Hi everyone! Now that my second book is in the can and I have to wait until I receive the edited version before I can take it to the next step in the publishing process, I have very little to do most evenings. So, I’ve been puttering around my hockey book library trying to drum up ideas for my next project. I’ve been toying with the idea of a writing a book about some of the more forgotten people and stories of the expansion era, and as I was sifting through some old articles, I came across a story I had touched on in my book on the Seals: the legendary 14-game winning streak by Boston Bruins goaltender Ross Brooks. For most of his three-year NHL career, it seemed as though this guy just couldn’t lose. Game after game, he came up with a W. First, he started his big-league career on a 12-game undefeated streak, and then in his second year, after losing his first game of the season, he went on to win his next fourteen. In Brooks’ 54 career games, only seven were losses, and his all-time winning percentage of .740 is second only to Ken Dryden’s .743. And yet, the Seals were the team to bring down Brooks’ legendary streak, and you can read all about the game in the articles section.

Also, be sure to check out the newest addition to the Overexposed wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame, and it features first-time inductee Ziggy Palffy celebrating something or threatening someone, I’m really not sure. Maybe you can figure it out here.

Enjoy tomorrow’s Super Bowl, if you’re into that sort of thing, and if you do party with friends or family, stay safe! Until next time, stay gold!
