Once again, I haven't started collecting sports cards. Collecting is an addiction, less expensive and healthier than heroin, but it can take over your life, so no sports cards. I am, however, the type of person who picks up things off of the street, and when I saw this hockey card, I decided to save it for the Stanley Cup finals. Anyway, there are two types of sports fans. Those who stay loyal to the teams they grew up with, and those who don't. I've lived in Los Angles more than half of my life, but I still root for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Steelers, and Penguins. The Penguins didn't get into the finals, so the best I'm hoping for are good games. Halfway through the first period, Carolina 2, Vegas 0.
So, in honor of the Cup, Petri Skriko, born in Finland, drafted by the Vancouver Canucks and played for them from 1984 to 1990. In 1990 he was traded to the Boston Bruins, and then to the Winnipeg Jets, and finally his NHL career ended in San Jose, playing for the Sharks in 1993. He also played professionally in Finland, and Denmark, as well as for the Finnish national team. He is tenth all time in goals scored for the Canucks. A good career, but not hall of fame.
