But leads for the youngest team in the National Hockey League have been hard to protect this year. Boston, with former Seals’ captain Carol Vadnais in a Hub uniform, scored seven consecutive goals to win, 8-6. It was a first-hand look at the trade made that morning and most press box observers felt California made a great deal…
