Here once again is another classic from Overexposed legend Dave Gagner. I don’t know if there has ever been a player with so many strange expressions captured for all eternity on a hockey card. I really feel that if I find every Dave Gagner card out there, I can find a perfect example of every emotion known to man. You may remember some other Gagner spectaculars.
There’s rage, or is that determination? Or lunacy?
Ah, yes, how could one forget that classic card (which you can read about here). But wait, there’s more. Remember this one?
I believe this would be innocence or perhaps denial, which you can read about in greater detail here.
Hell, there is actually a Dave Gagner card from the 1995-96 Sky Box E-motion set where the photo is literally the visual definition of “crazed”. It even says so on the card! Look…
And then there’s this week’s cardboard classic.
This, I believe is surprise. My best guess is some lady in the first row took her top off she caught Dave’s eye. Poor dude just can’t get a break. Damn photog always capturing Dave’s most awkward moments.
