Hi everyone! December is always a busy time at the Currier household. Between the traditional winter illnesses, two birthdays, and Christmas, that doesn’t leave my wife and I with much time to do much of anything. There’s lots of stuffy noses to blow, things to cough up, presents to buy, presents to wrap, parties to prepare, and consequently, parties to attend. So, now that I finally have a few hours to myself, I am able to make a small update to the site. This week, we are going back to late 1977, and the Cleveland Barons have had the misfortune of playing the rugged Philadelphia Flyers. Things did not go well. There were plenty of fights, and plenty of goals, most of which came off Flyers sticks. You could definitely feel that some members of the Barons were growing sick and tired of the Flyers shenanigans, and luckily for them, the Broad Street Bullies’ heyday was coming to an end. They would still be contenders for several more years, but their goonish behaviour was definitely toned down.

So, that’s it for this week. Hope you are all enjoying the holiday season and are making plans to celebrate with loved ones. And if you’re like me and struggling with a miserable December cold, hang tough; it gets better.

Until next time, stay gold!
