“ Great job by the photographer to capture the action a split second after Thanos snapped his figures and wiped out half the players. ” -bevans
  11
“ Four players and a half dozen fans and Ron is the only one whose face you cannot see. Even on the back it is just a side photo. Also Score, why did you think it was a good idea to white out almost a quarter of the front image? ” -Tscastle
  2
“ All that white on front to showcase the inferior Score logo. The back isn't bad though. ” -freakizon
  2
“ Here's the pitch. Let's take a regular photo with a border and then erase about 20% of it. And replace it with what? Absolutely nothing other than a small logo. BRILLIANT! I love it. Let's run with it. ” -hiflew
  5
“ Hmm not just a simple "He shoots He SCORES!" Score Hockey Card. ” -captkirk42

“ This card could definitely use some more white space. Maybe stick a bunch of Yeti's and a polar bear right in the middle of the card where those people are because I see a little color there. Also is his name Flyers Hextall? ” -ray fosse's ghost
  3
“ Surprising good design for a cheap card set. Pinnacle nailed it with this release...creative fronts and info-packed backs. ” -hamrlik22
  1
“ Not a big fan of this design. Seems like for hockey the white space was bigger than for baseball or football. ” -tenlbpain
  2
“ This is a very nice card. I enjoy collecting Score hockey cards. Most of the sets have nice designs, and for the most part have a low cost to acquire. ” -Brendan Barrick

“ Looks more like a slider than a flyer. ” -Derek McDonough

When I see this card or any Ron Hextall card, I think of Felix “the cat” Potvin. Classic goalie fight

Whenever I see the name Felix Potvin I think of Bob Cole's classic call describing a play at the net during a 1997 Leafs/Rangers game:

"Potvin went down, but Gretzky couldn't get it up!"

Eerie random coincidence is this was posted a few days after the anniversary of the 1985 (November 10th to be exact) tragic death of whom Hextall essentially replaced as the Flyers’ regular goalie Pelle Lindbergh

There was an entire season between Lindbergh and Hextall, in which Bob Froese led the NHL in goals against average, save percentage, wins, and shutouts, but still couldn't keep his job after losing in the first round of the playoffs.
