1982-83 O-Pee-Chee Joel Quenneville


I posted a Joel Quenneville "Card That Never Was" on Saturday to bring my Blackhawks luck. The Hawks came through.  Now to keep that luck going for what could be tonight's Cup winner, here is another card of Coach Q. Quenneville was a defense-man for the Colorado Rockies since 1979. When the Rockies moved to Jersey and became the Devils, Quenneville went with them. He played only one season in a Devils uniform before being traded to the Hartford Whalers.

Although Quenneville was rockin' a 'stache on his rookie card for the Maple Leafs, it was noticeably missing on his Rockies cards.This would have been the first card of Coach Q with his current mustache. He apparently grew it towards the end of his time on the Rockies. That makes Coach Q's mustache older than 72% of the current Blackhawks players.

1987-88 O-Pee-Chee Joel Quenneville


I'm posting a Coach Q card that was missing from his playing days in hopes that it brings my Blackhawks luck in tonight's game.  If it does expect to see another before game 6 on Monday as well. Not that I'm superstitious, but why risk it?

Joel Quenneville sustained a shoulder injury in December of 1986 and missed the remainder of the season. Subsequently, O-Pee-Chee left him out of the 1987-88 set.
