Hi everyone and welcome back! This week, we’re featuring to of the baddest men to ever play professional hockey. On the Seals’ side of things, we’ve got Larry McNabb, once known as the unofficial heavyweight champion of the WHL, according to Don Cherry. You can read a classic San Francisco Examiner article all about the night McNabb and a referee got into a bit of a scuffle right here.
In the Overexposed wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame, we feature the NHL’s all-time penalty minute leader, Dave “Tiger” Williams, showing us how to stab a person through the ribs with a hockey stick. You’ll have to check out Tiger’s not-so-classic 1976-77 O-Pee-Chee card right here to find out what I mean.
Don’t forget that you still have one week left to submit your entries to win a free copy of the new paperback version of my book, The California Golden Seals: a Tale of White Skates, Red Ink, and One of the NHL’s Most Outlandish Teams. All you have to do is send me an e-mail (stevecurrier@goldensealshockey.com) or a message on the Contact Steve page explaining in 100 words or less why you are the biggest California Seals fan alive. The winner of the contest will be named next Friday, October 9, so get writing, folks!
Until next time, stay gold!
