Scott Wedgewood 11-12 ITG BTP Auto

So the future between the pipes in NJ is not something I have spent much of the last two decades thinking about to be honest with you. Devils have been blessed with Marty and I have seen many back-ups come and go and really thinking about them as any more than a second goalie for practices would have been a waste of time. Not that any of those back-ups weren't capable goalies, it is just there was never much "pie" left over after Marty took his lion's share. 

However, all good things come to an end and the Devils have been stockpiling goalies through the draft the last few years and we now have a number of decent kids who can possibly embark on HOF careers once Marty is done with his turn between the pipes. 

Another sticker auto, but black sharpie and numbered are always nice pluses and the design is pretty decent as well.

Now that we are back....Let the Luongo talk continue!

I must admit, even though I am happy to have hockey back, I certainly didn't miss the pro-Toronto media we have here in Canada. It couldn't have been 12 hours since the announcement and Bobby-Lu talk had begun again. Don't get me wrong, I love trade talk and if a trade was eminent great, but Toronto trade talks seem to take weeks, months or never happen so I do find it a little annoying at times...

Anyway, here is a fun card about Bobby-Lu. I got this little gem from one of my fav online guys who I will post about later! I went after it because of Scott Wedgewood, but I love the card because of the Luongo seam piece. What is fun is the card has a Luongo Team Canada swatch! Of course, I don't know what competition Roberto wore this jersey in, but I could pretend it was from the 2010 Olympics :) 

The Future is looking bright!

Each year, ITG impresses me more and more. There was an insert card out there in the new Heroes and Prospects that just spoke to me!

Here are three prospects in the Devils organization that have me believing that we can keep up the success after Marty retires.

I found this gem a little while back on eBay. I paid a little more than I probably normally would for a game-used card but still brought it home for a respectable 10 bucks.

This is the silver version of the insert, so they are numbered to 50.

After getting this card, I was inspired to buy a box of 11/12 Heroes and Prospects. The results were pretty good and I will share those in a post soon!
