The team changed its name to the Oakland Seals in an attempt to be marketed better in the Oakland area. The team changed its name again under new ownership with two games already completed in the 1970 season to the California Golden Seals because California is known as the Golden State.Best goalie mask:Goaltender Gary Simmons wore this sweet black mask with a cobra down the middle.(Image via Third String Goalie)Worst trade:Montreal Canadiens general manager Sam Pollock convinced Golden Seals owner Charlie Finley to trade the first-overall pick in the 1971 NHL amateur draft and Francois Lacombe in return for Montreals 1970 first-round pick and Ernie Hicke. The Canadiens would draft legend Guy LaFleur with that pick, while the Golden Seals drafted Chris Oddleifson who never suited up with the Golden Seals. Ill let you figure out who won that one.Best unibrow: Rick Hampton had a unibrow that could easily be interchanged with his moustache.

The Golden Seals beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-2.Captain: Jim Neilson and Bob Stewart (co-captains)Whyd the move? Despite improved attendance, ownership wanted to move the struggling team to Cleveland. They got their wish on July 14, 1976 as the league approved the move.Relocated: The team was moved to Cleveland and they became the Cleveland Barons.Previous #TBTs:Atlanta ThrashersHartford Whalers(Stats and info from HockeyDB and Litter Box Cats) Jonnu Smith Jersey .
