Hi everyone! This week, part two of our exploration of the Cleveland Barons’ near death in February 1977. As we left the Barons last week, the team was basically dead and people were having their mail forwarded to their parents’ home until they found out where they were playing next, if they even had a spot on a professional roster. This week, the Barons rise from the dead! Just one day after the Barons’ death was announced, a miraculous resurrection. Unlike most resurrections, from Jesus to Jon Snow (spoiler alert!) where the person’s return is hailed as a great moment that will forever change history, in the case of the Barons we find the most disappointed bunch of hockey players you ever did see. You can read all about how the Barons were saved, as well as a special bonus article about the team’s first game afterwards here.

In the Overexposed section this week, we feature the former Toronto Maple Leaf Leo Komarov doing his impression of a Florida-based creature that spends a lot of time in the water, and I’m not talking about a crocodile either. If you haven’t figured out which animal I’m talking about, and you skipped over the title of today’s post, you can find out here.

That’s about it for this week. Have yourselves a great weekend, and stay responsible and safe out there. Until next time, stay gold!
