Reay Says Mohns To Be Key Man In Bid For NHL Title
CHICAGO, Ill. — Black Hawk coach Billy Reay has made no secret of the fact that ex-Bruin defenseman Doug Mohns is one of the keys to his team’s plan for overcoming the one point that has separated the Hawks from the fervently-desired league title the last two years. It was Billy’s contention that with the notable exception of Norris trophy winner Pierre Pilote, last year’s collection of rearguards (Pilote teamed with Elmer Vasko and Al MacNeil and Wayne Hillman were paired) was a bit deficient in a phase of the game Reay likes to stress.

He said: “If our defense can’t hold its own, the fault should fall on my shoulders. I’ve been so concerned trying to developed a scoring punch, I’ve neglected to spend any time with the defencemen.” The Baltimore blueliners, which Crawford points with pride, includes: Aldo Guidolin, the team’s player --coach the past two…

Or Pit Martin and Roger Crozier last year. This year it’s Gary Gunnar Bergman, a prematurely balding blond from Kenora, Ont., chained to the minors the last five seasons. Gary is one of three new Red Wings this season. Roger Crozier and AHL product Bob Dillabough are the others. Like Barkley, obtained from Chicago, Bergman isn’t just out of junior — he was 26 on Oct. 7. But Barkley has become a fixture at the blue line, moved right in with the poise and self-assurance of a…
