Remembering Breaking Bad and When the Seals Broke the Habs

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is doing well and that the fall blahs haven’t got you down. Don’t fret though; it just means another hockey season is around the corner. I’ve already received, count ’em, TWO different season preview issues from the Hockey News. How much their prognosis could have changed from issue number one in late July to issue number two in late August, a time in which almost nothing happens in the NHL, is a mystery to me, but I’ll eventually get to reading both issues all the way through and find out.

This week, head on over to the articles section for a brand new piece on the famous January 12, 1973 3-3 tie against the vaunted Montreal Canadiens. Yes, the Seals actually picked up a point against this edition of the Habs that lost a total of ten games throughout the regular season and won the Stanley Cup.

On a completely unrelated note, I turned my computer on yesterday morning and the first thing I, like many of you saw was this guy:

Oh yeah, that’s some good old fashioned nightmare fuel right there. You’re welcome!

Like everyone else on the Internet, I thought, WOW, Bryan Cranston has really let himself go. I mean, he actually went FULL Walter White and started cooking and selling meth. And then I looked closer and realized it was some other dude who cooks and sells meth, but seriously, look at the resemblance.

Subconsciously, the image must have stayed with me all day, and as I was writing up a new induction for the Overexposed wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame, I couldn’t help notice how much former Edmonton Oiler Dean McAmmond was a dead ringer for yet another sinister Breaking Bad character. To find out which one, you’ll have to head on over to this week’s induction!

And that’s about it for this week. Hope everyone has a great weekend and takes advantage of the last few days of warm sunshine. Until next time, stay gold!
