Detroit Not Getting Up For ‘Important’ Games
DETROIT— A sardine-packed house of 15,388 saw Montreal win a key game at Olympia, 4-1, and it was the largest crowd ever to see the Red Wings play at home. Like many rinks, the Wings fit a seat in here and there during the off-season and hence their seating capacity creeps up each year. Olympia lists its seating capacity now at 13,235. The Wings seem to be down more than they’re up for their big games this season…in the last month they had very important contests with Chicago (three), Toronto (two) and Montreal (three) and posted a 3-4-1 won-lost-tied record…and five of the eight games were played at Olympia with the Wings winning only two of them and tying one. Matter of fact, the Wing home record hasn’t been anything to brag about this…

Gulls Flying Again, Set Sights on Third Place
SAN DIEGO— The San Diego Gulls trail the Seattle Totems in their third place battle and Seattle has a cushy home-dominated schedule coming up. So how come the Gulls figure the advantage belongs to them? Five games in hand, a favorable home stand of their own and a rarity for Gulls, a healthy lineup, are three good reasons, for a start. Both San Diego and Seattle are playing. 500 hockey, the Gulls at 17-17-7 and the Totems at 22-22-2. The Gulls have 11 of their next 15 games on enemy ice but each load trip of two to four games is broken up by a home game. Then, 11 of the last 16 are at home. “If we can hold our own over this next stretch,” said coach Max McNab, “we should be off and…
