THE GOALIE PROJECT - Kirk McLean

I'm gonna let most of the pics do the talking here since we have a lot of cardboard to go through. Kirk McLean reigned in net for the majority of 90's in Canucks gear, that being said he was part of the junk wax era. That means I have accumulated a lot of Captain Kirk cards by coincidence.

But hey, I'm never gonna turn down a card even if it is from the 90's and is only worth a dime. Let's take a look at some sheets.


These are the oldest of my McLean's but unfortunately no rookie in the bunch. You probably can't see it in the scan but I probably have somewhere from 4 to 6 dupes in every slot in that 9 pocket page.


The card on the top left is shared with Chevledae. Some more Pro Set and a couple atrocious Score cards.


Another card shared with Cheveldae mixed along with some more Parkhurst. The one thing I really like about looking at 90's cards is the old Canucks flying skate logos.


Probably one of my favourite McLean cards is that one on the bottom left with the close up of his mask. That lid is infamous around Vancouver and overall just sick!


Another thing I come to appreciate when looking through sheets of the same player is the broadness in picture variety. 



Now we start getting into some of the newer Canucks jersey's and the lesser popular McLean mask. 


This last page rounds out my McLean show and tell. As you can see from the very last card I do have a card of Kirk in another teams jersey which covers one third of the project. Plus the almost 150 total cards of McLean in Canucks gear leaves it at 2/3 complete. 

Only one last card to track down (rookie) until I can put a checkmark beside McLeans name.
