Hi everyone! Still plugging away at correcting the stats and other hiccups in my book in preparation for next fall’s paperback edition, I’ve been unearthing a few new articles and interesting tidbits about everyone’s favorite defunct NHL franchise. This week, I found a fascinating article that explores the Seals’ attendance problems during their last season in San Francisco. When Seals’ fans found out their team would be moving to Oakland, they were none too happy about it, even though it meant the team would be playing in not only a fancy-shmancy new rink, but in a fancy-shmancy professional league. The Oakland Tribune‘s Ed Levitt gives great insight into what was going on hockey-wise in the Bay Area in 1966. You can check it out in the articles section.

We’ve got a great new induction to the Overexposed wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame! In fact, this week we’re inducting an entire subset of cards featuring Vancouver Canucks legend Trevor Linden, who apparently was in need of a personal secretary (or a cell phone) to keep track of daily comings and goings, because that dude was bizz-ay. To find out what I mean, you’ll need to check out this week’s induction right here.

Until next time, stay gold!
