Hey there everyone!  As I write this latest entry, my Habs are the last team yet to lose a game in regulation, and that surely means the Stanley Cup is returning to Montreal, doesn’t it?  Doesn’t it?  Shea Weber has been on fire, and fans might actually be starting to forget about the great P,K. Subban.  That guy certainly had a lot of flair, and he was always a lot of fun to watch.  The Seals also once had a defenseman who was flashy, tough, and talented: Carol Vadnais.  During the late sixties and early seventies, he was the guy that every team in the league was interested in getting in a trade with the Seals, but the team always resisted, that is until Vadnais himself requested a trade.  He ended up winning the Cup with Boston in 1972, so I’m sure he didn’t complain too much about the move.  Anyway, getting to the point of this rambling paragraph, check out Vadnais’ 1968-69 O-Pee-Chee card in the “Overexposed” section of the Hockey Hall of Shame.

Also be sure to check out the two new articles posted in the Articles section.  The first is about the Barons’ first NHL game back in October, 1976.  The second article describes the unusual agreement that merged the Barons with the Minnesota North Stars almost two years later.

Until next time, stay gold!

Hockey season is well under way, and my beloved Habs are off to a great start.  If you watched them play last season, you’ll know not to get too excited, but nevertheless, I’m encouraged by what I see.  I know I’ve said this before, but there are new additions coming to the site soon, including articles and a new section that will list the books in which you can find information and stories about the Seals.  In fact, Wayne Gretzky’s brand new book, 99: Stories of the Game, has a whole chapter on the Seals, so be sure to pick it up.  As for what’s new today, as always there is a new induction to the Overexposed wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame, and it features my NHL birthday buddy, Mike Bullard, formerly of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Calgary Flames, and Toronto Maple Leafs.  Enjoy!

Hi everyone!  What a great week this has been!  Hockey season is once again underway, and all sorts of story lines are just waiting to unfold.  Will Crosby recover from his latest concussion?  Will Auston Matthews continue to average four goals a game?  Will Connor McDavid lead the league in scoring?  Will John Tortorella still have a job come November?  Oh, I’m getting giddy just thinking about it all.

Be sure to check out the latest induction to the Overexposed wing.  All you Seals fans out there are sure to enjoy this week’s cardboard crap-o-rama!  This might be the worst ever card to feature a member of the Seals, but there will be more baddies in the coming weeks.

Hello hockey fans!  Well, the World Cup has come and gone, and Canada once again walked away triumphant, not that anyone really noticed… One thing you hopefully will notice is that there is another new addition to the “Overexposed” wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame.  Ever wondered what quirk Michael Jackson and former NHL goalie Glen Hanlon have in common?  Head on over to the HHOS to find out.  Rest assured, it has nothing to do with gliding effortlessly across a shiny surface in front of thousands of adoring fans.
