Hi everyone! I hope everyone had themselves a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. After some interesting moments on some of the Quebec Eastern Townships’ infamously horrid dirt roads, I am happy to say we all survived and have safely returned to Ottawa.
This week, I’ve updated the year-by-year scoring and goaltending stats for the NHL Seals and Barons, which you can find in the stats section. Next up will likely be the Seals and Barons all-time scoring totals, which will hopefully be updated in a few weeks.
Also new to the site this week, a classic goofball card featuring former Quebec Nordique and Colorado Avalanche legend Joe Sakic! As you all know, one of my favorite all-time inductions is the legendarily bad 1994-95 Upper Deck Be a Player set. The thing was so bad I inducted the whole damn bunch of cards some two years ago, but in doing so, there was so much garbage I completely overlooked, and that’s what brings us to this week’s Overexposed induction: the infamous Joe Sakic lunch time slab of cardboard which you can find here.
Don’t forget to cast your votes for the 2019 Seals Hall of Fame. You can find the online ballot just over there to your right, and you can vote up to three times per device, so go nuts!
If you’re one of the many people who bought my book about the Seals this Christmas season (thanks so much for that, by the way!), please head on over to Amazon or any other website that rates books, and leave some feedback. Get the word out too if you know of anyone else who loves the Seals or who likes reading hockey history books.
Until next time, stay gold!
