The photos show the exact card and holder you will receive, so please review them closely for condition and centering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe back lists him as a goalie, born June 21, 1950 in Birtle, Manitoba, home Foxwarren, Manitoba, 6'1\" and 205 pounds, drafted from Toronto, six years pro. It credits him as the goalie for all eight of Washington's victories the previous season, a former Eastern League rookie of the year, and a second-team All-Star in the Central League for 1973-74. His NHL totals through 1974-75 are listed as 90 games, 387 goals against, 2 shutouts and a 4.71 average.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRonald Albert Low was taken 103rd overall by Toronto in the 1970 NHL Amateur Draft. He played 42 games for the Maple Leafs in 1972-73 while filling in for an injured Jacques Plante, then spent 1973-74 in Tulsa of the Central League, where he made the league's second All-Star team.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWashington claimed Low with the first player selection in the 1974 Expansion Draft, making him the first goaltender in franchise history. He started the first game in Capitals history on October 9, 1974 at Madison Square Garden and started all eight of the team's wins that season. On February 16, 1975 he stopped 32 shots in a 3-0 win over Kansas City for the first shutout in franchise history, and he was named team MVP. Washington's 1974-75 record of 8-67-5 with 446 goals against remains the benchmark for expansion futility.
