Hi everyone! I don’t know about you, but I sure am glad it is the weekend. With last weekend’s trip to the Eastern Townships to celebrate Thanksgiving, and then staying up until 2am packing furniture for our big ground-floor renovations, and then basically spending the next five days cooking on hot plates in the garage, I am glad to be able to relax a bit. If you’ve ever done massive kitchen and living room renovations, you know quite well what a pain in the rump it is. I’m realizing that my “blue” DISC Test dominant personality trait is at odds with the disorder that is permeating my house. That said, we’ve been waiting months for these renovations to get started, so, as they say, short term pain for long-term gain. I’m not happy about it, but I can live with eating on paper plates, searching through bins for peanut butter, washing dishes in the bathtub, and choosing between using the microwave and the toaster so as not to trip our garage power bar. So yeah, times have been… I don’t want to say tough, but rather weird and uncomfortable, and I just want it to end despite the fact that at the end of this ordeal we’re going to have a beautiful new ground floor.
During the Seals early NHL years, there were times when they must have thought to themselves if they were ever going get over the hump and beat the St. Louis Blues, the kingpins of the West Division. The Seals started their NHL history with a 1-17-4 streak versus the Blues, so meetings with St. Louis were often an ordeal. It was no secret the Blues had the toughest, meanest team in the expansion division. Yet, the Seals were able to score 6 dukes versus the Montreal Canadiens during that time, and they were the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions. Sports are weird like that sometimes. Today, we’re going back to February 6, and the Seals are in St. Louis, a place where they had never won, but all that was about to change. You can read all about the game, and its lead-up right here. Thanks once again to Bob Marceau for sending me these articles for your enjoyment.
Until next time, stay gold! And if you’re reading this Monday morning, and the Toronto Blue Jays have won game 6, go Jays go!
