After struggling in Oakland, the California Golden Seals moved to Cleveland and took the name of a top minor league team that had folded a few years earlier; Cleveland Barons. The team was not well received as the move forced the popular, but struggling, Cleveland Crusaders out of town. When fans didn't show, they had to take out a loan from the players association just to finish the first season. More money was poured into the team to improve the roster the second year, but a 15-game losing streak ended any playoff hopes and interest in the team. After only two seasons, the Barons merged with the Minnesota North Stars who were having problems of their own.
