PLAYOFF PRESSURE NOTHING NEW CLAIMS PARENT
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Don’t remind Bernie Parent about the pressure that builds up in the Stanley Cup playoffs because he’ll ask where you’ve been the past month. “Sure, there’s plenty of pressure in the playoffs,” said Bernie, the Flyers’ young goaltender. “But, don’t forget, we had just as much pressure on us for the last six weeks of the regular season. “We beat the pressure then and wound up winning the (NHL’s Western Division) championship. I feel we’ll be able to stand up to the pressure now in the playoffs.” Parent was the Flyers’ starting goaltender as the opening-round best-of-seven series got underway at the Spectrum.

Bruins Climax Best Year In Nine By Setting Rash Of Team Records
The most Important happening for the Bruins this season was their battling third place finish in the National Hockey League’s Eastern Division to gain a playoff spot for the first time since the 1958-59 season. But along the way they did a commendable job of rewriting the Individual and team record books. Although Phil Esposito fell short In his bid to overhaul Chicago’s Stan Miklta for the league scoring lead, the classy center who came from Chicago In General Manager Milt Schmidt’s first major move wiped out Herb Cain’s record of 82 points that had stood since the 1943-44 season.
