Interesting...the spider wears hockey gloves on his front legs...but no skates on the others. I would have thought skates on all the remaining legs.

No need.  He just shoots webs into the rafters and swings back n forth over them, never touching the ice with his feet.  Kind of like I'd imagine Spiderman would do.

That makes total sense. But if he throws a body check, he gets a penalty every time because his feet aren't on the ice.

I'm actually surprised he's a skater.  He'd make a perfect goalie.  Just spin a massive web over the front of the net and scoot back-n-forth over it.  His GAA would be amazing, but his puck handling would suck, of course.

It's an authentic game worn Portland Winterhawk's jersey, but not Hossa.  It was a #10 that I had stripped and made into an #18 Hossa.  I also was lucky enough to stumble upon authentic 1998 Memorial Cup patch in a conversation with a guy on another Winterhawk jersey.  Thank you - I'm a Hossa nut and it's a total grail for me.

Now hold on a sec. One set of hands for a stick and several blockers/catching gloves. Plus the goal front web.

Plus for giggles he can spin a web behind the goal for people to skate through.

Oh, of course.  He'd have like 3 sets of blockers/catchers.  He could also spin webs to trip people up.  I mean, it'd be a penalty.  But, sometimes you wanna take that penalty in order to prevent a goal.

I think someone's already been doing that to Crosby for years, he's definitely falling on something I don't see...

Good God, let me echo the love for that Winterhawks jersey. That is remarkable. I LOVE the 1998 Memorial Cup patch. They hosted AND won that tournament if I'm not mistaken. I also think that's the last tournament hosted by an American team.

The Spiders jersey is wild too. Those are incredibly rare seeing as the franchise only lasted one season. Every time I see that logo, I think of Arachneon:

My first Pro Player authentic, and I got it for real cheap. 

I'm a big fan of Pro Player jerseys. Nice pickup, especially for cheap!!

Ken you have been killing it lately! 
I'm gonna have to sell a kidney to try and keep up! 

That Hossa is amazing! 
As far as the spiders logo. 
They cover his hind legs,  I'm betting he probably has an old pair of Bauer Turbo's which would explain why the franchise only lasted one season

I bought one about a month ago from @cowboys. Was an easy transaction. I think we were done and dusted in under 30 minutes. If only every jersey purchase / sale was like that

For the record, I was kidding. I’ve had multiple good deals with cowboys as well. I just thought the timing was humorous.
