Hi everyone!

This week, we go back to March 16, 1970 as the Seals are fighting desperately for the final West Division playoff spot. Things were not looking so good for our green-and-blue clad heroes, but luckily things were going just as badly in Minnesota and Philadelphia. Both of the Seals’ rivals just couldn’t seem to break a tie that year, costing them numerous points in the standings, so the Seals still stood a chance at making the playoffs despite being several points off their pace from a year earlier. All the Seals needed to do was pick up a few wins in the closing weeks of the season, which, as you all know, is exactly what they did. This 2-1 win over Philadelphia in mid-March, the Seals’ first win since February 21, was a huge turning point in the season, and you can read all about it here.

Sorry for the small update this week. It’s December again, which means a non-stop parade of birthdays and Christmas gatherings. And I mean a NON-STOP parade. It seems as though everyone got really busy in March over the last decade or so, if you know what I mean, because it seems as though every kid has a birthday in the 30 or so days before Christmas. And then you got Christmas itself, and all the prep that involves. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great time of year. The kids are excited, the food is great, and it’s fun to unwrap presents, but it truly is a time-consuming month.

So have yourselves some fun these next few weeks, and get out with the family a bit too. The Seals will be back next week better than ever! Until next time, stay gold!
