Worst Ever Hockey Cards #22

95-96 Skybox Impact, Oleg Tverdovsky, Anaheim Mighty Ducks, hockey card#236 - Oleg Tverdovsky
95-96 Skybox Impact
(back)

It's embarrassing when the NHL tries to be cool. Like the NHL's Faceoff Rocks debacle that kicked off the 08-09 season and featured two artists, Def Leppard and Alanis Morrisette, who were arguably never cool, and have quite obviously not been cool for at least a decade.

All of the NHL's efforts to prove that they are cool through shitty events and celebrity endorsements (with the exception of this one) just remind me that I have nothing in common with 99% of hockey fans and make me wonder why I even like the sport.

This card gets inducted into the hockey card hall of shame for the hokey "Hockey's Hip" logo and the paragraph on the back that makes me want to punch the writer in the face.

Holy crap, that write up on the back is just plain awful.

Isn't there some kind of irony in disparaging people for not being cool while writing a blog about hockey cards?

Looks like the "writer" of the back of the card left a comment as Anonymous...maybe it was Tverdovsky himself. But, Oh baby! He was gonna be a superstar. Does currently toiling for Ufa Salavat Yulayev in the KHL count as superstar?

No, I think anyone can disparage Alanis Morrisette and Def Leppard as much as they want and still feel pretty good about themselves.
