Hi everyone! So, the Cup Final hasn’t gone quite as I had hoped… Lots of turnovers (Joel Edmundson, my GOD!), bad bounces, flukes galore, AHHH! This is becoming difficult to watch. I’m not giving up hope yet, but unless things turn around fast, I’m not foreseeing a Stanley Cup parade down St. Catherine’s this summer. I need to clear my mind and start thinking of other things. What else is going on in the world these days? Remember the good old days of January 2021 when all we had to do was turn on the TV and see a nutty orange-skinned President spewing numb-nutted rants on anything and everything that had absolutely nothing to do with the state of his nation? Sure, he was/is a moron, but at least he knew how to distract everyone from reality. I need a distraction bad, man!

Here’s something… What’s the deal with this new “Grand Big Mac” I keep hearing about? Why is everyone in those Questrade commercials look and sound so unbelievably smug that I just want to punch them in the throat? Why does “Ba-Ba Black Sheep” sound exactly like “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and the “Alphabet Song”? Man, the guy who wrote the music for those songs must have made a killing on royalties. Or what about “Here Comes the Bride”? Talk about a song that has been played a lot. I wonder if anyone has ever got married in the middle of a NHL game. Interesting. Did that ever happen in Oakland? Would anyone even want to do that considering most weddings are intimate celebrations with priests and hymns, maybe a city-appointed officiant, probably not a lot of hockey jerseys and pucks in the area. Hmm… quick Google Search… nothing. Let’s check the old personal archives… HEY, here’s something! Someone actually did ask the Seals if they could get married in the middle of a game, and you can read all about it right here. (And here you were wondering how I was going to tie in this year’s Stanley Cup Final to something regarding the California Golden Seals)

I’d like to close this week by thanking all of you who participated in the voting for this year’s new inductees to the Seals Hall of Fame. More votes were cast this year than in any previous year! There will be no site update next week, as I will need to go over the ballots and also create a 2021 section in the Hall of Fame, but the following week will be induction time, so be sure to check us out.

See ya in two weeks! Stay gold!
