Well Lookie Here, Mr. Belfour, Nice to Meet You, Sir!

Card received July 11, 2013.  Sorry about not posting but I don't really collect hockey autographs TTM anymore.

Ed Belfour

Retired player.

Purchased at a Carolina Hurricanes preseason practice, September 18, 2011.

After winning the Vezina, Calder and Jennings Trophies in the same year (1990-91), Belfour went on to win 484 regular season and 88 postseason NHL games, winning the 1999 Stanley Cup with the Dallas Stars.  Autographed card serial numbered 0546/1500.

Curtis Joseph

Fan letter sent March 7, 2011.

2/2 autographed cards received May 13, 2011.

Although he never spent more than six seasons with one team, Joseph was able to make his mark in the NHL with 454 career victories, putting him fourth all-time currently behind Ed Belfour, Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur, and should be one of the top candidates to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame beginning with the 2012 Hockey Hall of Fame inductions, if I have calculated it correctly.  I really hate that I only had Coyotes hockey cards and none of his cards from his days with the Blues, Oilers or Maple Leafs.  Maybe I'll purchase some cheap hockey cards from before the lockout next and hope that I can get some of his older cards the next time I shop on eBay.

Martin Brodeur

Acquired through NHL Auctions.

Brodeur is currently the NHL leader in career wins with 602 and shutouts with 110.  He also has the record for the most 40-win seasons (eight), the all-time minutes leader and the record-holder for the most consecutive openers with the same team.  In the playoffs, he is tied with Patrick Roy for the most career shutouts (23) but is 52 wins behind Roy in playoff wins.

St. Patrick

Well, this one I got through Frameworth Sports Marketing. It's one of the three goaltenders' autographs I have, and shows Patrick Roy celebrating his 448th career victory. I have since seen the game that Martin Brodeur won to pass Roy (victory #552), which was actually not his best game he has played, in which he won 3-2 I believe but gave up a goal late to make it more of an exciting game nonetheless. I'll try to get better pictures (I took these with my phone).
