comes around the 0:12 mark. Then there are a couple more looks at it during the replays following the goal. Just another great moment captured on cardboard.

Captured on Cardboard #12: Steve Yzerman

Among the many dime box pickups from my last Gibraltar show was this gem for my Captured on Cardboard side project. I actually had this card in my hand at the last show, but decided not to get it for some reason. Not sure why, but at least I have it now, right?

Anyway, if you can't tell what this one's about just by seeing the picture, it features Yzerman's epic Game 7 double-overtime goal against Jon Casey and the St. Louis blues during the 1996 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Here's a look at the card:

Now, here's a look at the video from YouTube:

It's hard to get an exact read on the puck in the video, but it looks like the shot on the card was taken around the 0:11 mark. There's an almost dead-on perfect copy of the picture at around the 3:54 mark if you want to watch that far. 

Captured on Cardboard #11: Patrice Bergeron

Since I don't have anything from the mailbox to show off today, I thought I would jump back into my Captured on Cardboard series with another moment from a Bruins Stanley Cup clinching game. This card was part of a group I picked up at the last Gibraltar show. 

This one comes from the 2011-12 Pinnacle base set. One thing I love about this set is that some of the base cards depict a specific moment along with a description of that moment on the back. Kind of makes it easier to find cards for this project, doesn't it?

Anyway, this card has a great shot of Bergeron's second period short-handed goal in Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals. It was definitely a back breaker and helped the Bruins capture Lord Stanley's Cup.

The video is a bit long, but I'm sure any Bruins fan will appreciate it. Sorry any Canucks fans out there. The live shot of the moment pictured can be seen around the 6:19 mark. There's a better view during one of the replay around the 6:47 mark. Pretty cool, eh?

Captured on Cardboard #10: Bobby Orr

I think it's pretty obvious by the title where this post is going. I was lucky enough to come across a nice Bobby Orr from UD Masterpieces at the Gibraltar show for less than $1, so I made sure to grab it just for this project.

I've always read a lot about this set, but never really saw any of the cards in person. Now that I have one of them, I have to say this set is pretty awesome. I love the canvas look that these cards have as it goes perfectly with the painted image on each one. 

This will be the first time you'll get to see one of these "Captured on Cardboard" moments in reverse. I happened to come across one of those history will be made commercials that everyone seems to love and thought I would use one for a change. Right about the 17 second mark is where the painting on the card comes from.

It's about time I get one of the iconic moments of the game into this series. I know it's the easy way out in a sense, but there's no denying the awesomness of this card, right?

Captured on Cardboard #9: Chris Chelios

This series is designed to show off cards that highlight a specific moment in time, one that can easily be recalled. Most cards just have some generic action shot that could've come from any game on any given day. That's why these cards stick out when I come across one. 

The latest one for this project is this Chris Chelios from 1997-98 Donruss Canadian Ice. As you can see below, this one features a pretty specific moment in time, that would be his entrance/introduction at the 1997 NHL All Star game in San Jose.

Now for a look at the video. If you fast forward to the 3:40 mark of the video, you see Chelios preparing to enter the ice for his introduction. Around the 3:47 mark is when the photo on the card was taken, just as the fireworks were set off. It looks like those were only for the starters, so that makes this particular photo that much cooler.

So there you have it, another moment captured on cardboard. This would be another cool little side project, collecting cards featuring all star game intros, wouldn't it?

Captured on Cardboard #8: Darren McCarty

It's been a little while now since I've done one of these, since September actually, but as I was sorting through some of my Red Wings cards recently I came across one I had to share. It's a Darren McCarty from 1997-98 Upper Deck. It's another one of those game dated cards, the fourth one I've done now. The caption on this one says it all.

Now for the video. It's a bit hard to see, but around the 1:07 mark you can see McCarty skating in front of the Wings bench from a camera in the stands behind the bench. It's the exact opposite viewpoint of the shot on the card, so it's kind of neat to get another perspective of the moment captured here.

Watching that replay never gets old. It's one of those moments I will never forget as a Red Wings fan. Other than Yzerman hoisting the Cup at the end of the game, this was probably the most memorable highlight of the entire playoff run for the Wings that year.

Captured on Cardboard #7: Owen Nolan

I'm sure you probably know where I'm going with this one and that would in fact be the 1997 NHL All-Star game played in San Jose. This was the 47th All-Star game and ended in a 11-7 win for the Eastern Conference. Interestingly enough, Nolan wasn't the only player to score a hat trick in this one, Mark Recchi also did it and walked away with the MVP.

That said, Nolan still produced the most memorable moment of the game. In front of his home crowd, he found himself in alone on The Dominator, Dominik Hasek, and pointed to the top corner before firing the puck past Hasek. That capped off the hat trick for Nolan.

First, here's a look at the card:

This is another one from 1997-98 Upper Deck with the Game Dated stamp on the front, although even without the stamp and description on the front, it would be pretty difficult to not realize where this photo was taken. So even though this one's a gimme, it works for this series and I wanted to show it off.

Now, here's a look at the video:

There are a few good looks at the point where the photo on the card was taken. The live action one is around the 0:37 mark. After that, there are plenty of replays that provide some different angles of this great moment.

How about that Fox Trax, remember that? I thought it was the coolest thing as a kid watching hockey on TV at home, but now when I watch it I just think it's a bit much, don't you? This video makes me miss the old days of hockey on ESPN (and yes, I know this was on Fox) with guys like John Davidson.

Captured on Cardboard #6: Dustin Byfuglien

It's been quite a while now since I've done one of these, but as I was perusing Shoebox Legends the other day, I noticed a Dustin Byfuglien card from 2009-10 Upper Deck. It stuck out to me because it features a shot of him during the Winter Classic from Wrigley Field, which with me being a Wings fan and all I watched every minute of.

I quickly dug through one of my monster boxes to make sure I had one before starting this post, and sure enough I did have it. Actually I had two as there was a dupe nearby.

At first glance, you see Byfuglien celebrating a Blackhawks goal in front of Ty Conklin. Other than that there isn't a lot going on in the picture on this card.

Now, as far as where the moment captured on the card takes place in the video, look closely around the 2:46 mark, just after Martin Havlat put the puck past Conklin. There are a few things that confirm this. First look at Byfuglien's arms and stick in the air. Second, look at the kneeling position Conklin is in. Third, look at the Verizon ad you can see on the card, which can be seen from the broadcast camera right behind the net.

Here's the video, it's a bit long, but any Wings fan will enjoy:

So there you have it, another moment "Captured on Cardboard." Pretty cool, eh?

Captured on Cardboard #5: Rod Brind'Amour

This edition of Captured on Cardboard features another game dated card from 1997-98 Upper Deck, the third one to be featured now. This one captures another moment from the 1997 Stanley Cup Playoff series between the Flyers and Rangers.

First, let's look at the photo on the card. You've got Rod Brind'Amour looking on as he puts the puck past Ranger goalie Mike Richter in Game 5 of the 1997 Eastern Conference Finals. That goal put the Flyers up 4-2 late in the 3rd period, setting up a memorable Detroit-Philadelphia Stanley Cup Final in which the Flyers were easily swept.

As far as the YouTube video, this one was a little more difficult to track down. Luckily I came across a highlight video for the entire game. The photo seen on the card above was taken at about the 6:10 mark.

Now that three of the five Captured on Cardboard picks have come from these 1997-98 UD game dated cards, I'm on the lookout for more cards that just happen to feature a YouTube moment, unlike these that focus on them. 

Captured on Cardboard #4: Joe Thornton

As much as I despise Joe Thornton and the Sharks, I had to make this card the next one in my Captured on Cardboard series. I pulled this one from a rack pack of 2010-11 UD Series 1 and knew right away when the photo on the card was taken. First, here's the card:

The first indicator for me was the background of the photo, as I can just tell that it is Joe Louis Arena. Second, I distinctly remember the 2-on-1 with Thornton and Marleau that ended Game 3 of the 2010 Western Conference Semifinals. Here's the video: 

The photo on the card was taken at about the 5 second mark of the video. There's another good look at about the 13 second mark.

I chose this one because it's just another base card, like the Johan Franzen from the first post in this series, that happens to feature a specific highlight. These are harder to come across because most cards just have pictures of the players skating around.

They also beat any of the game dated cards because those ones are supposed to have this kind of moment on them, while these plain old base cards just happen to.

Captured on Cardboard #3: Todd Marchant

There's nothing better than game seven of a playoff series and that is the focus of this installment of Captured on Cardboard. I was going through a stack of cards on my desk and came across this Todd Marchant from 97-98 Upper Deck. The caption on the card says it all.

I love the photo on this card. It's the perfect picture of a breakaway, you've got the shooter against the goalie, and what makes this one even better is the defenseman diving from behind with his stick in a failed attempt to stop the scoring chance.

As far as the moment that's actually being captured on cardboard here, let's take a look at the video. Around the 0:10 mark is where it looks like this photo was taken, right before the puck hits the back of the net and the Oilers defeated the Stars.

Like I said in my last post in this series, the Game Dated Upper Deck card would make another appearance. Hopefully I can find some more cards like the Franzen that aren't geared toward these kind of moments. Either way though, it's really cool to be able to pause the video when the picture was taken and look at the card side by side, especially if the photo is from a different angle than the video. 

Captured on Cardboard #2: Mike Vernon

I came across another one of my many Red Wings cards worthy of a captured on Cardboard post. This time, it's a Mike Vernon from 1997-98 Upper Deck. This set of game dated cards is probably going to be making a few appearances as it captured some of the better moments from the 1996-97 season, like this one with Vernon and the Conn Smythe.

Again, this moment is captured both on cardboard and on video. The YouTube clip is the first part of the Cup presentation after game four of the 1997 Stanley Cup Final at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. The photo on the card was taken around the 9:44 mark of the video.

It was definitely great to be a young Wings fan just getting into hockey when the Wings brought home the Cup for the first time in 42 years that night. The second Stevie Y hoisted the Cup above his head at center ice is still to this day my favorite Red Wings moment.

Captured on Cardboard #1: Johan Franzen

I came across this Johan Franzen card from 09-10 Upper Deck and thought it would make for a good topic here on Card Boarded. It features an awesome moment from the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals when Johan Franzen checked Sidney Crosby into the boards at center ice during the second period of game 7 between the Red Wings and Penguins.

Now that you've seen the moment "captured on cardboard" you can watch it over and over again in real time thanks to YouTube. The photo shown on the card was taken right around the 0:13 mark of this video.

I love how the crowd erupts when they realize it's Crosby limping to the bench, it shows just how much Wings fans hate the guy. It's always fun to have a villain in sports.

I'm on the lookout for some more cards that feature these kind of YouTube moments, the Franzen just caught my eye right away when it came out of the last pack of 09-10 Upper Deck that I bought. There has to be a lot more just like this.
