I saw this card posted on one of the other blogs as a "card of the day" and I absolutely had to have one...how could I not get a card with Poops on it multiple times?
I laughed hysterically when I learned his name was pronounced "Poopa" but this was even better.
And of course goaltender being "guardian de buts" in French makes it all even better!
I just got it in the mail from ebay and scanned it right away...so much fun. I think this may be my "card of the month" for February in fact.
Poor guy... that's a heck of a name.
ReplyDeleteBut it made me laugh too.
I'm still laughing :)
DeleteHaha. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteHahah! What a combination -- and on a Kraft dinners card, too! I'm sure kids all over Canada were giggling when they saw this one back in 1994-95. Thanks for sharing the humor, Billy.
ReplyDeleteI bet they still are!
DeleteGregory beat me to the Kraft joke. I imagine French Canadian kids needed the joke explained to them.
ReplyDeletePossibly...I thought that was pretty much universal though!
DeletePuppa was an All-Star for the Sabres and had a terrific mullet. I need to find this card as well!
ReplyDeleteI have one of his all-Star cards from 1990-91 Pro Set, but not much mullet content.
DeleteI can honestly say that I've never seen a "Poops" card before :)
ReplyDeleteJust think, that's a sentence you can never say again! :)
DeleteHaha haven't heard of him before. Wouod be fun to collect
ReplyDeleteI've got a small collection of him due mostly to his time with the Lightning, which is my best friend's favorite team and he gave me all his duplicates
