We Remember the Atlanta Flames Even Though The NHL Tried Not To…

Hi everyone! I hope you all have been enjoying a great week. I personally cannot wait until tomorrow. I actually get to sleep in (until 6:15! Thanks Gro Clock). Seriously, that is now considered sleeping in; my son was waking up at 5:30 most mornings until we bought him a Gro Clock, which might be the greatest invention known to parents. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, and you have kids, I feel really bad for you for not having enjoyed the benefits of this wonderful device sent from the gods. Also, I’m shopping for a new (ok, used) car! Finally going to replace the squealing, broken-air conditioned, balding-tired ’04 Honda Civic.

This week, I’ve added a new article about one of the strangest games in Seals history. On February 11, 1962, while the San Francisco Seals were in the midst of their first WHL season, the club traveled to Spokane to take on the Comets. It was the eighth game of a nine-game road trip, and to that point, things hadn’t gone so well. The putrid road trip dropped the Seals from 17-27-1 to 18-33-1, and then there was this game in Spokane. Try to guess what the three unusual elements were in this one.

There is also a new entry in the Overexposed wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame. This week, the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Richard Mulhern shows off his fluorescent pink Atlanta Flames logo. If that makes no sense to you, well… it probably shouldn’t, I admit, so go check out this week’s induction to find out how it all totally makes sense. That make sense?

Finally, don’t forget to vote for your favorite Seals personality to be added to the Seals Hall of Fame. You can vote up to three times per device, as you may or may not know. And spread the word to others who may not be aware of the site. Every little bit of support helps!

Until next time, stay gold!
