Sleepwalking Referees and Sloppy Seals

Hi everyone! Hope you are all enjoying these playoffs. If you are, you’re likely blind and deaf because you obviously were not aware that the refereeing this year has been beyond atrocious. All I can say is WOW! I mean… WOW! You would think that with double the number of referees from back in the Seals’ day at least one of them would be able to detect a hand passe, cheap shot or blatant foul, but nope. To say the least, the referees have been shoddy and sleepy out there. Reminds me of a game the Seals once played…

This week, we’ve added a brand new article from late in the 1975-76 season. It is a classic John Porter article about the Seals’ March 7 game versus St. Louis in which the teams ended up in a 7-7 draw, which prompted almost everyone in attendance to proclaim it as one of the sloppiest games ever played. While that may not be quite true, it was definitely one of the more interesting games the Seals played that season because of the fact there were fourteen goals scored yet no one actually won. You can check it out over in the articles section.

Thanks to everyone who has cast a vote for the 2019 Seals Hall of Fame. We’ve already surpassed last year’s vote total and there are still two more months to go before the induction is made official.

Until next time, stay gold!
