Remember a Time When Leafs Used to Win Game 7s? No? You Can Now!

Hi everyone! Well, what a first playoff round that was! I’ve never seen so many surprises and upsets in the span of a week. I still can’t believe Tampa, Washington, Pittsburgh and Winnipeg all fell like dominos. Up was down, left was right, black was white, and the Leafs lost again… to Boston… in Game 7… in an embarrassing fashion… Hmm, I guess things weren’t as upside down and topsy-turvy as I thought.

I was doing a little research in some old Bay Area newspapers when I stumbled across a great article about Game 7 of the 1966 semi-final series between the San Francisco Seals and Victoria Maple Leafs. And since the game took place 53 years ago tomorrow, what better time than now to present you with this great new article. You may remember the article I wrote a while back on the bizarre circumstances that took place throughout the series. The Seals went through a virtual goaltender carousel during those seven games, and the Leafs outshot the Seals by a wide margin night after night. It was a miracle the series was as close as it was. If you’ve got the time, head on over to the articles section to read about the series’ concluding contest.

Thanks to the Easter long weekend, I’ve had a chance to catch up a little bit and write some new material for the site including some new Overexposed entries. I found one hell of a great-looking disaster of a card that I just had to post. This one is almost inexplicable, so you’ll have to check it out for yourself right here. If you’re a Jeremy Roenick fan, or have been to Sunnyvale Trailer Park in Nova Scotia, you’re gonna love it.

Have a great weekend, and enjoy what hopefully is a couple of days of nice, warm spring weather! Until next time, stay gold!
