Hi everyone! Yup, some things never change, and thank God for that. I’m not sure about you, but I absolutely loved it when my beloved Habs came back from a 4-1 deficit to defeat the Leafs in OT. What is it with the Leafs and blowing 3-goal leads all the bloody time? It’s like they’ve cornered the market on horrible third periods or something. If you think that’s bad though, trust me, it has nothing on what the Seals did February 23, 1972 when they blew a 5-goal lead to the eventual Stanley Cup champions from Boston. I invite you all to go read the article which describes exactly what happened on that miserable night. No new article, however, just one that already exists in the articles section. I just thought it was fitting considering the turn of events this last week.

During that Boston debacle, a few Seals players may have felt like walking out on the team and hockey in general, but luckily, cooler heads prevailed unlike on January 22, 1968 when Billy Harris had enough of his prickly relationship with coach Bert Olmstead and walked out on the team. You can read all about the incident in the articles section.

You should also check out our brand new addition to the Overexposed wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame. This week, we feature junior goaltender Patrick Desrochers in his classic 1996-97 Upper Deck rookie card! Just be warned, looking into his eyes will probably feel like Joe Pesci asking you what’s so funny à la Goodfellas. Enjoy!

Until next time, stay gold!
