Hockey Card of the Day #30

Colorado Rockies, records, 77-78 O-Pee-Chee, hockey, hockey cards#327 - Colorado Rockies (Records)
77-78 O-Pee-Chee
(back)

The best thing about this card is the stats on the back for most shutouts in a season and in a career which say "never accomplished." I know the team had only been in Colorado for one season, but if you include the stats from the team's time in Kansas City, it still would read "never accomplished."

Doug Favell eventually recorded the team's first shutout early in the 77-78 season, a 3-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. That one shutout gives Favell a share of the team record for most career shutouts by a Rockies goaltender. Bill Oleschuk and Bill McKenzie were the other two goalies to get shutouts during the team's six years in Colorado before they were moved to new Jersey for the 82-83 season.

Holy shit! I have this card. In grade 5, my friend and I bought a shitload of colorado cards from coaches corner in fort langely. They were all super cheap. Why were we so stoked on them? I dunno, but that was the year I got sick from eating all the gum that came in a box of topps cards in one sitting, so who knows.
