Hi everyone! Glad to be back, and glad it is the weekend once again! I am so looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow and Sunday. This Daylight Savings thing absolutely sucks. Getting up before the sun just doesn’t seem right now, does it? But that all goes away on the weekend, the sweet, sweet weekend. I’m gonna take back my sleep now, and it is going to feel so good. I wouldn’t say it is anything like getting revenge on Daylight Savings or anything, but I really don’t know how else to segue to this week’s new article.

This week we go back to 1977 to see what the Cleveland Barons were up to in the weeks leading up to Christmas. To be more precise we’re going back to November 30, and the Toronto Maple Leafs are in town looking to sweep a home-and-home series against the Richfield Coliseum’s residents. The Barons? They were looking for sweet revenge! The Leafs were on a bit of a roll this season, challenging the Bruins and Sabres for first place in the Adams Division. In the end, they were close but fell short of that goal, but in the playoffs, the Leafs were one of the last four teams standing. The Barons, however, were not only not one of those four teams, but they were basically counting down the days to the big Minnesota-Cleveland merger. You can read all about the Barons’ retaliation right here.

Hope you all have yourselves a great weekend! Enjoy some games, and catch some “z”s. Until next time, stay gold!
