Vintage NHL Hockey Jerseys for Sale
Vintage Hockey Jerseys are starting to make a big comeback. When the NHL 3rd jerseys were released last year, you may have noticed that a lot of the jerseys werent necessarily new, but rather retro hockey jerseys from years past. Vintage hockey jerseys in the NHL began their latest popularity run when the Outdoor Winter Classics started. In the first outdoor game, the Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadians played in Edmonton. Worn that day were Vintage Montreal Canadians jerseys and vintage Edmonton Oilers jerseys.
The next Winter Classic saw the Penguins play the Sabers. In that game, you saw the Pittsburgh Penguins vintage blue jerseys and the Buffalo Sabers vintage hockey jerseys. The next year it was the Red Wings against the Blackhawks donning their retro hockey jerseys. This last year we watched a couple of Eastern Conference teams duke it out, wearing vintage Philadelphia Flyers jerseys and vintage Boston Bruins hockey jerseys.
I am sure this tradition will roll on, especially now that a lot of teams are wearing vintage 3rd hockey jerseys. Check out a few of them below.

Western Conference Final NHL Playoff 3nd Round MatchUps
2. Detroit Red Wings (defeated Ducks 4-3)
4. Chicago Blackhawks (defeated Canucks 4-2)
The Red Wings are coming off a hard-fought matchup with the Anaheim Ducks. They are getting a lot of scoring from Franzen as well as their character players. The Hawks took down two Canadian teams, the Canucks and Flames. The Hawks are getting scoring from all 4 lines and are being backstopped by Khabibulin, one of the best goalies in the NHL. The Red Wings are well-coached and experienced and have the edge in the series over a very young Blackhawks team.
I see this game going 6 games. The Detroit Red Wings will win the 2008 NHL Playoff Western Conference Final 4-2
Eastern Conference Final NHL Playoff 3nd Round MatchUps
4. Pittsburgh Penguins (defeated Capitals 4-3)
6. Carolina Hurricanes (defeated Bruins 4-3)
The Penguins and the Hurricanes both had long, hard-fought series. The Penguins matched up against a tough Capitals team last round before they blew out the Caps in game 7. The Hurricanes beat the #1 seed Bruins with a brand of tough hockey and timely scoring. The Hurricanes are not making any mistakes when they find themselves with a good scoring chance. These two teams will match up well against each other in terms of speed and physical play. Crosby and Malkin put the Penguins overtop and will lead the Penguins to victory. The Penguins will win in 6 games.
