Certified Blaster Hit

I went into Target today with the boys for some last minute Christmas shopping and treated myself to a blaster box of 2011-12 Certified.  I have strayed away from these in the past as they cost $29.99 for three packs...of course had I taken the time to read the box, I would have realized that each box contains "one autograph or jersey card".   So today I took that leap and bought a box...and it must have been a Christmas miracle because I pulled an auto AND a jersey from the box!!  UN-HUH...one of each baby!!!  OH YEAH!!!  Talk about beating the odds!!!  Bet you're probably thinking that they must be good for me to be writing about right??? 

Lets put it this way...HELL YES!!!!!

The jersey came from a guy who was drafted #2 overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft behind Taylor Hall.  He played 74 games in the NHL in 2010-11 and posted 11 goals and 11 assists in 74 games.  He has already blown away his freshman year totals by scoring 31 points in the first 32 games (14g-17a) in 2011-12.  He also put up 7 points (3g-4a) in 13 games in the playoffs including a very memorable goal against the Lightning where he rushed up the ice from his own end, split the defense at center ice and scored a very pretty backhand goal over the sprawling Roloson...but don't let my description ruin it...watch it in all of its glory:
