The Details are in the (New Jersey) Devil

Add this to the incredibly long list of things at Panini America that you simply just don’t see everyday: Hockey acquisitions guru Alex Carbajal on Wednesday wheeling a push cart stacked heaping high with an impeccable selection of game-worn hockey sweaters.

At some point, I’m sure such sights will become old hat. But until then, I’m going to keep geeking out. I hope you don’t mind.

Perched atop Carbajal’s cart-o-plenty had to be nothing less than one of the most puck-marked, battle-beaten Martin Brodeur sweaters in the history of the world, a most heavenly Devils gem from last season that features more tears, scars and repairs than the 90210 zip code.

Of course, the Brodeur was just one part of a bountiful mail-day haul that included sweet game-worn sweaters from the likes of Alex Ovechkin, Nikolai Khabibulin and Tim Thomas.

Judging from the reaction of Carbajal and hockey product development gurus Al Muir and Clint Hall, I wasn’t the only one who thought that cart was pretty cool. Here’s betting you’ll find them just as enchanting when they’re affixed to sweet Panini America card in the near future.
