ITEM DESCRIPTION: These game-worn pads were used from the latter part of March 2007, until the end of McLennan's career, being used in both his final regular season game, as well as in the last game of his NHL career. The pads were also used during his time in Russia and likely in his time in Japan as well. It first saw game action in the regular season on April 8, 2007 when McLennan made 26 stops on 32 shots in a 6-3 loss against the Colorado Avalanche. The next time it saw game action was in arguably the most infamous moment of McLennan's NHL career. On April 21, 2007, in game five of the playoffs against the Detroit Red Wings, McLennan was put in goal in relief of Kiprusoff. Down 5-1 at the end of the third period, McLennan was in the hot seat to try and motivate the team. Instead, his emotions uncharacteristically got the better of him just 13 seconds into his appearance when he slashed Red Wings' forward Johan Franzen in the stomach. In those 13 seconds of ice time, McLennan was given 17 minutes in penalties, as well as a five game suspension to top it all off.
