Hey everyone! I’m at home watching the Sens-Habs game and having just finished my Christmas shopping for this year. Got to enjoy myself a nice long weekend too, having taken Friday off to take in a matinee viewing of Bohemian Rhapsody with my wife. All in all, it has been a good weekend, and now I’ve got myself a few minutes to add some new stuff to the site.
This week I’ve added an updated version of the Seals goaltenders register to the stats section. As you may already know, the NHL has since made all of its game summaries available for public viewing, and anyone who keeps tabs on league stats from before 1990 is busy completely rewriting everyone’s records, from superstars to fourth-liners to back-up goaltenders who have played less minutes than you have fingers and toes. Just about everyone’s stats have been updated, which means that just about every hockey book you have sitting on your shelf is now completely inaccurate. Sigh… Anyway, gradually, everything will fall back into place and our beloved stats will be as accurate as they will ever be.
There is also a brand new induction to the Overexposed wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame. This week, we are featuring an awkward shot of Elmer “Moose” Vasko which may give you a splitting headache, but probably not worse than the one Vasko surely had after this photo was snapped.
Weekly reminder time: Don’t forget to cast your votes for who you think should be inducted into the Seals Hall of Fame for 2019. You can vote up to three times per device, and the voting will continue until the summer, when the site celebrates its 3rd anniversary.
You can also pick up my book, The California Golden Seals: a Tale of White Skates, Red Ink, and One of the NHL’s Most Outlandish Teams here. I don’t need to explain (but I will) that it makes a great Christmas gift, and since there are a limited number of shopping days left, you might want to get on that now.
Until next time, stay gold!
