Klima came to the Oilers in the Jimmy Carson trade if I remember correctly. Carson for Joe Murphy, Petr Klima and Jeff Sharples. Off the top of my head I could be wrong.
Yes, I think you are correct. He didn’t have contract issues with Detroit, he had some discipline issues, got suspended a couple times. He was hanging out with Probert too much! Talented player, died too young.
@@Hockeytube19 As an Oiler fan his claim to fame is winning Game 1 in teh SCF in 1990 in Triple OT. Also, his ridiculous tape job on his stick. I always liked him.
I assume that Desjarnais is actually Desjardins (Day-jar-dan). The Makarov you mentioned isn't the same player as the much more famous Sergei Makarov. In fact, that's his only card in an NHL set. The most notable rookie after 396 that you didn't mention is Arturs Irbe. Franceschetti is Fran-chiss-getty. Michel Petit is Mee-shell Puh-tee. For Yves, you don't pronounce the S, so it's Eev. Topps' cardboard from 1971-1991 was the worst! Their cards would have been so much better during that time if they hadn't been so cheap with the cardboard that they used. I assume you were going to thank me in the video for the pronunciations and then couldn't remember or find my name, so I will say, "You're welcome."
Haha! Yes, I drew a blank on your number and wanted to double check and couldn't find it. Not to worry, I get it right in the next video ;-). Yes, I mis-spoke on "nais" vs "dan," sloppy handwriting, thanks on the others. Correct, I missed Irbe and Yashin, but there were two Sergei Makarov's, #485 and #503, one never played in the NHL, the other did and won the Calder Trophy. You have to wonder about the cardboard, OPC seemed to use a better quality but had so many issues with the rough cuts, was the cardboard too good, or the cutting machine just bad? Topp's cardboard was cheaper, but for me the cutting and centering back and front was always the issue. Take care!
@@Hockeytube19 I think you're confusing your Yashins. The Yashin in this set (Sergei, who never played in the NHL) is not Alexei Yashin, who played for the Senators and Islanders. The more famous Makarov's rookie card in this set is #60. The #503 is an Award Winner card. The story I've always heard is that OPC used to cut their cards using wires, which wasn't a very good way to cut them (obviously). They eventually figured out a better way to cut them because the cutting improved during the 1980s.
@@montrealsports29 I had not heard that, but wire cut would explain all those rough cut edges. I always attributed it to the better quality cardboard was just harder to cut and harder on the cutting blades. Thanks again!
Tim Kerr was a scoring machine. Possessed a very quick shot release, however he was plagued by shoulder problems.
@@georgegradwell42 for sure, great career and still holds a lot of records for NHL and Flyers.

@@jimbobbyhutchinson313 he wasn’t played the third period or the overtime’s until the third one, came off the bench and scored. From zero to hero!

Gretzky for the win. 🏆
And the Neely's for sure.
Michel Petit, Mishelle Petty
Petit = Small in English!!
Thanks!! I’m just too American 😝
All packs can’t be winners!
So true. OPC having half the number of cards than tops doesn't help either.
