Let’s Talk Conspiracies… Golden Seals Style!

Hi everyone! And welcome to all of the new subscribers who have joined the site the last week or so. Don’t know what got everyone interested in the site all of a sudden – I should probably check out Google or something – but I’m very happy to be greeting all of you newbies!

So what do we got in store for you this week?

I was looking through some online newspaper archives for some interesting new articles I had overlooked in my previous research, and I came across a great piece from the November 16, 1976 San Francisco Examiner. The opinion piece, written by Wells Twombly involves the curious, late-season departure of Munson Campbell, who was then hired shortly afterward by the transplanted Kansas City Scouts, who were on their way to Denver, Colorado. It is an intriguing story about love, deception, greed, lust and… unbridled enthusiasm (bonus points for all you Seinfeld fans!). Or maybe it’s just a tale of a guy who didn’t get along with his boss and got canned. Either way, the story is well worth the read, and you can find it in the articles section.

While you’re here, be sure to check out the latest induction to the Overexposed wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame. I may have to add a “Duh… Duh” display to the wing because this card definitely deserves its own spotlight due to its sheer absurdity. It’s Pierre Plante’s last NHL card, and definitely his worst!

Until next time, stay gold!
