Hi everyone! I don’t know what the weather is like for all of you throughout Hockeyland, but in my neck of the woods, things are really looking up. We’ve had sun and just a little bit of heat all week long, and it’s going to continue throughout the weekend. Haven’t had this type of consistently pleasant weather since last August, and with this lock-down stuff seemingly unending, it certainly is appreciated. The weather, I mean, not the lock-down.

More and more, I keep hearing rumors that the NHL season is going to resume sooner rather than later. Whenever it does, it is probably going to feel like a brand new season, so why not get into the early-season mood with a brand new Seals article from the early days of the 1968-69 season. The Seals were playing the Kings in a game that featured a little bit of everything: hitting, punching, comebacks and controversy. And you’ll find out what the word “puncheroo” means too, so there’s an added bonus for your vocabulary. As always, you can find all Seals-related articles right over here.

Finally, if you’re a Calgary Flames fan, and you love receiving fashion tips, this is the card for you! I’m talking about the classic Zarley Zalapski sittin’-on-the-boards-wearin’-the-tightest-black-shorts-you-ever-did-see card. What, you don’t remember this one? Oh, then you absolutely must head on over to the Overexposed wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame, but be forewarned: you will never be able to un-see what Upper Deck concocted once upon a time.

Before you leave, don’t forget to cast your votes for this year’s inductees to the Seals Hall of Fame. You have until the end of June, so you still have time, but why wait, right?

Until next time, stay gold!
