I don't know if you could say that Saleski is even fighting on that card.

In the big scheme of things, I suppose it really wasn't that long ago that not even goalies wore masks (about 35 years). I know he wasn't the last but I remember Rod Langway of the Caps skating around bareheaded with all those other wimps with helmets.....MMayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09893007769493689849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15421385.post-78582375619199686832008-09-09T06:27:00.000-04:002008-09-09T06:27:00.000-04:00scott and captain canuck, thanks for the informati...scott and captain canuck, thanks for the information on Topps photographers, come to think of it my 70s hockey cards are indeed littered with Washington Capitals.<BR/><BR/>Drew, thanks for the tip on cards depicting fights or post-fight action.
