And it is six seasons since he set the power play mark at 22.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-02543/2754835-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg" title="f0003-02" width="627" height="645"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>BOBBY HULL&hellip; His Place in Record Book Challenged.</b> <span class="photo-credit">(Hockey News Photo by Stephen Newman)</span></figcaption></div><p>But with 18 games still to play there was the 35-year-old Bucyk, playing with the brashness of a teeny-bopper and sporting 41 goals and 49 assists for 90 points and 18 power play tallies.</p><p>Naturally Bucyk would get a great deal of personal satisfaction if he should continue his pace and erase Hull&rsquo;s name from these two categories.</p><p>But his only goal at the moment is to see the Bruins finish on top of the standings.</p><p>&ldquo;Records are great,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;but you can have all the records in the book. They don&rsquo;t mean a thing if we don&rsquo;t win:</p><p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s what I&rsquo;m concentrating on right now, playing good hockey and winning.</p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve all got to keep the big record in mind.&rdquo;</p><p>This in part was prompted by the fact that the Bruins have been shaky in several recent games.</p><p>For example, they jumped on a weary Toronto team for three quick goals in Boston and then had to hang on to win. 4-3.</p><p>But this can&rsquo;t be taken as any indication that the Bruins are running out of steam or lacking incentive.</p><p>&ldquo;I never have seen any team maintain a high level of effenciency in every game over a whole season,&rdquo; says first year coach Tom Johnson.</p><p>&ldquo;There is bound to be a dull spot sometime or other.</p><p>&ldquo;The big thing is to be able to accept those dull spots and still win.</p><p>&ldquo;Well we haven&rsquo;t been losing too many that I can count so I don&rsquo;t think there is any reason to suspect a letdown now that the end of the season is in sight.&rsquo;&rdquo;</p><p>Veteran Eddie Westfall who topped the 20-goal plateau for the first time in his career has two explanations for the seeming lapses of the B&rsquo;s.</p><p>&ldquo;The travel is a factor right now,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We had a swing out west and have another coming up. But I don&rsquo;t think this is a serious situation by any means.</p><p>&ldquo;The other thing is that everyone is trying harder against us with every game.</p><p>&ldquo;Some of the teams are fighting for position and others feel that they can salvage something by beating us.</p><p>&ldquo;But we&rsquo;ve got too much going for us. We have the strength and depth to begin with and while they might be able to put two good periods against us we&rsquo;ve got the ability to put it together for three periods.&rdquo;</p><p>And a guy like Bucyk is one of the best examples to the rest of the squad.</p><p>Game after game he keeps putting out and his charge on the records is only partial payment for his efforts.</p><p>He will be paid in full when the B&rsquo;s take the Prince of Wales Trophy, retain the Stanley Cup and he is voted the Lady Byng award.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

It is hard since you. only get to see a really good game once in a while. Travelling across the country with different time zones has to affect the game. Further expansion with the present long schedule could literally kill the game.</p><p><b>KEN WILLIAMS,</b><br><b>Langley, B.C.</b></p><h2><b>NHL Should Extend Game On Last-Minute Penalty</b></h2><p>I recently attended the NHL game between St. Louis and New York at Madison Square Garden. Heading into the final two minutes of the game, Rangers led 2-1. With 1:48 remaining, Rangers&rsquo; Dave Balon was penalized.</p><p>In this situation I feel that St. Louis should be entitled to a full two minute power play and not one minute and 48 seconds.</p><p>Consider that if a man gets a penalty with 1:48 left in the first period, it continues for 12 seconds into the second. Why then, should it not apply at the end of the regulation 60-minutes game, even if means extending play a minute or two more.</p><p>In roller derby even if a jam starts with five seconds left in the game, the jam will still run a full 60 seconds. Also in football, no game can end on a penalty.</p><p>I feel that the NHL should do likewise and let the game continue past regulation time if there is a penalty in the last two minutes or if the. game is tied or a penalty is called on the team which is leading.</p><p><b>MEL CHASAN.</b><br><b>Flushing, N.Y.</b></p><h2><b>Leafs Should Use Plante Against Top NHL Teams</b></h2><p>We hereby challenge the Toronto Maple Leafs to use Jacques Plante against the tough teams in the NHL, like Boston. It is obvious to us that they are trying to make Plante look good for the All Star selectors. We contend that if Plante is an All Star contender he should play tough opposition and prove his worth. Otherwise the Leafs are just bluffing the public.</p><p>We challenge Toronto not to juggle their goaling rotation in such a way that Plante plays against weak opponents while Bernie Parent must face up to the tough clubs.</p><p><b>JOHN KELLY,</b><br><b>TED GROUCHY,</b><br><b>GORDON JONES,</b><br><b>St. Johns, Nfld.</b></p><h2><b>Fan Picks His All Time Big League&rsquo; Mean&rsquo;Team</b></h2><p>How do you like this for an All Star team? I call it the &lsquo;nightmares&rsquo;.</p><p>Here&rsquo;s how I picked them: Goal, Gump Worsley; defense, Ted Green and Bob Plager; center, Derek Sanderson; right wing, Rosaire Paiement; left wing John Ferguson.</p><p>Because there is no coach bad enough in the NHL to make the team, I&rsquo;m taking the liberty of adding Phil Watson.</p><p><b>SID SEIDMAN,</b><br><b>Bronx, N.Y.</b></p><h2><b>Montreal Has Best Crop Of Future NHL Players</b></h2><p>Every team has been bragging about their top rookie this year. Detroit has Tom Webster and Buffalo has Gilbert Perreault and Toronto has Billy MacMillan. However, I think Montreal has the best young players. Instead of one big star, they&rsquo; re breaking in seven.</p><p>With the likes of Guy Lapointe, Butch Bouchard, Marc Tardif, Bob Sheehan, Rejean Houle, Phil Roberto and Larry Pleau, the Habs have seven potential stars. &lsquo;</p><p>Maybe they will begin to show their value this season when the Canadiens hit the playoffs. If they don&rsquo;t, then just wait till next year.</p><p><b>J.CULLUM,</b><br><b>Toronto, Ont.</b><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

He then cut out of the net and passed the puck up ice to one of his forwards. It was the third time in the game that the Rangers &ldquo;Mr. Zero&rdquo; had left his net and taken part in the &ldquo;live&rdquo; action.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0006-03459/2755011-1-eng-US/f0006-032.jpg" title="f0006-03" width="148" height="239"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 148px"><b>Brad Park</b></figcaption></div><p>Nonetheless, he still chalked up a neat 4-0 shutout, the sixth of the season for Giac and the tenth overall for the Giacomin-Gilles Villemure tandem. Late in the game, Brad Park came to Eddie&rsquo;s rescue when Harbaruk and the goalie got into a bit of an altercation. &ldquo;I had to come to his rescue. He had been bailing us out all night,&rdquo; said Park. &ldquo;No one hits Eddie or Gilles (Gilles Villemure).&rdquo;</p><p>Giacomin has now ripped off five straight since returning to the net after a seven game sabbatical. Emile Francis, the general manager-coach, is obviously following a policy of allowing whichever of his two goalies is playing to stay in the net until he loses. This, of course, is subject to change as the little master manipulates his troops in the stretch drive.</p><p>Francis has been forced to shake up his defense because injuries have left the club short handed in blueliners &mdash; a situation that happened last season. To ease the problem, the Rangers acquired big Dale Rolfe from Detroit in exchange for winger Jim Krulicki and cash.</p><p>At 6-4, 205 pounds, Rolfe is one of the biggest men in the league. He appeared in 44 games with the Red Wings this season, scoring three goals and nine assists for 12 points. Krulicki played 26 games for the Rangers and had two assists.</p><p>&ldquo;Rolfe is a strong, reliable defenseman who plays his position extremely well, says Francis. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s also a good puckhandler, can play either side, and I&rsquo;m sure he&rsquo;ll fit in very Well with the Rangers.&rdquo;</p><p>The trade was the fourth between the Rangers and Red Wings this season.</p><p>Rod Seiling suffered a bad bruise on his left knee in the Pittsburgh game of February 27. He missed the 4-2 win over Vancouver the next night, being admitted to Lenox Hill Hospital, where his knee was placed in traction. Estimates as to the length of Seiling&rsquo;s absence from the lineup, vary. At the time of his injury, he was the best defensive backliner in the NHL, in this writer&rsquo;s opinion.</p><p>In the Vancouver game, Park&rsquo;s skate caught in a hole in the ice and Douglas Bradford strained a ligament in his left knee. He returned to the ice for one shift at the start of the next period but had to quit. Ice had reduced the swelling between periods, but Park still will have to rest his knee for a period of time. Seiling&rsquo;s problem was relieved by the hospital treatment, which reduced the pressure in his knee.</p><p>With these two worthies out, New York has Rolfe, Jim Neilson, Tim Horton, Larry Brown and Andre Dupont on the blueline. Dupont was brought up from Omaha after Seiling&rsquo;s injury. He is rough, massive and hard hitting. His 294 minutes in penalties in the CHL, attests to his willingness to hit &mdash; and his six one, 200 pound frame backs up this willingness. Andre is only 21. Against Vancouver, he drew two minor penalties and wandered up ice too far on one occasion, but we feel sure that Francis will point out this transgression to Dupont.</p><p>&ldquo;I just wanted to let them know I was around,&rdquo; said Andre in the dressing room.</p><p>One thing is sure. Dupont is a National Leaguer, whether with the Rangers or another team, when New York&rsquo;s wounded return. Ab DeMarco, who was in line for promotion, ahead of Dupont, but instead suffered a cracked ankle, was in New York for treatment, since estimates as to his availability varied from three to six weeks. DeMarco is almost sure pop to make the Rangers next season and perhaps help a bit later this year.</p><p>For a time, New York may have to call upon Giacomin and Villemure to add to their heroics. One thing is sure. The injuries cannot jeopardize a playoff berth as they did last season. The Rangers have already clinched this and need only three more wins to become the winningest Ranger squad of all time. Nine of New York&rsquo;s final 15 games will be at Madison Square Garden, where Rangers are 22-1-7, the best record in the NHL.</p><p>The trade for Bruce MacGregor is making Garden fans forget Arnie Brown. Mac, a hustling whirling dervish in recent games, has six points in the last four games, on two goals and four assists. The red lights were his first two in a New York uniform. Brucie. as his mates call him, is a pesky type who always seems to end up with the puck.</p><p>Another underrated Ranger is left winger &ldquo;Albert&rdquo; Irvine, who has five game winning goals amongst his 15 markers. Ted went for a long dry spell back aways, but is straightened away now and flying.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

Giacomin Lifts Rangers, Rolfe Grabbed In Trade To Ease Injury Problem

<div class="byline">BY DAN PROUDFOOT</div><p>TORONTO&mdash;</p><p>Describe the attributes of Dave Keon and you&rsquo;ve pretty well covered the qualities that win the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy.</p><p>The trophy, one of the National Hockey League&rsquo;s seven major prizes for individual players, goes &ldquo;to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability.&rdquo;</p><p>Keon matches the requirements so exactly that John McLellan, coach of the Leafs, has concluded Keon should win the trophy for the third time of his career. Earlier, he won in 1961-62 and 1962-63, and both years shared one thing in common: he had only one minor penalty, as he had as the schedule approached its conclusion.</p><p>Moreover, Keon scored his 33rd goal, tops for his 11-year career, in the 60th game. It was his 62nd point, which equalled his previous best, and he had 18 games remaining.</p><p>Keon&rsquo;s biggest opponent for the Lady Byng is Bruins&rsquo; Johnny Bucyk, who insisted on ignoring the warning posted by fans in Boston Garden (&ldquo;Beware John, Lady Byng Died in Boston&rdquo;) by continuing as a logical contender.</p><p>After 61 games, Bucyk had scored 41 goals and 49 assists. He had served two minor penalties.</p><p>Voters will have to choose between Bucyk&rsquo;s superb powerplay work and Keon&rsquo;s respected penalty killing, as well as both players&rsquo; excellence at their regular assignments, left wing and centre respectively.</p><p>Bucyk scored 18 of the 41 goals while playing on Bruins&rsquo; blitz-kreig powerplay. Keon shot eight of his 33 killing penalties, which erased the NHL record of seven short-handed goals set by Bruins&rsquo; Jerry Toppazzini in 1958.</p><p>Bucyk is known for his power in the corners and his ability to get open for passes near the goal; Keon is known for the way he uses his 163 pounds, and for the moves and backhand shot with which he frustrates goaltenders.</p><p>Keon&rsquo;s opponents explain that he doesn&rsquo;t have to take penalties because of his superlative skills. He uses angles instead of resorting to fouls or contests of muscle, at which he would be giving up pounds. His thinking works, whether he is making passes, handling bigger opponents against the boards, or covering a maximum area while killing a penalty.</p><p>Scoring, according to Keon&rsquo;s thinking, is secondary to not being scored upon. He played some of his best hockey, he says, back in 1967-68, when he only scored 11 goals.</p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m using a few different shifts this year,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s nothing I learned recently. I was always able to do it, I just didn&rsquo;t use them. When things are going well, one has more confidence in himself and tries different things. It&rsquo;s as simple as that.&rdquo;</p><p>Keon&rsquo;s view of hockey is similar to that traditionally identified with the Leafs: force the other team to make mistakes, then take advantage. Check persis-tantly. Hit cleanly. Buzz in and out like an attacking mosquito. And Keon&rsquo;s skating, rated among the best in the league, allows him to do all this successfully.</p><p>Only one active player, Alex Delvecchio, has won the Lady Byng three times, as Keon may. Former Leaf and Detroit Red Wing Red Kelly won it four times, Frank Boucher set the record for courting Lady Byng with seven wins between 1928 and 1935, when he played with New York Rangers.</p><p>Winner of the Lady Byng is selected at the end of the season by members of the Professional Hockey Writers&rsquo; Association in the 14 cities of the NHL.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-01704/2755128-1-eng-US/f0007-012.jpg" title="f0007-01" width="304" height="486"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>DAVE KEON &hellip; All The Qualities</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

Glancing at the other car, my wife and I noticed the occupants, a couple in the front seat, locked in a spirited embrace and oblivious of Passers by in the dark, quiet area.</p><p>Inside the arena, hockey players were preparing to make contact in less loving ways. A sign on the message board pointed out that Chicago defenseman Keith Magnuson was within a few minutes of the all-time one-season record of 273 minutes in penalties. &ldquo;If he breaks the record tonight,&rdquo; asked my wife, Sharon, &ldquo;do we stand up and cheer?&rdquo; I suggested that might be in bad taste, but did point out that one way he was approaching the record was by having a fight every game, so she could look forward to that.</p><p>Four minutes into the game, Magnuson was fighting with the Kings&rsquo; Bob Berry. Magnuson drew five minutes in the penalty box for that one, but despite some heavy checking, a trip, one instance of high-sticking and a couple of cases of neatly-thrown elbows, he did not force another fight or draw another penalty the remainder of the evening. Still, the one bout had been sufficient to keep him on his record pace and, since the Black Hawks bombed the Kings, 4-1, there was no reason for him to regret his night&rsquo;s work.</p><p>Outside the Black Hawk dressing room, Chicago manger Tommy Ivan seemed shocked at a suggestion Keith perhaps went around looking for trouble. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s just a high-spirited young man,&rdquo; smiled Ivan. &ldquo;He gets so keyed up for games, he goes a little wild. He&rsquo;s not a polished performer yet. He draws some foolish penalties. But he&rsquo;s already a fine defenseman and he has the potential to become outstanding. He&rsquo;s far from just a fighter.&rdquo;</p><p>Inside, Keith sat among his scars resting from the ordeal of combat. He is just 23 years old and in his second season as a pro, both up top with Chicago. He came out of Denver University and makes liars out of those who suggest college products reach the pros inhibited by the milder college game. He is 6 feet tall, weighs 185 pounds and while he looks boyish, he also looks tough, though he is a pleasant lad out of uniform.</p><h2><b><i>The Innocent Bystander&hellip;</i></b></h2><p><b>PRESSED, HE STOOD HIS GROUND,</b> though grinning, and refused to admit he looks for fights. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know why I&rsquo; get into so many brawls,&rdquo; he said, like the bookie who can&rsquo;t understand why he keeps getting busted. &ldquo;I do go into games keyed up. It&rsquo;s hard to get up for every game, so I try to psych myself. The day of a game, I think about the game all day. I pick out a player to hate. It&rsquo;s not hard to find someone on every team to hate,&rdquo; he laughed. &ldquo;I get steamed up about him. But he&rsquo;s not always the one I wind up tangling with. He&rsquo;s just a symbol.</p><p>&ldquo;I do play aggressively, because I think a defenseman should be rough. I&rsquo;m strictly a defenseman. I dont&rsquo;score. I&rsquo;m not eactly a Bobby Orr,&rdquo; he grinned. &ldquo;I think you have to get players on the other side leery of you. You can&rsquo;t let &lsquo;em free-wheel into your zone. If you back down, they&rsquo;ll push you around, so I never back down. If they give me the business, I give it right back to them.&rdquo;</p><p>And what, I asked, about those times he gives another player the business first? He smiled and said, &ldquo;If they give it back to me, I may take &lsquo;em on. If the other guy wants to start the fight, I&rsquo;ll go with him. I don&rsquo;t win &lsquo;em all. I win my share because I&rsquo;m aggressiver. On skates, balance wins fights and if you take command and get the other guy to leaning backward, you&rsquo;ve got him. I take my lumps. It doesn&rsquo;t bother me. It&rsquo;s the sport. I hurt my knee this season trying to hit Bernier of Philly. I don&rsquo;t worry about the knee. I feel bad about not hitting Bernier.&rdquo;</p><p>He was smilling and laughing a lot. You could see he enjoyed it. He said, &ldquo;I have no fear of anyone or anything. If I&rsquo;m a marked man, it doesn&rsquo;t bother me. Pressure doesn&rsquo;t bother me. I enjoy playing now just like when I was a kid. I look forward to every game, even the big ones. I love every minute on the ice.&rdquo;</p><p>Asked if he&rsquo;d be proud if he set the record for penalty minutes, he smiled and said, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know. But I won&rsquo;t be ashamed. The fans love the fights, I know. If the NHL thought it was bad for business, it would crack down. And it puts spunk into our team. No one has told me to stop. I&rsquo;m not going to stop..&rdquo; He said, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m a bachelor, but I&rsquo;m no swinger. I take care of myself so I&rsquo;ll be ready for the games. I love hockey like a guy might love women.&rdquo;</p><p>In the nearly-deserted parking lot an hour after the game, we got into our car. We were surprised to see the other car still there. And inside we saw the couple still locked at the lips. Did they take time out to go in and see the game? We didn&rsquo;t ask. It occurs to us it costs a buck-and-a-half to park at the Forum. But that&rsquo;s a cheap date. And the parking lot there is darker, quieter, safer and more private most of the time than most parking places. You make war or you make love. To each his own game.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

Hockey Ad Lib

<div class="byline">BY BILL LIBBY</div><p>LOS ANGELES &mdash;</p><p>Few clubs in any sports ever have been as good away from home as at home. They say the better clubs do better on the road because they have outstanding individuals who are more consistent and tougher.</p><p>The Los Angeles Kings are not one of the better clubs. They are improved over last season, but they still have fallen short not only of a playoff position, which might be gained with a mediocre record, but of a .500 mark, which is a valid goal for a team to seek if it wishes to be considered representative. Mainly, the Kings fall short on the road, though they are a better traveling team than they&rsquo;ve been in recent years.</p><p>After going 8-10-1 and 3-10-7 in the first two quarters of the current campaign, they were 6-10-3 for the third quarter, which concluded the end of February. This is about average for them, though far superior to the disastrous 1-16-2 for the third quarter of last season. Oddly, they lost 10 games in each quarter this season. At this point, they were above .500 at home, at 12-9-6, but were far below on the road at 5-21-5.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-03534/2755242-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="148" height="227"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 148px"><b>Harry Howell</b></figcaption></div><p>This does not tell the whole story. After going 6-6 against established teams on the road their first season, they now have won only two games against established teams on the road the last three seasons, only one this season. Their record for these three seasons in home rinks of established clubs is 2-44-8.</p><p>Even this does not tell the whole story. They are not remotely the same team home and away. At home, they beat Toronto, 3-2 and 3-2, and in Toronto they lost to them, 7-0, 8-1 and 8-1. At a time they had beaten Montreal at home, 7-2 and 6-3, they had lost to them 8-1 and 1-0 in Montreal. They beat Detroit at home, 5-2, and a week later lost in Detroit, 4-0. They were bombed in Boston, 9-5 and 7-3.</p><p>Curiously, in the first three games of their final quarter of this season, the Kings did at least a temporary turnabout, losing at home to Montreal 5-3, and Chicago, 4-1 then winning in Oakland, 8-3. The losses before big crowds at home may curtail their increasing fan support, but this team at least has won a number of exciting games against top teams before big crowds in their own rinks this season.</p><p>Another is that with the victory in Oakland, the Kings had six road victories compared to two for all of last season. Over-all, they had four more victories than all of last season with 17 games to play. They appear to be out of it for a playoff berth, but manager Larry Regan in his first season doubling as coach has done an impressive job and deserves more time with the team. He also needs more help, especially on defense and in the nets. With just a little more, this could have been an effective club, but it clearly has lacked that little. Weakness in key spots has cost the team games it could have won.</p><p>There are rumors the Kings are interested in Sid Abel. What club wouldn&rsquo;t be? But it is a situation that has not been worked out and if it is worked out still may not remove. Regan from the club he has commanded for owner Jack Kent Cooke since its formation.</p><p><b>KINGS THINGS &mdash;</b> Broadcaster Jiggs McDonald&rsquo;s father, John, died of a heart attack, Dec. 23 rd, in Orillia, Ontario, and the heartbroken son headed home. Color-man Dan Avey took over for the popular announcer temporarily with veteran Ed Fitkin sliding into Dan&rsquo;s chair&hellip; Three weeks after being purchased from the Seals, Harry Howell went on active duty the end of February, but may have surgery to remove calicum deposits from his ailing back during the off-season.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

<div class="byline">BY JACK BERRY</div><p>DETROIT &mdash;</p><p>Hold on there before you ship the Calder Trophy to Buffalo&rsquo;s Memorial Auditorium, care of Gilbert Perreault.</p><p>The Red Wings figure they&rsquo;ve got a strong candidate toobut one who largely has been overlooked because of all the problems the team has had this season.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-01717/2755273-1-eng-US/f0009-012.jpg" title="f0009-01" width="149" height="225"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 149px"><b>Tom Webster</b></figcaption></div><p>Detroit&rsquo;s prime candidte is Tom Webster from the little gold mining town of Kirkland Lake, Ont., which has proved to be a bonanza for the National Hockey League.</p><p>Among the many other Kirkland Lake nuggets are the Plager brothers, the Hillman brothers and the Redmond brothers.</p><p>If Webster could just get the Kirkland Lake Alumni Association to run his campaign he&rsquo;d be the winner hands down.</p><p>But the players don&rsquo;t vote, of course. Members of the Professional Hockey Writers&rsquo; Association select the various trophy winners and the All Star team &hellip; and it&rsquo;s an excellent electorate</p><p>The Red Wings admit that but they feel Perreault is being railroaded into the trophy without anyone else getting a look.</p><p>It is true that Perreault&rsquo;s publicity machine has been building steam ever since he played hockey for the Montreal Junior Canadiens and led them to the Memorial Cup.</p><p>You never heard Perreault mentioned without someone adding &ldquo;he&rsquo;s the next Jean Beliveau.&rdquo; That&rsquo;s a pretty fancy tag but the young center has been living up to it.</p><p>Beliveau scored just 13 goals in his first full NHL season and he was 22 years old at the time. Perreault already is into the 30s with goals and he&rsquo;s only 20 years old.</p><p>Perreault really seemed to come into his own in the All Star Game in Boston where he was the second-best player on the ice (behind Bobby Hull) and dazzled everyone with his talent. That performance, plus his fine scoring, could prove to be the Calder clincher for Perreault.</p><p>While Perreault was gliding around old Boston Garden, Webster was watching the game on the television set. He didn&rsquo;t get an invitation &mdash; Gordie Howe went for the Red Wings.</p><p>Obviously Webster has a long way to go to catch up to Perreault&hellip; but not in the scoring race. Webster has stayed right with Perreault in the point chase. After the Feb. 28 weekend action. Perreault was No. 13 in the overall NHL scoring race with 32 goals, 26 assists and 58 points in 64 games. In contrast Webster was 19th with a log of 24-31-55 in only 61 games.</p><p>Just outside Perreault and Webster are Los Angeles&rsquo; Bob Berry and Philadelphia&rsquo;s Serge Bernier &hellip; and Pittsburgh&rsquo;s Greg Polis is proving he can score in the NHL.</p><p>Webster is proving it despite some handicaps. First start with the one he never mentions &mdash; his eyes. As a youngster Webster damaged both eyes when a branch raked the eyeball as he was going through a field.</p><p>See Webster off the ice, wearing his glasses, and he looks like the near-sighted Mr. Magoo. On the ice he wears contact lenses as do a number of other major leaguers including teammates Don Luce and Bill Collins.</p><p>Another handicap has been the constant shuffling of Red Wing personnel this season and now a switch from right wing, his natural position, to left wing.</p><p>Webster has no complaints about some of the people who have been his linemates, however. He began the season working with Alex Delvecchio and Frank Mahovlich. Delvecchio is one of the game&rsquo;s premier setup men &mdash; he ranks second only to Howe in lifetime assists and is third only to Howe and Beliveau in total points.</p><p>Webster started right out by scoring in his first game with the Wings but eventually he lost his job on the top line when Howe&rsquo;s switch to defense was abandoned. Then Webster began moving around on lines getting Bruce MacGregor as center, then Luce, then Garry Unger. The left wings were changed frequently too and it was impossible to achieve any continuity.</p><p>Webster continued to score, though, just as the Red Wing brass predicted when then-general manager Sid Abel and Buffalo&rsquo;s Punch Imlach worked a deal under Boston GM Milt Schmidt&rsquo;s nose at the June draft.</p><p>Imlach had first choice, you recall, and Schmidt thought he had a deal whereby Imlach would pass over Webster, pick a lesser Bruin and then get some later favors from the talent-rich Bruins.</p><p>But Imlach wanted a proven NHL goalkeeper &hellip; and Abel figured Howe&rsquo;s days as the anchor of the team were drawing to a close. He&rsquo;s 42 years old. So Imlach and Abel got together and Imlach drafted Webster, much to the Bruins&rsquo; consternation. As soon as the drafting was done, Abel and Imlach raced to the microphone to announce their deal &mdash; Webster for Roger Crozier.</p><p>Despite an injury each year &mdash; a knee one time and a rib injury the other time &mdash; Webster scored 29 goals in each of his first two pro seasons at Oklahoma City, doing it in 44 games his rookie year and 49 games last season.</p><p>Webster should better that this season in the NHL. He has a quick shot and doesn&rsquo;t always slap the puck. He&rsquo;s had some difficulty with the puck in his defensive zone but seems to be making the switch to left wing quite nicely and coach Doug Barkley compares the move to that of Paul Henderson when Detroit put him on the &ldquo;off&rdquo; side.</p><p>During training camp nearly everyone figured Webster would wind up on left wing because Detroit already had Howe, Wayne Connelly and Bruce MacGregor on the right side. Now Connelly and MacGregor are gone in trades&hellip; and Webster has been moved to left wing. The reason is the addition of Mickey Redmond and Bill Collins in trade and the callup of Renald LeClerc from Fort Worth.</p><p>Webster has made more moves than Marco Polo but he&rsquo;s handled all of them well and the Wings figure he deserves a long look from the electors.</p><p><b>RED WING NOTES:</b> The teenyboppers oohed and the rest of the fans booed when St. Louis made its first appearance in Detroit after two deals between the clubs &hellip; the &ldquo;ooohs&rdquo; were for mod center Garry Unger with his fan club of young girls out in full force with cameras, banners and hearts on sleeves.</p><p>The boos were for hockey&rsquo;s retirement leader, Carl Brewer, who quit the Wings on the eve of training camp with a year left on a contract believed to call for $70,000 annually.</p><p>Brewer was booed every time he stepped on the ice.</p><p>Incidentally, the Blues announced that the Brewer acquisition was part of the Unger-Berenson trade &hellip; and Red Wing general manager Ned Harkness said it had nothing to do with it. that St. Louis was given permis-sion to talk to Brewer prior to the trade.</p><p>Harkness said the Wings received cash and will receive more than one player for Brewer following the June draft &hellip; that could involve players already in the St. Louis system or draft choices.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

<div class="byline">BY BOB VERDI</div><p>CHICAGO &mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>T</span>he Black Hawks quest tor more muscle at center ice culminated in late February, although it was still another Chicago injury which provided the final impetus for the transaction which brought young Danny O&rsquo;Shea from the Minnesota North Stars.</p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;d had our eyes out for center help for some time,&rdquo; said General Manager Tommy Ivan. &ldquo;But with (Lou) Angotti out, and then (Pit) Martin getting hurt, we were in bad shape. So we had to make a move.&rdquo;</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-01736/2755373-1-eng-US/f0010-012.jpg" title="f0010-01" width="147" height="241"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 147px"><b>Danny O&rsquo;Shea</b></figcaption></div><p>Enter O&rsquo;Shea, 25, 6-foot-l, 190 pounds. Dealt to the Stars were Doug Mohns, a veteran defenseman-left wing, and Terry Caf-fery, a young pivot with the Hawks&rsquo; Dallas affiliate in the Central League.</p><p>O&rsquo;Shea immediately was inserted in Martin&rsquo;s spot between left wing Dan Maloney and right wing Jim Pappin. Martin, whom Reay praises as the &ldquo;one man I hate to lose,&rdquo; was sidelined indefinitely with a painful rib injury bruise.</p><p>Martin, of course, is on the small side as is Stan Mikita &mdash; altho both are All Stars. Talented Bryan Campbell is the Hawks&rsquo; other center, and a bit bigger. Although his scoring output has declined after a quick start, his linemates &mdash; right wing Chico Maki and left wing Bobby Hull &mdash; were clicking, and Campbell deserved at least some credit for that. Besides, he wasn&rsquo;t playing badly.</p><p>Logically, then, Reay was asked what would happen when everybody was healthy again. Logically, the coach replied: &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been asked that all season, but I haven&rsquo;t had to worry about it &mdash; not with all the injuries we&rsquo;ve had.&rdquo;</p><p>O&rsquo;Shea, a fine skater, was in his third season with the Stars. He came to the Hawks with 14 goals and 12 assists this campaign; his aggregate the previous two seasons was 25 goals, 58 assists, 83 points. His reputation is that of a strong defensive player.</p><p>&ldquo;I guess you could say that if I have a strength, it&rsquo;s as a checker.&rdquo; O&rsquo;Shea said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been put against the other top centers as a rule.&rdquo;</p><p>The handsome O&rsquo;Shea, an addition to the Chicago corps of eligible bachelors, admitted that he was &ldquo;a little shocked at being traded. I had no inkling of it. Recently I had a meeting with (Minnesota coach) Jack Gordon, and he said that I was a part of the nucleus for the future. But trades are part of being a professional player. There&rsquo;s no real security. I&rsquo;m thinking positively with the Hawks, and my main objective is to help them win the Stanley Cup.&rdquo;</p><p>O&rsquo;Shea played with a variety of wingers with the Stars. This, plus defensive role, undoubtedly cramped his offensive chances.</p><p>The most painful part of the trade for the Hawks was the loss of Mohns, a real pro.</p><p>Even Ivan, himself a veteran who&rsquo;s made many a trade, had emotion in his voice when he stated that &ldquo;we hate to lose Mohns. He has been a great hockey player and individual with us for many years. It&rsquo;s too bad that things like this have to happen, but the North Stars wanted him badly. It&rsquo;s part of the game.&rdquo;</p><p>After 11 seasons with Boston, Mohns joined the Hawks in 196465 in a trade for Reg Fleming and Ab MacDonald. He became part of the productive &ldquo;Scooter Line&rdquo; with Mikita and right wing Ken Wharram (now retired) and notched 20 or more goals in four straight campaigns. Last year, playing a lot of defense, he had 6 goals. This year, he missed 20 games because of injury, was seeing just spot duty, and haa four tallies.</p><p>But he was immensely popular, and the entire Hawk team was elated when news came that the 38-year-old Mohns had scored in his first game as a North Star.</p><p>He was an intense worker, and even when injured, drilled hard to stay in shape.</p><p>&ldquo;My head was in a whirl when I heard about the trade,&rdquo; Mohns admitted. &ldquo;You stay in one place for a while, and you forget that it can happen. Then, so quick, everything changes &mdash; your whole outlook, your whole situation. For a while I thought I might not report, but then I talked to Wren Blair (Stars&rsquo; GM) and talked it over, I was stunned.&rdquo;</p><p>Mohns confessed that he naturally was disappointed about the money he might lose by leaving a first place team, but he was far from bitter.</p><p>&ldquo;The Black Hawk organization treated me beautifully,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;And they had to do what they did. I couldn&rsquo;t ask to be associated with a finer group of people.&rdquo;</p><p>The Hawks family very definitely felt the same about Mohns.</p><p><b>HAWK-EY TALK:</b> Caffery, 22, had 12 goals at Dallas. He was up with the Black Hawks for six games a season ago&hellip; Hawks called up mammoth Rick Foley, a 225-pound defenseman, for a two-game &ldquo;look-see&rdquo; trial in Oakland and Los Angeles. Then he was returned to Portland of the Western League &hellip; When Mohns left the Hawks, he needed 16 goals to reach the 250 plateau &hellip; O&rsquo;Shea was a member of the Oshawa team in Ontario Junior League some years back. &ldquo;I regarded him as their second best player,&rdquo; Reay smiled. &ldquo;The best was Bobby Orr.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

But, even if a goalie&rsquo;s hot and he&rsquo;s playing an awful lot, it&rsquo;s better to give him a rest if he&rsquo;s starting to get overworked.&rdquo;</p><p>Favell had a streak of rather good fortune the first few weeks following the Parent trade. He had posted five victories and a tie in eight starts.</p><p>Still, he realizes that the first time he has a really, bad night, the Spectrum fans will respond with catcalls that the club made a mistake in trading away Parent and keeping Favell.</p><p>&ldquo;This undoubtedly will happen,&rdquo; sighed Doug. &ldquo;If I have a bad night, I know that the fans will react like that. This is how fans are. I won&rsquo;t let it bother me though. I&rsquo;ll just try to do my best. That&rsquo;s all I can do.&rdquo;</p><p>It was Favell&rsquo;s capable goaltending which had given the Flyers a boost just when they needed it most along the tail-end of the rugged schedule.</p><p>The club was bouncing from third place to fifth for quite awhile, realizing full well that only two of the three teams in the playoff fight &mdash; the Flyers, Minnesota and Pittsburgh &mdash; would make it.</p></div><div style="clear: both;"><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></div>

Flyers Need Big Games From Favell To Make It

<p>PHILADELPHIA&mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>I</span>t is near the end of another hockey season and the start of another long summer of bewilderment for a scrappy, hustling young center named Jamie Kennedy.</p><p>Oh, Jamie doesn&rsquo;t play for the Flyers. He plays across the river in South Jersey for the lowly Jersey Devils of the Eastern League. He has been playing for them the last three years and he has been one of their most consistent goal scorers.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0011-02672/2755487-1-eng-US/f0011-022.jpg" title="f0011-02" width="146" height="234"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 146px"><b>Jamie Kennedy</b></figcaption></div><p>This year, at last look, Jamie has scored 45 goals with six games remaining after scoring 49 last season and 40 in his first year in the league.</p><p>The question is: What does the guy have to do to get a break and be turned pro?</p><p>True, it&rsquo;s a wide open league but they play some tough hard-nosed hockey and the 24-year-old forward has become as hard-nosed as the rest.</p><p>&ldquo;All I want is a chance to go to a pro camp and prove what I can do,&rdquo; said Jamie, youngest brother of volatile Forbes, who played for the Flyers at one time. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s all I ask. If I can&rsquo;t make the grade, I&rsquo;ll be content to stay in Jersey.&rdquo;</p><p>Hockey experts probably feel that perhaps Kennedy, at 5-9 and 175 pounds. has size against him.</p><p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s a lot of nonsense,&rdquo; he retorts. &ldquo;There are guys a lot smaller than me playing regularly in the pro ranks, and right in the NHL. I&rsquo;m not that small but, even if I were, I feel I can more up for it in other ways. I feel I&rsquo;ve been doing it in the Eastern League.&rdquo;</p><p>If Kennedy sounds bitter, he should be. He has every right to a chance in the pro ranks on what he has accomplished over the past three seasons. He hasn&rsquo;t got it yet and, as time goes by, his chances diminish.</p><p>This is because NHL teams would hate to waste a draft choice on an older player because they&rsquo;d rather go with someone much younger.</p><p>Those who have seen both Jamie and Forbes in action contend that Jamie has a distinct advantage over his older brother because he knows where the net is. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s almost as scrappy as Forbes and I&rsquo;d say a better skater,&rdquo; said one observer. &ldquo;And. while he&rsquo;s not as explosive as Forbes, he does mix it up on the ice.&rdquo;</p><p>Jamie Kennedy has proven in his three years in the EHL that he deserves a chance to play in the American, Central or Western Leagues. He should be given that opportunity.</p><p>And he shouldn&rsquo;t have to wait much longer, either.</p><p>&mdash;CONRAD<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

<div class="byline">BY DWAYNE NETLAND</div><p>TWIN CITIES&mdash;</p><p>For the Minnesota North Stars, it ws an agonizing week of pain and disappointment for the National Hockey League club.</p><p>They were involved in two major trades which included six players and the departure of two veteran regulars, and they lost their outstanding young defenseman, Fred Barrett, for the season with a broken leg and goaler Gump Worsley landed in hospital with a pulled groin muscle that could sideline him indefinitely.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0013-01694/2755741-1-eng-US/f0013-012.jpg" title="f0013-01" width="144" height="249"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 144px"><b>Fred Barrett</b></figcaption></div><p>Barrett suffered a fractured left thigh bone when he slammed into the goal post at 14:14 of the third period attempting to block a shot by Billy Collins in a 4-2 Minnesota victory over the Detroit Red Wings at Metropolitan Sports Center.</p><p>He was taken to Methodist Hospital, where the fracture was set and a full-leg cast applied that he must wear for three months.</p><p>Barrett&rsquo;s injury came just three days after a hectic transaction of talent negotiated by Wren Blair, the Minnesota general manager.</p><p>Blair sent Danny O&rsquo;Shea, a regular center with the North Stars for three seasons, to the Chicago Black Hawks for 37&mdash;year-old Doug Mohns and Terry Caffery, a 21-year-old center playing with Chicago&rsquo;s Dallas club in the Central Hockey League.</p><p>Two hours later, the North Stars announced the acquisition from California of 34-year-old center Ted Hampson in exchange for Tommy Williams, who had been dropped from Minnesota&rsquo;s active roster three weeks previously for insubordination, and a player to be named at the conclusion of the season.</p><p>Mohns had just barely reported to the North Stars when he scored a goal in the first period of a 5-1 win over Los Angeles, and Hampson picked up two assists. The next night, in a 1-1 tie at Toronto, Hampson assisted on Buster Harvey&rsquo;s tying goal with 2:17 left.</p><p>&ldquo;I was treated very well by Fred Glover in Oakland,&rdquo; said Hampson, who had been the California captain. &ldquo;But I think it was a break for me to go to Minnesota.&rdquo;</p><p>Hampson was the 1969 recipient of the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, in honor of the former Minnesota center who died as the result of an injury against the Seals on Jan. 13, 1968. The trophy is awarded annually to the player most symbolic of &ldquo;perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.&rdquo;</p><p>That tells you something about Hampson, and so does the comment of Glover, the California coach and general manager. &lsquo;We needed some more speed,&rdquo; Glover said, &ldquo;and Williams will provide that. But I hated to let Hampson go. He had a quality that is becoming rare among professional hockey players these days: humility.&rdquo;</p><p>Hampson filled in during his first two games for the suspended Jude Drouin, and upon Drouin&rsquo;s return he moved to center a line of J.P. Parise and Harvey.</p><p>Mohns, serving his 18th season in the NHL, had played only sporadically with the Black Hawks this year.</p><p>&ldquo;I gave one quick thought to retiring when I heard of the trade,&rdquo; said the articulate Mohns. &ldquo;Then I put that aside, because I know I&rsquo;ve got a lot of good hockey ahead of me. I think it would be very interesting if the North Stars finish third in the West and get a crack at Chicago in the playoffs.&rdquo;</p><p>O&rsquo;Shea had played well enough for Minnesota, with 14 goals, but the North Stars needed scoring help at left wing and were willing to give him up to get it. Mohns, who played three solid games for the Stars after reporting, may also be used some at defense now that Barrett is out for the season.</p><p>Barrett&rsquo;s injury left the North Stars shaken. The impact of it was particularly noticeable on Ted Harris, Minnesota&rsquo;s captain and Barrett&rsquo;s blueline partner.</p><p>Harris had also been on the ice a year and three days earlier when his fellow defenseman with the Montreal Canadiens, Serge Savard, suffered a leg fracture in a game against New York at the Forum.</p><p>&ldquo;It was exactly the same type of play,&rdquo; Harris recalled. &ldquo;Barrett was skating across the goal mouth trying to block a shot when he hit the post. Savard was doing the same thing. I&rsquo;ll never forget the sight of either one of them lying there.&rdquo;</p><p>The first Minnesota player to reach the stricken Barrett was Danny Grant.</p><p>&ldquo;His left leg was crumpled,&rdquo; Grant said, &ldquo;and his right leg was tangled in the netting. I could tell he was in awful pain. All he said to me was, &lsquo;Danny, it&rsquo;s broken&rsquo;.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

<div class="byline">BY CHARLEY BARTON</div><p>BUFFALO &mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>A</span>s the National Hockey League schedule moves into its closing weeks, it is clear the Buffalo Sabres will soon be included among the more successful franchises.</p><p>In their first year, the Sabres are a smash hit at the box office, and have enjoyed far more success, artistically, than even their most ardent supporters could have imagined.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-01692/2755886-1-eng-US/f0014-012.jpg" title="f0014-01" width="151" height="238"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Gerry Meehan</b></figcaption></div><p>In 33 home dates in Memorial Auditorium, where seating this season is restricted to 10,429, the Sabres have played to 17 sellouts. Six home games remain, and the prospects are strong all six will be sold out, boosting the season total to 23.</p><p>The Sabres will play to some 350,000 paid patrons at home, considerably more than at least four of six clubs drew in the first year of the original expansion program four years ago.</p><p>While the league is reluctant to divulge the attendance figures of the first phase expansion teams, it is almost certain the Sabres will outdraw California. Los Angeles, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.</p><p>Only St. Louis and Minnesota, with larger capacities, outdrew the Sabres in their first seasons.</p><p>With the seating capacity in Memorial Auditorium moving to 15,000-plus next season, the Sabres will take their place with the others. The season ticket total, now slightly over 6,000 is expected to reach the 10,000 plateau.</p><p>While Buffalo has been certified as a big league hockey town at the box office, Punch Imlach, the Sabres&rsquo; general manager and coach, has established several other vital factors on the ice.</p><p>1.&mdash;Center Gilbert Perreault will become a super-star.<br>2.&mdash;Roger Crozier and Joe Daley give the team the superior goaltending it needs.<br>3&mdash;Perreault, Crozier, Daley, Gerry Meehan and Doug Barrie will form the foundation of future Buffalo teams. Meehan is a top scoring center and Barrie is a defenseman.</p><p>With 14 games remaining in the 78-game schedule, the Sabres have a record of 17 wins, 11 ties and 36 defeats. When the season started, the &ldquo;experts&rdquo; agreed the Sabres would be fortunate to win between 10 and 15 games.</p><p>The Sabres already have won five road games, and with any kind of a break could have won two others in Detroit and one in Montreal.</p><p>In Salt Lake City, the Sabres have a number of bright prospects in the Western Hockey League.

<p>MONTREAL&mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>T</span>he worst snowstorm within memory around Montreal wound up making hockey history. For the first time in 54 NHL seasons, a game had to be postponed due to weather conditions and the Vancouver &mdash; Canadiens show at the Forum March 4 was set back five days to March 9.</p><p>A complete breakdown in public transportation and impossible driving conditions caused Canadiens to call the game at the request of the City of Montreal. So the Canucks, on a suicide road run of seven games in 11 days and in from Toronto, just made it out of Montreal to travel for weekend games at Minnesota and Buffalo.</p><p>In turn, the Canucks got permission to postpone their next home game against Detroit until March 11 following their return west from Montreal.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

National Hockey League SUMMARIES

TREMBLAY &hellip; Sets Club Record</b></figcaption></div><p>MONTREAL&mdash;</p><p>Henri Richard said it for everyone.</p><p>&ldquo;At least we can be sure of waiting for the mailman next June. Maybe he won&rsquo;t bring much. But by the way this team has been playing, he might bring a lot.&rdquo;</p><p>The veteran centre was enjoying the idea of Canadiens clinching a playoff berth. He thought back to last summer when the postman didn&rsquo;t ring at the Habs&rsquo; doors after they missed the playoffs for the first time in 22 years.</p><p>While there has been little doubt about Montreal making the Stanley Cup rounds by merit of their play in the second half of the schedule, the Canadiens erased any of it in an impressive weekend of afternoon triumphs. They whipped Los Angeles Kings 8-2 at the Forum, then travelled to Detroit for a 4-1 triumph.</p><p>It was a turnabout from a 4-0 upset at Pittsburgh which halted an unbeaten string of eight wins and a tie. So overall, in front of Rogatien Vachon&rsquo;s steady goaltending, the Canadiens had a record of 10 wins, one loss and a tie</p><p>&ldquo;Sure we thought of mathematically clinching a playoff spot.&rdquo; said coach Al MacNeil in delight after his team&rsquo;s victory at Detroit &mdash; their first on the road over an old NHL rival all season. &ldquo;At the same time we haven&rsquo;t lost the scent of catching New York for second place.&rdquo;</p><p>At Olympia, where the club ironically announced the callup o&rsquo; Voyageurs&rdquo; goalie Ken Dryden for the balance of the season. Vachon came up with another big performance. Only a deflected shot by Wings&rsquo; defenceman Arnie Brown spoiled his shutout late in the third period. The one-goal left Vachon with an impressive showing of only 23 goals against in the dozen games.</p><p>&ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t find any passengers in the two games &mdash; we got a solid effort from everyone,&rdquo; said coach MacNeil after twin killing the Kings and Wings.</p><p>He could have added that the Habs haven&rsquo;t had any &ldquo;passengers&rdquo; for weeks in their drive to top form before the playoffs.</p><p>Besides clutch goaltending, the defense has been almost superb with the duo of Jacques Laperriere and Terry Harper playing as well, if not better than ever in their eight NHL seasons. Rookie Guy Lapointe has regained much of the form he showed at the start of the schedule and Jean Claude Tremblay continues to emerge as the top All-Star defense candidate next to Bobby Orr.</p><p>With two goals and an assist against Los Angeles, Tremblay broke Montreal&rsquo;s one-season scoring record for a defenseman. He ran his total to nine goals and 43 assists, thereby beating the 50-point mark set by Doug Harvey in 1956-57.</p><p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a wonderful feeling to pass a great player like Doug.&rdquo; said J.C. in tribute to the seven-time Norris Trophy Winner. &ldquo;But I guess, this is the best season I have ever had.&rdquo;</p><p>While MacNeil has been under scrutiny as a coach ever since he took over from Claude Ruel in early December, he appears to be doing a good job. Evidence shows in the balanced scoring which the Habs have managed in MacNeil&rsquo;s, makeup of forward lines and switching of personnel.</p><p>The Canadiens have returned to the point where if one line doesn&rsquo;t score, another trio gets the job done. MacNeil has found three dependable units lately after shrugging off much criticism about shuffling players from game to game.</p><p>Captain Jean Beliveau continues to pick up points as team leader on a line with Frank Mahovlich and rookie Phil Roberto. Peter Mahovlich has been having an unbelievable season with Yvan Cournoyer and John Ferguson on the wings &mdash; the latter starting to merit points through hard work.</p><p>Richard had his best game in years with a goal and four assists against Los Angeles.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

EASTERN HOCKEY SCHOOL WORCESTER ARENA—WORCESTER, MASS.

<div class="byline">BY BARON YAKE</div><p>PITTSBURGH&mdash;</p><p>The Penguins seem to be folding down the stretch at a time when they can ill afford that luxury.</p><p>With 15 games remaining, the Pens were five points back of both Minnesota and Philadelphia for that money playoff spot &mdash; fourth place.</p><p>And the reason for falling behind was the lack of a defense which Coach Red Kelly attributed to &ldquo;some guys on this club who think if they score goals they don&rsquo;t have to worry about defense.&rdquo;</p><p>The Penguins could use a rash of injuries as an excuse, but they wouldn&rsquo;t want to do that. That&rsquo;s part of the game. And when somebody&rsquo;s out, somebody else should pick up the slack.</p><p>The Pens won a tough 5-4 game with Chicago at home on Feb. 13. After that they had only two ties and five losses to show for their next seven games.</p><p>The thing that hurt most was that they were scoing goals, but blowing leads.</p><p>Against Buffalo they lost a three-goal lead and settled for a 6-6 tie.</p><p>Then against St. Louis, the Penguins blew a two-goal third period lead and tied the Blues 5-5.</p><p>New York shut them out 2-0 and 4-0 on successive Saturdays at home. Detroit mopped them up 4-2. And on it went.</p><p>After St. Louis, Kelly tried to brave the storm he felt inside.</p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re grateful for the one point&rdquo; he said, hoping to avoid a discussion of the obvious.</p><p>But he couldn&rsquo;t deny it.</p><p>&ldquo;Something&rsquo;s drastically wrong when we have a three-goal lead in Buffalo and blow it, when we have a two-goal lead here and blow it.</p><p>&ldquo;Our defense played poorly and that doesn&rsquo;t mean just defensemen,&rdquo; he said.</p><p>The Penguins returned home for a two-week stand as of this writing, and things&rsquo;should look brighter.</p><p>But a look at the schedule doesn&rsquo;t make the task as easy as it sounds, although Penguin crowds are bigger, more supportive than ever.</p><p>Their schedule for the two weeks which included six games, looked like this: Montreal, Boston, California the afternoon following the Boston game, Philadelphia, Minnesota and a rematch with Montreal.</p><p>The two games with the Flyers and North Stars were and are the crucial games. If after that time, there is as much space between the Penguins and them, the possibilities for making the playoffs will be remote.</p><p>To be fair, injuries have hurt.</p><p>Ken Schinkel, who suffered a broken shoulder at the end of December, bruised the same shoulder the first night back on the ice. It was not known how long he would be out. Bryan Watson remains out with a broken leg, probably for the season.</p><p>Then Keith McCreary, who along with rookie Greg Polis, led the club in goals scored with 18, suffered a mysterious back injury which he said momentarily para-lyzed a leg and his back.

THE NHL SCENE

<div class="byline">BY HAL SIGURDSON</div><p>VANCOUVER&mdash;</p><p>For the first time in National Hockey League history a regularly scheduled game will be shown before a closed circuit television audience.</p><p>Remarkably, the precedent setting event will take place in Vancouver, home of the first-year Canucks.</p><p>Fan acceptance of the last place expansion team has been so overwhelming, team vicepresident Lyman Walters has decided to show three games sold out at the Pacific Coliseum on closed circuit hook-up at a building only few hundred yards from the arena itself.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0018-0890/2757077-1-eng-US/f0018-082.jpg" title="f0018-08" width="148" height="247"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 148px"><b>Ken Block</b></figcaption></div><p>Tickets for the affair will be priced at $2.50.</p><p>The games are those with the Detroit Red Wings, March 11, the Chicago Black Hawks March 16 and Minnesota North Stars March 23.</p><p>All three have been sold out for weeks as have five of the Canucks remaining home games. The other sellouts are against Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues.</p><p>And though it&rsquo;s not sold out at the moment, the Canucks closing game against Los Angeles Kings probably will be.</p><p>On that night the club will stage a &ldquo;Fran Appreciation Night&rdquo; which will feature several draws for major prizes.</p><p>The club has averaged 15,150 customers for its first 31 home games. There have been 21 sell outs as the club has played to 97 per cent of capacity.</p><p>Walters referred to the closed circuit experiment &mdash; it&rsquo;s been done in Boston. Toronto, Chicago and Detroit during the playoffs &mdash; as &ldquo;a test run.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;If it goes over with our fans, we&rsquo;ll look into it on a regular basis,&rdquo; he added. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve already been approached by Victoria for the closed circuit right for that city. We&rsquo;re trying to structure an arrangement where a greater number of people can see these games and this will be in effect a pilot feasibility study.&rdquo;</p><p>The Canucks wouldn&rsquo;t be the first Vancouver based team to beam closed circuit telecasts into Victoria. The B.C. Lions of the Canadian Football League have done it before and it is the Lions&rsquo; equipment the Canucks will be renting for their experiment.</p><p>Meanwhile, though the team may be floundering on the ice, public acceptance in Vancouver continues to be astounding.</p><p>&ldquo;Do you know we&rsquo;ve sold 1,000 new season tickets since that 5-4 win over Boston Feb. 16?&rdquo; a club official asked. &ldquo;With the new tickets we&rsquo;ve sold and if all our old subscribers renew, we&rsquo;ll go into next season with over 14,000 season ticket holders.&rdquo;</p><p>The Canucks started the current campaign with 11,600 season ticket holders.</p><p><b>CANUCKS CAPERS:</b> Defenseman Ken Block was called up from Rochester Americans when Barry Wilkins slid into a goal post in New York and missed a game with an injured back &hellip; Block played against the Toronto Maple Leafs and was scheduled to play against the Montreal Canadiens the next night, but weather conditions forced cancellation of the game &hellip; It was Block&rsquo;s first game in the NHL after nearly seven seasons of trying to make the big time &hellip; And the Manitoba native came up with a big effort, too, although the Canucks dropped a 3-1 decision to the Leafs &hellip; Center Orland Kurtenbach also returned to the lineup in Toronto after spending 10 weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

One time he spun out and came to a standstill in the hay bales that outlined the course.</p><p>A Jaguar enthusiast, doing 60 or so, piled into Roy&rsquo;s vehicle and the gritty little sportscaster was knocked out for a couple of minutes. Still, he was able to make it home on his/own after regaining consciousness.</p><p>Seven years later, upon completing the most exciting announcing of his life &mdash; the Western League playoffs between the San Francisco Seals and Seattle &mdash; Storey&rsquo;s left side was attacked by recurring bouts of numbness.</p><p>In fact, he suffered five such attacks during the playoffs, which San Francisco rallied to win after being down in the series, 3-1.</p><p>The doctors shot a chemical into his blood stream and were able to detect a large tumor on his brain. The prognosis was bleak; an operation that probably would leave him blind and completely paralyzed.</p><p>&ldquo;They said quite possibly I&rsquo;d be a vegetable,&rdquo; Roy recently said with a grin before he bit into a carrot. &ldquo;The doctor said a 10 percent batting average on those kind of operations would make him a success.&rdquo;</p><p>Those odds are tough to beat, but Roy won. And he did it more than once.</p><p>Three times the medics carved into his skull and three times Roy came out of the operating room still kicking.</p><p>The first time they removed the tumor, the second time was for a blood clot and the final one was because of infection.</p><p>The three operations took place in less than two months.

Since then, the Huskies had run away and hidden from the pack.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0020-02183/2757309-1-eng-US/f0020-022.jpg" title="f0020-02" width="145" height="239"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 145px"><b>Amo Bessone</b></figcaption></div><p>The next night, Amo waited anxiously to hear the second game result. Denver, for the second straight time, had come from behind to trip Tech.</p><p>&ldquo;The heck with trying to avoid Tech in the playoffs.&rdquo; Besone said. &ldquo;I think we&rsquo;re going to start worrying about avoiding Denver.</p><p>Denver, the only team in the WCHA playing more freshmen than the OHA-studded Tech Huskies, trailed 3-1 in the first game but roared back for a 5-3 victory. The next night. Tech built a 1-0 lead, but Denver, before an enthusiastic home crowd, reponded for a 5-2 victory and the sweep.</p><p>Tom Peluso, looking more and more like the WCHA&rsquo;s top freshman, scored two goals and assisted on two others in the 5-2 same, and wound up with six points for the weekend.</p><p>Center Vic Venasky, another Denver freshman, had five points and played an excellent series. But most impressive was Denver&rsquo;s de-&lsquo;fense, which put forth its most cohesive effort of the season in front of goalie Ron Grahame.</p><p>Grahame was pressed into action off the bench for both games and may have won the starting job with his performance.</p><p>Tech, meanwhile, went on to Colorado Springs Monday and was upset 6-3 by Colorado College for its third straight loss.</p><p>Bessone&rsquo;s interest was because Michigan State was trying to crowd Denver and Wisconsin in the battle for second place behind Tech Denver, of course, pretty well solidified second place by hammering Tech. But Michigan State swept into a tie with Wisconsin for the third spot.</p><p>The Spartans beat Wisconsin 4-2 in the first game, then blew a 52 lead the next night before winning 6-5 in overtime. Wisconsin rattled off three straight goals to force the sudden death overtime, but Michel Chaurest scored his second goal of the game at 1.18 to win it for MSU to make the Spartans and Wisconsin both 11-9. Denver pulled to 13-7.</p><p>Another 6-5 overtime game was generated by Minnesota, as the Gophers again looked something like last season&rsquo;s champs in sweeping two games from Michigan to secure a playoff spot. Minnesota won the first game 7-3 as freshman Bruce Carlson scored twice.</p><p>But Michigan held a 5-2 lead the next day before Minnesota got unwound for three straight to eventually tie it late in the third period. Michigan goalie Karl Bagnell made 60 saves, but was finally beaten in the final minute of the 10-minute overtime by Dean Blais&rsquo;s second goal.</p><p>Minnesota-Duluth, continuing to malfunction despite the return of center Murray Keogan, fell 6-3 to an aroused North Dakota outfit playing without its star center Jimmy Cahoon. Six different scorers hit for the Sioux, who outshot UMD 46-30.</p><p>The next day, the Keogan-Walt Ledingham-Cam Fryer line got going and UMD won 5-3 to split the series in Duluth. Ledingham, who had a goal in the loss, had three goals and an assist in the victors while Keogan had a goal and three assists.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>

WESTERN WAY

<div class="byline">BY TOM BURKE</div><p>BOSTON &mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>A</span>s long as the Boston Garden management can figure ways to fit more people in and stay within the fire laws, expect the Beanpot Tournament attendance marks to keep rising.</p><p>February 22 saw a single-game record of 14,994 college hockey fans shoehorn somehow into the Causeway St. playground for the annual tourney finale, won for the second year in a row by Boston University, 4-1 over crosstown foe Harvard.</p><p>It was the Terriers&rsquo;sixth time collecting all the beans, and in so doing they dispelled all doubts about who&rsquo;s No. 1 in the East this season. BU and Harvard had played to a 4-4 tie back in December, the only blotch on the Terrier record other than a 5-1 loss at Cornell. As the game drew to a close, though, the only cloud on the BU horizon appeared to be Michigan Tech in the NCAA finals.</p><p>Captain Steve Stirling received the most valuable player award as he collected a goal and two assists and did a yeoman&rsquo;s job killing penalties. Other BU goals were by Paul Giandomenico, Steve Dolloff, and Don Cahoon. Dave Hynes notched the Crimson tally.</p><p>Giandomenico lit the lamp first at 6:31 of the opening frame. He golfed in Stirling&rsquo;s bouncing pass from the right faceoff circle past goalie Bruce Durno.</p><p>Despite a five-on-three advantage for 2:25 of the second period, Harvard couldn&rsquo;t tie it up until 14:15 when both teams were at full strength. Hynes drilled the disc into an open cage from about 10 feet away after soph Bill Corkery barrelled in on the right lane, careening into goalie Dan Brady and dragging him away from the net.</p><p>Stirling got the game winner with just 15 seconds to go in the second frame. He fired home a loose puck which had trickled behind Durno after the Harvard netminder had stopped two shots in a logjam out front.</p><p>Dolloff gave BU an insurance goal at ,6:42 of the third on the prettiest play of the night.</p><p>Durno had 26 saves in the net to Brady&rsquo;s 27. Twelve penalties were tooted on Harvard and ten on BU in the game. The Crimson&rsquo;s Joe Cavanagh was shut out for the contest but still retains his all-time Beanpot scoring crown with 19 points.</p><p>While the attendance was an all-time single game high eclipsing last year&rsquo;s mark of 14,835, 1970 still retained the two-game total record of 29,537. This year&rsquo;s attendance for both rounds was 26.443.</p><p>BU got to the final by whomping Northeastern 12-2 in the first round. Harvard nailed Boston College 10-4 in the opener. BC got third place by drubbing Northeastern 8-2 in the consolation game.</p><p>Next year the first round will feature BC-BU and HarvardNorth eastern, Overall. BC has won the Beauport eight times. BU six. and Harvard five. The huskies are still looking for their first Beanpot trophy.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

BU Wins Second Beanpot Before Record 14,994

<div class="byline">By Tom Burke</div><p class="dropcap"><span>S</span>t. Lawrence&rsquo;s veteran hockey coach George Menard announced his retirement from coaching at the Larries&rsquo; final home game with Clarkson February 24. In 15 years at the Canton school, George&rsquo;s teams won 204 games, lost 137, and tied 14. This year was only the second in the past nine that SLU failed to qualify for the ECAC playoffs as the posted a 5-12 record in division one and a 10-14 overall slate.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0020-03151/2757371-1-eng-US/f0020-032.jpg" title="f0020-03" width="147" height="227"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 147px"><b>George Menard</b></figcaption></div><p>George will stay on as assistant athletic director, business manager, and baseball coach at St. Lawrence. No successor was named immediately, but freshman coach Bernie McKinnon is rumored to have the inside track.</p><p>The Larries gave George a fine sendoff the final week of the schedule. They peppered Bruce Bullock with 45 shots but lost to Clarkson 3-2. Then at RPIthey took their second straight by blanking the Engineers 3-0. Allan Howes had 34 saves for St. Lawrence, keeping the Engineers scoreless even though RPI had nine power plays, seven of them coming in the second period when all SLU goals were tallied.</p><p>Captain Alex Campbell was leading SLU scorer on the season with 19-20-39. Alex&rsquo;s career total of 106 is good for eighth on the alltime scoring list: teammate Briand Hind finished up with 21-11-32 and a three vear total of 103. ninth on the all-time ledger.</p><p>Boston College ended their season with wins of 8-2 over Northeastern and 5-2 over Army. The Eagles and coach Snooks Kelley finished 11-15 overall and 9-12 in Division One, the first sub-500 season in 13 years for BC and the first time ever missing the FCAC playoffs.</p><p>Sophomore center Ed Kenty led the scoring on the young club with 25-23-48, including four hat tricks. Another soph, Bob Reardon, was second with 19-24-43, while junior defenseman Tom Mellor was third with 10-30-40. Mellor, suspended from the last game for fighting, joined the U.S. National team in Montreal for a tryout.</p><p>With the end of February, standings in both ECAC Divisions One and Two were still in doubt as to playoff seedings. Boston University wins Div. I, posting a 17-1-1 record with one game remaining. Clarkson, Cornell, and Harvard will be the next three, with Cornell at Harvard on March 3 having much bearing on playoff seedings.</p><p>Rhode Island rivals Brown and Providence were deadlocked at 12-5 apiece in fifth spot, with the showdown scheduled for March 2 at Brown. Brown was unbeaten at home all season long going into that game; their latest wins were 3-1 over Yale and a tight 3-2 win over Penn, who had beaten Blown 4-1 earlier. Dave Patterson got the winner with 4:12 remaining for the scrappy Bruins, who have come a long way under rookie coach Allan Soares. PC dumped Colgate 8-2 and lost a 6-2 decision to powerful Boston University.</p><p>Despite the loss to Brown and a 9-4 loss to Cornell, Penn should be in the playoffs. At the close of the month they were eighth with 108 and one game remaining with Dartmouth. New Hampshire was seventh with 11-7 and two toughies left, on the road at Clarkson and at RPI. The Engineers still are a playoff possibility even though the 30 loss to St. Lawrence was their fifth in a row, continuing the tailspin to 6-5-2. They must beat UNH to get in.</p><p>The Wildcats stomped Colgate 15-7 at Durham in a game that saw Louie Frigon break all remaining scoring records. Lou had three goals and seven assists, which gave him 82 points for the season. He had four goals and three assists earlier in the week in a 10-3 blasting of Division Two&rsquo;s Massachusetts Aggies.</p><p>Division Two&rsquo;s playoff race is Just as hot as the big boys&rsquo;. Vermont defeated Bowdoin 5-2 in Burlington on Feb. 27 with the aid of a penalty shot. That deadlocked the two teams at 13-2 apiece and the loop lead. Bowdoin and Vermont will have home ice for the first round of the playoffs, which will comprise four teams. The other two will be coming from the quartet of Merimack. Oswego State. Salem State, and Massachusetts Aggies.</p><p>Last season, Jim Cross&rsquo; Vermont Catamounts tipped Sid Watson&rsquo;s Polar Bears for the championships in the playoff final. A rematch seems likely.</p><p>Talk is circulating about having the Division Two championship game played as a preliminary to the Division One title tilt in the Boston Garden. It won&rsquo;t happen this year, but may come before long. That would move the Division One consolation game to an afternoon spot in the Garden.</p></div><div style="clear: both;"></div><h2><b>Hockey School</b></h2><p><b>AT THE TAFT SCHOOL, WATERTOWN, CONN.

But Mike Nykoluk, alias the &ldquo;Big Bear&rdquo; is the exception.</p><p>The popular Hershey Bears captain on Feb. 27 was given his second standing ovation of the American League campaign by the home fans when he became the fourth highest scorer in league history.</p><p>Nykoluk, combined with defenseman Darryl Edestrand on a 2 on 1 breakaway in the second period, to notch a goal, paving the way for Hershey to score a 3-2 win in the crucial Western Division contest before 7,130 fans.</p><p>Earlier in the season, the 36-year-old Toronto product was given another rousing ovation when he hit the 800 point plateau.</p><p>In the 15 years Nykoluk has spent in the AHL&mdash;13 with Hershey&mdash;he racked up 178 goals and 652 assists for 830 points in 990 games.</p><p>Until he notched the goal to make it an even 830, Harry Pid-hirny, ex-Springfield flash, was No. 4 man in the loop with 829 points, garnered in 1,071 games on 376 goals and 453 assists.</p><p>Only two nights before Nykoluk broke Pidhirny&rsquo;s mark, the big guy was sidelined with-a groin injury after having played 389 consecutive games.</p><p>The last time Nykoluk sat out a game was Dec. 18. 1965 when he missed five in a losing bout with the flu bug.</p><p>In centering for the Bears since 1958-59, Nykoluk has missed only 30 of the 944 played.</p><p>He wasn&rsquo;t happy about having to sit out the game, either, but as he said: &ldquo;When you get older you have to expect these things.&rdquo;</p><p>With the stretch drive now underway for a Calder Cup playoff berth, the &ldquo;Big Bear&rdquo; predicts Hershey will finish third and make the post-season action for the 11th straight year.</p><p>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know what it is this year,&rdquo; said Mike, &ldquo;but the goals are coming hard for the club. At home we haven&rsquo;t played well and maybe because we&rsquo;re tense.&rdquo;</p><p>Nykoluk is the league&rsquo;s third highest all-time playmaker with his 652 assists. Only Baltimore&rsquo;s Willie Marshall, a former Hershey star, and one-time Cleveland great Fred Glover are ahead of Nykoluk.</p><p>Another standard he will soon crack is the 1,000 game level. Marshall, Glover and Pidhirny are the only three skaters to play more than 1,000 AHL games.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0021-0540/2757447-1-eng-US/f0021-052.jpg" title="f0021-05" width="305" height="318"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>MIKE NYKOLUK &hellip; Collects 830th Point</b></figcaption></div><span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span>

BEEHIVE HOCKEY CAMP

<div class="byline">BY HANS TANNER</div><p>ROCHESTER &mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>A</span> disease diagnosed as &ldquo;firstperioditis&rdquo; is the ailment which threatens to leave the Rochester Americans on the outside looking in when the American Hockey League playoffs roll around next month.</p><p>The Amerks are still in the scramble for the third and final berth in the Western Division, with Hershey as their adversary.</p><p>But had it not been for a recurring attack of &ldquo;firstperioditis&rdquo;, there would be no question about Rochester preparing for the playoffs. The only question would be whether the Americans would be just ahead or just behind the run-away&hellip; er, skate-away Baltimore Clippers atop the division.</p><p>As the club moved into the final month of its 1970-71 schedule, it had failed to score during the first periods of 21 games. The Amerks managed to win just one of those 21! They tied three and dropped the other 17.</p><p>At home the Americans were 15-2 for scoreless first periods, and on the road they were 0-12-1.</p><p>On the other side of the ledger, Rochester owned a fine 19-11-6 record for games in which it scored one or more goals in the first 20 minutes.</p><p>The Amerks&rsquo; lone win after being zeroed for the first session came here New Year&rsquo;s Eve when they downed Hershey, 4-2. The Bears also were scoreless in that first period.</p><p>Carrying this all a little bit farther, Rochester opponents who failed to score in the first period eventually won four games, tied four and dropped 10.</p><p>Two home games saw both teams blanked in the opening stanza &mdash; the Amerks winning over Hershey as previously mentioned and the Amerks battling to a rare 0-0 deadlock here Feb. 28. Of five road games that were 0-0 at the end of one period, the Americans lost four and tied one.</p><p>If the Amerks can cure their &ldquo;firstperioditis&rdquo; in time, they just might be around for the playoffs.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

First Period Apathy Helping Keep Amerks Out Of Playoffs

<div class="byline">BY CHUCK SANTANIELLO</div><p>SPRINGFIELD &mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>A</span>s usual the Springfield Kings continue to make news on and off the ice with the club battling for a playoff position in the Eastern Division.</p><p>Attorney George Leary tossed a real bombshell at the hockey patrons here recently when he announced there was a SOSO chance the Kings&rsquo; franchise would be moved out of town after the completion of next season. That&rsquo;s when the lease between Eddie Shore, the franchise holder and Jack Kent Cooke, the team owner, is due for renewal.</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0022-01137/2757571-1-eng-US/f0022-012.jpg" title="f0022-01" width="155" height="234"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>Butch Goring</b></figcaption></div><p>Leary serves as council for the Springfield Management Company, of which Eddie Shore is primary owner. It is no secret here Shore and Louie Harp, manager of the new 7,800 seat, $10 million Springfield Civic Center are at loggerheads over concession rights. It looks like Shore and Leary are tossing another wedge into the battle, seeking to bull Harp.</p><p>&ldquo;Right now I would have to say,&rdquo; Leary stated, &ldquo;there is a 50-50 chance the Kings might be playing out of town. I don&rsquo;t like the idea myself, but Springfield Management Company makes the decisions. It is strictly business, really economics when they could get a better deal in a 12,-000-seat arena in Hartford over the 7,800-seat facility here.&rdquo;</p><p>This seems a little hard to believe. Hartford, which is 25 miles south of here, has not even turned over a spade of dirt for its new arena. There is also no indication Shore could move into Hartford and get the concession rights at the new arena either. The Springfield Civic Center wants to entertain bids for the concessions and has stated this to Shore many times.</p><p>As franchise owner, Shore can do what he likes when he finishes his five-year agreement. He also has a 50-mile AHL radius where no other club can come in. And as far as is known, there is no available arena in New England big enough to house the Kings if he should decide to move out.</p><p>Indeed, it would be a real blow to Springfield should Shore carry out his threat to move. Hockey has been on the local scene since the early 1920&rsquo;s. The one puzzling aspect of the situation is that there&rsquo;s never anything in the local newspapers about the matter. Leary appeared only on a local TV station for an interview. Talk about news blackouts.</p><p>Looking at the Kings on the ice, Norm Armstrong, 32-year-old veteran, was obtained in a straight trade from Rochester Americans by the Kings in exchange for Don Westbrooke. &lsquo;Red&rsquo; will help the local club. Ironically, earlier this season he was involved in a fight with the Kings&rsquo; Dunc Rousseau which caused a riot.</p><p>In fact, Armstrong still has to answer a complaint in court here and has since forgotten any ill feeling with any of the local players. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m here to play hockey to help the Kings,&rdquo; Armstrong stated. &ldquo;The rest is past history.&rdquo;</p><p>The parent Kings also sent back center Butch Goring. Butch, from Western Canada, has been up and down in the big leagues and was not seeing much action with the NHL club. He came here with mononucleosis earlier in the season, has recovered and is now playing good hockey for the AHL Kings.</p><p>Hard luck goaler Bruce Landon is out for the rest of the season. He spent two weeks in a Detroit Hospital for an operation to correct two shoulder separations. He&rsquo;ll be back in action next season. Landon will become a local resident, too, since he will marry a local girl shortly.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

<div class="byline">BY BOB ELMER</div><p>BALTIMORE &mdash;</p><p class="dropcap"><span>W</span>hen the Detroit Red Wings sent Kerry Ketter to the Baltimore Clippers&rsquo; pre-season training camp last fall, only the NHL hockey guide was conversant with the young defenseman&rsquo;s ability.</p><p>Now, six months later, every Baltimore hockey fan is thoroughly acquainted with the youngster&rsquo;s swashbuckling backline style, and knowledgable rink buffs feel certain that the Red Wings have themselves a real comer in pro hockey.</p><p>Ketter, a 23-year old resident of Sinclair Mills, B.C. which is a true lumberman&rsquo;s outpost not too far from Prince George and all of its 900 inhabitants, is nicknamed &ldquo;Cowley&rdquo; by his Clipper teammates. And, that&rsquo;s not too easy to figure out, since his initials are K.K.K.</p><p>Anyhow, it seems that veteran defense mate Kent Douglas, allows as to how his fledgling backline partner apparently bears a strong resemblance to the former All-Star Boston Bruin center, Bill Cowley.</p><p>&ldquo;I wish I could score like him,&rdquo; the lanky, gaunt-faced, black haired Ketter sighed, &ldquo;but that&rsquo;ll never happen to a defenseman like me.&rdquo;</p><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0023-01118/2757884-1-eng-US/f0023-012.jpg" title="f0023-01" width="959" height="650"><figcaption class="caption-body"><b>AHL President JACK BUTTERFIELD, right, and league secretary GORDON ANZIANO, left, are taken on a tour of the new 10,000-seat arena under construction in Norfolk, Va., by Col.

He has a very fine shot from the point &mdash; hard and accurate &mdash; and has im, proved considerably with his defensive play around the net.&rdquo;</p><p>After graduating from Killar-nev High School, Ketter moved through Vancouver&rsquo;s amatuer ice leagues to a Junior A status as a 16-vear-old.

Completion date for the Norfolk rink is December of 1971.</p><p>AHL President Jack Butterfield and league secretary Gordon Anziano recently toured the new Scope rink and came away highly impressed with both the building and the people who are behind the Tidewater operation. Anziano pointed out that while they are comparatively new to hockey, they are extremely enthusiastic about the game and have assured the AHL of a first class operation under the direction of the Detroit club.<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p>

WESTERN LEAGUE

<div class="byline">BY DOUG McCONNELL</div><p>Ed Ehrenverth is just not a goal scorer. There&rsquo;s nothing the matter with his sense of humor, though.</p><p>The San Diego Gulls&rsquo; forward had gone 51 games this season without scoring a goal, a fact that was given a lot of attention by Wayne Lockwood of the San Diego Union, one of the Western Hockey League&rsquo;s most entertaining writers.</p><div class="container"><div class="figure-block image-float"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0024-0356/2758119-1-eng-US/f0024-032.jpg" title="f0024-03" width="143" height="225"><figcaption class="caption-body" style="width: 143px"><b>Ed Ehrenverth</b></figcaption></div><p>The Gulls&rsquo; Mr. Zero was approaching a record of the same proportions of Babe Ruth&rsquo;s 60 homers or Rocket Richard&rsquo;s 50 goals in 50 games.</p><p>Ehrenverth, who scored 10 goals for the Gulls last season and has a career high, of 17 for Seattle in his rookie season, 196061, can&rsquo;t pinpoint the key to his current success.</p><p>&ldquo;I think I&rsquo;m doing things about the same as I always did&hellip;shooting wide, holding onto the puck too long,&rdquo; he said in an interview before his 52nd game. &ldquo;I guess it&rsquo;s just a matter of finally putting it all together.&rdquo;</p><p>What about his teammates?</p><p>&ldquo;I wish I could share some of the credit with them,&rdquo; he told Lockwood. &lsquo;They&rsquo;re a great bunch. But I&rsquo;m afraid I&rsquo;d have to say it&rsquo;s been pretty much an individual effort.&rdquo;</p><p>Not long ago, the Seattle Totems pulled their goaltender in a last minute gamble to catch the Gulls. Ehrenverth broke loose with the puck and Seattle defenseman John Hanna backpeddled furiously to cut him off.</p><p>&ldquo;you spend all week practicing against goaltenders and when you finally get a chance you have to shoot against a defenseman,&rdquo; was his mock complaint. &ldquo;Is that fair?&rdquo;</p><p>Ehrenverth willingly points out that he had to have help from the goaltenders during his streak and in fact has unique qualifications to judge their abilities.</p><p>&ldquo;I would have to say our own pair of Jack McCartan and Gary Simmons are the best,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I see them the most and they were the ones who really convinced me that I could go a whole season without scoring.</p><p>&ldquo;It was Oct. 3 in training camp, when I last got one past either of them&rdquo;.</p><p>Ehrenverth declines the invitation to grade the rest of the WHL&rsquo;s goaltenders. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re all batting 1,000 against me.&rdquo;</p><p>Ridicule of Ehrenverth&rsquo;s efforts comes only from the 30-year-old forward.</p><p>&ldquo;We value Edgar for what he can do, not what he can&rsquo;t,&rdquo; says coach Max McNab, who employs Ehrenverth primarily as a penalty killer and checking forward.</p><p>&ldquo;We don&rsquo;t give him much chance to score goals,&rdquo; McNab added. &ldquo;Any he gets are just a bonus.</p><p>&ldquo;He means so much to this team, on the ice and off. His name in the lineup is automatic. He&rsquo;s the kind of guy, with his steadiness and competitiveness, that you have to have.&rdquo;</p><p>The pressure finally got to Ehrenverth. Hours after Lockwood&rsquo;s article appeared, Ed scored his first goal-in an 11-0 shutout over the Denver Spurs. It has been the only one in 61 games this season.</p><p>The San Diego Tribune ran a picture of the puck with the caption that it was headed to the Smithsonian Institute.</p><p>&ldquo;It was,&rdquo; said Ehrenverth,&rdquo; one of my longer slumps.&rdquo;<span class="end-marker"> &#9632;</span></p></div>
