36 Steve Moore
2003-2004 Ninth Season
CCM/Koho Airknit. Set 2. Neck tagging 56.
NHL-MGG No. B02386
Light to moderate wear on this one. The jersey shows lighter random markings throughout the shirt. The elbows show some light scuffing and damage, with the left elbow showing a couple of decent board burns. There are a couple of small black marks visible in the crest and a couple of small black scuffs in the rear numbers.
According to the set dates, this is the shirt Moore was wearing when he put the questionable hit on Vancouver's Marcus Naslund at Pepsi Center on February 16, which lead to the infamous Bertuzzi retaliation in Vancouver on March 8, in which Moore's neck was broken and his career ended.
The Meigray tag is sewn in the rear hem, and the jersey is accompanied by the NHL-MGG LOA.
