This marks the start of another month of This Day in NHL History. For those new readers or anyone who missed the start, here's the story. On April 9th, I posted the first in this series. What I'm doing is trying to highlight an autographed card from my collection for that particular day. So far, I have not missed a day since then. I don't know how long I can go before I have nothing to show. By the time next April rolls around, it will be interesting to see what my total will be. Until then, hope everyone is enjoying seeing these.
