Hi everyone!

This week, we go back to October 7, 1974 and explore the night the Seals creamed their first of two WHA opponents that exhibition season. The WHA had been around for two years by this point, but the NHL still had plenty of venom left to direct at their rebellious counterparts. On this night, former Seals draft pick Ron Chipperfield, newly acquired by the Vancouver Blazers, was front and centre on this night as his old team and new team clashed. Chipperfield would score 330 points in 369 WHA games, so he probably made a good choice to sign with the Blazers, but his old teammates were not exactly impressed by his talents, as you will read in a two-part summary of the first-ever Seals-WHA battle.

As an added Halloween bonus this week, we have added a brand new scary “Overexposed” card, featuring former Washington Capital Steve Konowalchuk, to the Hockey Hall of Shame. Boy, has it been awhile since we’ve inducted one of these things. I think the last induction was way back in March, so I hope you enjoy it, folks!

That’s about it for this week, everyone. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend, and a Happy Halloween! Until next time, stay gold!
