Darius Kasparaitis

Kaspar is probably (well not even probably, he is) known best for his CLEAN hit on Eric Lindros that took him out of commission for 18 games in 1998.  He is also known for his aggressive physicality on the ice.  Kaspar was a master of the hip check.  He would dump guys every chance he got with a well executed hip into the boards or even in open ice. 

I absolutely hated him when he was on the Islanders for all those years.  But as much as I hated him on New York, I loved him on the Pens.  He was a "disruptor" and those guys serve a purpose.  He wasn't a big point scorer, although his best offensive years were in Pittsburgh.  But he could dish out the punishment.

This card is another in a long line of autos from the Pinnacle Be-A-Player set.  I'm not entirely sure what that signature is supposed to say but if I am to assume it is a "D.", the rest must be in Lithuanian, or Russian, or whatever they speak.
