One of the freebies from this year’s PLAAY Holiday Sale was the 1995-96 NHL Season for Hockey Blast.<\/p>\n
I happily downloaded and opened it up on my PC and smiled when I saw the names on the San Jose Sharks squad from that year.<\/p>\n
I then went to print it out and again felt happy to see the team roster.<\/p>\n
And then I went to hockey-reference.com to review that season.<\/p>\n
20-55-7 record.\u00a0 Dead last in the Pacific Division.\u00a0 Yikes.<\/p>\n
I remember going to more than a few games that season, and the seasons before and after that.<\/p>\n
I remember the faces but not the names of some of the regulars who sat around us.<\/p>\n
I remember the loudest CLANG off the crossbar when Eric Lindros fired a shot on goal.\u00a0 Not sure if it was that season, but it was certainly during that time.<\/p>\n
And that Sharks team was one of my favorite sports teams during that period as well.<\/p>\n
With the new Hockey Blast Express I expect to roll some games from that season, maybe not a full season replay, and not just Sharks games.<\/p>\n
The Flyers won their division that season, only to be knocked out of the playoffs by the eventual Eastern Conference Champs, the Florida Panthers.<\/p>\n
If I play out a Flyers-Sharks Cup final, I’m afraid San Jose is gonna get swept by the Flyers.<\/p>\n
But we’ll see.<\/p>\n
Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
