Hi everyone! Well, Trade Deadline Day has officially come and gone, and as usual it was pretty boring, not that that stopped me from refreshing my laptop browser every 38 seconds to see what gem of a trade my beloved Canadiens would pull off. Unfortunately, no real gems today, but I feel not much damage was done either, i.e., no first-round picks for washed up 36-year-old veterans on the last year of their contract, so yay Habs!
Not a huge update this week, but a few interesting additions for all you regulars to the site. In the articles section, I’ve added a new piece that will be of interest to all WHL Seals fans, a write-up of woeful goaltender Tommy Green’s one career game as a Seal. The poor guy was a parimutuel clerk who stepped in for Jack McCartan, who was being rested up for the playoffs. The lowly San Diego Gulls took no pity on the 30-year-old rookie, and you can read all about the game here. There is also a brand new induction to the Overexposed wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame, and this one involves a legendary California-based goaltender, the L.A. Kings’ and San Jose Sharks’ Kelly Hrudey, being photographed in a not-so-legendary position. You might even say this position stinks. Head on over to the Overexposed wing to see what I mean.
As usual, I would like to remind everyone to head over to the right-hand side of the page and vote for the player they feel is most deserving of entry into the Seals Hall of Fame. Vote as many times as you like, but only once per device. Why only once per device? I honestly have no idea. I still haven’t figured out how to set the parameters differently in the survey section, so them’s the rules for the time being. If you’d like to get regular updates concerning the latest comings and goings at Golden Seals Hockey, don’t be shy, and sign up for my weekly e-mail.
Until next time, stay gold!
