My God wears skates

If I needed proof there's a special connection between Boston's Patrice Bergeron and my son, Colin, it came when I pulled this card out of a hobby box of Upper Deck's 2008-09 NHL MVP earlier today.

Beyond the fact it's a pretty sweet four-swatch card, that it features Bergeron, whom we just saw last week for the first time since the Bruins forward's nasty injury early last season, leads me to believe the hockey gods smiled upon the reunion.

Sure, it could be pure luck, nothing more than a circumstance of collation rates. Still, though, I picked this box from three. That, I believe, introduces fate.

Bottom line, it's a cool card.
