Hi everyone! Isn’t it great when an underdog, somehow, overcomes the odds and takes down a bigger, meaner opponent? It doesn’t happen often, but if you are a fan of an underdog, those moments stick with you for a long, long time. You feel like you can stand up a little straighter, swagger a bit, chew that gum a bit louder. You know the feeling. Problem is, that feeling don’t last long. Reality eventually sets in and losing becomes the norm again. Where am I going with this? Well, let’s take a trip back to November 15, 1970. The Seals have just taken down the mighty Boston Bruins, the defending Stanley Cup champs. The Seals were talking tall, no doubt about it. It was their fifth win in seven games, and the team was looking like it was going to make a serious run at the playoffs. The Bruins, on the other hand, had different ideas. Not only did the B’s beat the Seals every other time they met that season, all four contests were, well, no contests. This week, you can read all about the Seals’ big win, from the perspective of the losing club, as this article comes from the Boston Globe. Check it out here.

Hope you all enjoy the weekend, and that the weather is warm and pleasant like it is up here in Ottawa. Spring time is just around the corner, and that means the playoffs! May your team be the author of, and not the recipient, of a surprising outcome that allows you to walk tall and chew louder. Until next time, stay gold!
