Give your boy a SUMMER TO REMEMBER

<div class="byline">BY BOB BROWN</div>CLEVELAND &mdash;The Cleveland Barons and Hershey Bears didn&rsquo;t surprise anyone with their early game performances in the Calder Cup quarter-final opening game here. It was a hard hitting, close checking affair with strong goaltending on both sides. Hershey won the opener 3-2, Cleveland took the second 4-1, and the third in a romp 7-1.Both Harry &ldquo;Hap&rdquo; Holmes award winner Gary Kurt and Hershey&rsquo;s Andre Gill who finished a close second, had the crowd squirming with their puck stopping antics in the first game.In the end, it was Gill who had the better of it but Kurt made some brilliant stops at key moments of the contest. Still, it was the save Kurt couldn&rsquo;t make that won the game for the Bears in sudden death overtime. Michel Harvey picked up the puck at the blue line and skated in behind the Cleveland Defense to beat the Barons goalie at the 5.58 mark after Hershey had tied it at 2-2 mid way through the last period.Many experts predicted this series would decide the Calder Cup Championship and no one would attempt to refute that after seeing this game. It was unreal.BLUELINERS: Gary Kurt is the fifth Cleveland goaltender to lead the American Hockey League in goals allowed average. Moe Roberts did it in 1939-40, Bill Beveridge two years later, Johnny Bower in 1951-52 and 1957-58 and Les Binkley was tops in 1965-66. The 2.83 combined goals allowed average of Kurt and Fern Rivard was also tops in the AHL this season.The Barons drew 191,153 fans during the regular season for a 5,310 average. The draw was some 60,000 over a year earlier and 90,000 over two years ago which was Nick Mileti&rsquo;s first campaign as owner of the Club.Cleveland&rsquo;s Benedictine High was presented the Baron Cup awarded annually to the champion of the Great Cleveland School Hockey League between of a recent game at the Arena.Nick Mileti, who was instrumental in founding the league two years ago, said the eight team loop would be expanded to at least 12 teams next season. Mileti also presented a plaque to the Shaker Heights High School Club winners of the first Ohio State Schoolboy Hockey Tounament held at Bowling Green State University a month ago.This is the 30th season in their 35 year history that the Barons have qualified for post season play. Cleveland&rsquo;s nine Calder Cup Championships top the AHL. &#9632;

Balon scored 36 goals this year for Blueshirts.</figcaption></div>NEW YORK &mdash;&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t forget to give the forwards some of the credit,&rdquo; boomed Vic Hadfield&rsquo;s big voice from a corner of the New York Rangers&rsquo; dressing room. Vic was shouting above the din to Eddie Giacomin, who had just come off the ice after shutting out the Detroit Red Wings 6-0 in the season&rsquo;s final regular season contest &mdash; and thereby preserving the New York lead in the 1970-71 Vezina trophy race.Giacomin, in recording his eighth shutout in only 45 games admitted, &ldquo;I was nervous before the game started, probably never as nervous. I&rsquo;m still shaking. When they didn&rsquo;t score in the early going, I felt pretty good about it. If they had scored a quick goal and cut into our four goal lead it might have put the pressure on, but after the first few saves I was alright.&rdquo;After the game ended, Gilles Villemure, Giacomin&rsquo;s partner hugged Eddie in delirious joy. Villemure, who started the season expecting to see scant action had played in 34 games and allowed only 78 goals. He chalked up 4 shutouts, giving the Rangers a league leading total of 12. Giacomin&rsquo;s statistics read 45 games, 95 goals and the aforementioned eight shutout jobs.&ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t have worked with a better guy than Gilles,&rdquo; said Eddie. &ldquo;Early in the season I wasn&rsquo;t too sure I liked sharing the job, but Emile Francis knew what he was doing. In the beginning, I felt the pressure when I didn&rsquo;t play, but it sure worked out.&rdquo;It worked out so well, that Eddie won the West Side Association&rsquo;s annual award as the Rangers&rsquo; most valuable player, in a vote polling the New York Hockey Writer&rsquo;s Assh. Jean Ratelle won his fourth straight Player&rsquo;s Player award in a vote of his teammates.Villemure, who received the Hap Holmes Trophy as the leading goalie in the American Hockey League the last two sea sons, enthused, &ldquo;It was a team effort. It takes twenty men to win the Vezina Trophy.&rdquo;A happier man, if it was possible than the two goalies at the Rangers regular season windup was Rod Gilbert, the flashy right winger. Gilbert notched his 30th goal of the season in the finale, the first time in his career he had reached this exalted figure. In the past, Rod popped 24, 25, 28, 29 and 28 on different occasions, but thirty always eluded him.<div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-03561/3057534-1-eng-US/f0002-032.jpg" title="f0002-03" width="1134" height="557"></div>When Gilbert&rsquo;s magic marker entered the net at 13.06 of the second period, the sellout crowd of 17,250 fans stood as one and gave Rodrigue a prolonged ovation, which had the emotional Gaul hanging his head at center ice as he awaited the new faceoff. Brad Park picked up the puck and brought it to the Ranger bench for a souvenir as Glen Sather openly lead the cheering by standing and applauding. It was as emotional a tribute as Phil Esposito received after scoring his 75th goal in Boston.&ldquo;It was a night to remember,&rdquo; said Rod. &ldquo;They really let me know how they felt about me. I hope we can give them a championship now.&rdquo;Just a season ago, Gilbert was the target of boo birds at Madison Square Garden. He notched only 16 goals in the regular season and despite a fine playoff (45-9) in six games, was definitely on the spot when training opened. Now he has reestablished himself as one of the premier right wingers of the NHL.&ldquo;Emile Francis is the greatest. Even when he benches me he knows what he is doing,&rdquo; chuckled Hot Rod.Gilbert was referring to a second period benching in Chicago on March 10. Francis sat Rod down for defensive purposes in a tight checking game with the Hawks. Gilbert then bounced off the bench in the third period and got the game winner.&ldquo;Gilbert has always been very good in the playoffs. He can be our key man,&rdquo; says Francis. &ldquo;If Rod gets hot look out. Maybe next year he can go for forty goals.&rdquo;This may be wishful thinking, but a careful analysis of the Rangers Cup chances show they could lie with Gilbert and Giacomin, the Blueshirts two G men. Gilbert has produced 24 points in 24 playoff games, far above his season totals. He is a streak scorer and a Gilbert hot streak in the playoffs could do the trick for New York.Conversely Giacomin has not been that good in his previous efforts at Lord Stanley&rsquo;s pewterware. His record shows only four wins and 14 losses with a 3.38 goals against average. This time, however, a tested and rested Villemure is in reserve if Eddie falters and Eddie is coming off his best season.&ldquo;I just want to get past the first round,&rdquo; says Giacomin.This shows the frustration of Eddie and the Rangers at having been eliminated four straight times since Francis cajoled and wheeled and dealed the 1966-67 squad into the post season spectacular. However, if Rangers can beat Toronto, the monkey may he off their backs and they will free wheel the rest of the way &mdash; a la the New York Mets of 1969 who knew they had already done their thing by just getting into contention.BLUE CHIPS: Rangers set all time attendance record at home drawing 672.432 and selling out for every game but the first&hellip; Bob Nevin got two goals in the season finale and finished with 21. giving the team seven men in the magic circle. Preceeding Boh were Walt Tkaczuk, Jean Ratelie, Rod Gilbert, Dave Balon, Vic Hadfield and Ted Irvine &hellip; The Vezina win was the second in club history with the previous one coming in 1939-46 with Davey Kerr in the nets. This was the last year the Rangers won the Stanley Cup&hellip; Rangers finished regular season with 36-2-7 record, equaling the Montreal record of two home osses in a season set in 1961-62 in a 35 game home schedule.

He has had a simply fabulous hockey season and appears to be a cinch to corral the Hart Trophy as the NHL&rsquo;s most valuable player.You wouldn&rsquo;t get much argument in hockey circles, either, if you upgraded the brilliant job turned in this season by John McLellan or the selection of William Wirtz of Chicago as the outstanding executive of the season.In all, it represents three pretty formidable selections with Esposito as top player, McLellan as coach of the year and Wirtz as the No 1 executive as picked by THE HOCKEY NEWS for their annual major league hockey awards.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-02616/3057672-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg" title="f0003-02" width="520" height="577"><figcaption class="caption-body">JOHN McLELLAN</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-03411/3057665-1-eng-US/f0003-032.jpg" title="f0003-03" width="523" height="578"><figcaption class="caption-body">WILLIAM WIRTZ</figcaption></div>Esposito, who scored an unprecedented 76 goals and scored 152 points this season while winning the NHL scoring title for the second time in three years, has been the major factor along with Bobby Orr, in the rise of the Boston Bruins to NHL prominence the past two years. Espo has been sensational, and along with Orr, John Buryk and Ken Hodge, gave the Bruins a history-setting four 100-plus point scorers this season.The rangy Boston center has been personally responsible for nine new records and was part of many more among the 37 set by the Bruins this season. It was Espo&rsquo;s year from the beginning and his superior play has estahlished him as the leading performer in the NHL this season. He succeeds teammate Bobby Orr who won THE HOCKEY NEWS award last year and marks the second time he has won it himself after his exciting 126-point year in 1968-69 that brought him honors as player of the year.McLellan&rsquo;s selection as the No. 1 coach in the NHL is a tribute to his brilliant masterminding behind the Toronto bench this season.It wasn&rsquo;t easy for the Leafs&rsquo; coach after last year&rsquo;s dismal campaign when the club ended up out of the playoffs and in last position. This season, McLellan merely brought the same inexperienced Leafs along with the help of so many old hands like Jacques Plante, Dave Keon, Paul Henderson, Norm Ullman, George Armstrong and Bob Baun, and got the job done. The Leafs cracked the playoff circle and when play started for the Stanley Cup, the young Lions of Toronto were given a good chance of upsetting the Rangers.McLellan weathered early season storms like Keon holding out for a reported $125,000, the discontent created between the club and such established stars as Bob Pulford and Mike Walton, plus the fact the club couldn&rsquo;t get untracked at the start of the year and actually languished in last place.But the Leafs finally came alive under McLellan&rsquo;s handling, one reason why he was selected for the best coaching job in the NHL this year.Wirtz is the energetic president of the Chicago Black Hawks, who stepped in behind his father Arthur Wirtz, later to become the chairman of the NHL&rsquo;s Board of Governors after serving as head of the league&rsquo;s finance committee.Young Wirtz assumed the presidency of the Hawks in 1967 following the death of James D. Norris. In the span of four and a half short years, the Hawks have won three league championships.Whenever the NHL sat down to talk expansion, Wirtz and William Jennings of the Rangers, were on hand to play a prominent role in the two steps that have pushed the NHL from six teams to the present day 14. When the next expansion takes place, you can expect Wirtz to have a big hand in the developments of adding more big league hockey franchises.The tip off on his ability as an executive came in 1969 when the team dropped to the NHL cellar, and everyone was yelling for somebody&rsquo;s scalp, in fact anybody&rsquo;s scalp would have been alright with most fans.But young Wirtz doesn&rsquo;t operate that way. He calmly sat down during the summer with GM Tommy Ivan and Coach Billy Reay and they evaluated the entire Hawk organization down to the the most obscure scout out in the boondocks. &mdash; True, many changes were made, but none as dramatic as firing any coach or general manager.In fact, Wirtz went a step further that summer. He raised the Hawk ticket prices, even though the team finished in last place. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re not going to stay in last place,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;This will give us a chance to find out just who really is a hockey fan.&rdquo;Wirtz is involved in many business ventures, including two banks, one in Chicago and one in Florida, several wholesale liquor distributorships which handle about $150,000,000 in sales f&gt;er year, and many real estate interests. One of the Wirtz family holdings is ownership of the American Furniture Mart, second largest office building in Chicago.Meanwhile, he also has a stable of harness horses which include the good Honest Story, which has won several stakes races all over the country.That&rsquo;s just a sample of the activities that surround William Wirtz, top hockey operator and THE HOCKEY NEWS&rsquo; choice as executive of the year for 1970-71.Picking The NHL&rsquo;s Outstanding Performer Wasn&rsquo;t Too Difficult When You&rsquo;ve Had a Year Like The Great Boston Center:PHIL ESPOSITOPlayer Of The YearBringing A Team From Last Place To The NHL Playoffs In One Season Has To Rate For Coaching Laurels:JOHN McLELLANCoach Of The YearAt The Executive Level, No Person Has Done More To Insure The Success Of The National Hockey League Than Chicago&rsquo;sWILLIAM WIRTZExecutive Of The Year. &#9632;

<h2>Hockey More Appealing Than Lawrence Welk</h2>A previous social engagement forced my husband and me to miss the televised Ranger vs Bruins game on March 27. When we arrived home we found the following notes from my motherin-law, (she is not a hockey follower but realized we were upset to miss the game):Bill Mazur called the game.1st Period: R-5 B-0Smith and Orr not playing &mdash; only on power plays &mdash; 2 power plays.Cachute scored.Brad Parks &mdash; power play.

J.H. RAAB,Glen Ridge, N.J.<h2>Espo First in West To Get Double Zero</h2>In your March 26th issue, you state that Cesare Maniago was the first West division goalie to turn in back-to-back shutouts this season.However, it was not Maniago, but rather Tony Esposito of Chicago on Oct. 24 (1-0 against Toronto) and Oct. 25 (4-0 against Buffalo).RICHARD W. PINCOMBEStrathroy, Ontario(Editor&rsquo;s note: Sorry, we erred on this one. Espo&rsquo;s feat came so early in the year we completely overlooked it. Thanks.<h2>Playoffs Satisfy Demand</h2>For Better NHL HockeyIf you are one of those who believe that they played better hockey in the old days or if you are one of those who persist in saying that NHL hockey is watered down, then you must have had second thoughts after watching the East Division playoffs.I don&rsquo;t think anyone could ask for better hockey than that presented by Montreal and Boston nor the brand of hockey shown by Toronto and New York in their series. Both have been simply great and how about the goalkeeping in the Montreal series? Both Dryden and Cheevers are something else when it comes to stopping those shots. Hats off to the four Eastern teams, they sure have turned it on in the playoffs.WALLY HEMSLEYOttawa, Ont.<h2>How About Ted Green For Masterton Award?</h2>Ted Green had made a terrific comeback this year and deserves full credit. Just to ever play again after his terrible injury is one thing, but to be playing so well deserves special recognition.The Masterton Trophy is supposed to be given to the player &ldquo;who best exemplifes the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey&rdquo;.If what Ted Green hasn&rsquo;t shown is perseverance and dedication, then nobody has.WILLIAM MAGRATHCosCob, Conn.<h2>New System Needed For NHL Netminders</h2>I think there&rsquo;s one NHL rule that should be changed and that&rsquo;s the goals against average for goalies.Instead of averaging the goals against it should be the percentage of shots on goal that go in! If you have two goalies in a game and there&rsquo;s 50 shots on one and he stops all but two and then there&rsquo;s 35 on the other and six goals are scored, who&rsquo;s the better goalie?GAIL MAHONEY, No. Easton, Mass. &#9632;

Board Meeting

<div class="byline">BY TOM MONAHAN</div>BOSTON &mdash;It was 15:06 of the second period of the final game of the regular National Hockey League season and the 14,994 fans were clapping, cheering, stamping their feet, hooting and hollering for Phil Esposito.The big, tough but soft-hearted Bruins&rsquo; center has just scored his 75th goal of the season and an historic moment in hockey history.Esposito bowed over on the bench as if seeking a place to hide, then he stood and shyly waved his left hand in recognition.He was to add another goal and an assist to the Bruins&rsquo; 7-2 victory for his seventh hat trick of the year and an ultimate total of an astronomical 152 points.Now it was barely an hour later and Esposito was in the locker-room and saying. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the greatest moment an athlete can experience. That kind of recognition and that kind of ovation for an achievement. And for the first time in my life I felt shy and embarrassed.&ldquo;You know I had to be lucky to get all those goals and all those points this year. I had to be lucky to stay healthy and I had to be lucky to be playing with a couple of great wings like Ken Hodge and Wayne Cashman. I had to be lucky to work on the greatest power play in hockey (25 of Phil&rsquo;s goals came with this unit) and I have to be lucky to be playing for the greatest team in hockey.&ldquo;Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine a season like this. It was an overwhelming season.&rdquo;&ldquo;It was phenomenal,&rdquo; said coach Tom-Johnson.With 35 years of professional hockey as a player, coach and general manager behind him Hall of Famer Milt Schmidt called it. &ldquo;Incredible, a completely unimaginable feat.&rdquo;Then still a bit later wending out of the Garden, the still-gathered horde of the hero-worshiping faithful was muttering things like &ldquo;unbelievable&rdquo;, &ldquo;quite a thing to see&rdquo;, &ldquo;a record that will stand forever&rdquo;.Now it was a day later and Esposito just smiled as he read those remarks.Although he wasn&rsquo;t around at the time, the same things probably were said back in 1930 when Cooney Weiland, who retired only two weeks ago as coach of Harvard&rsquo;s hockey team, scored 43 goals in 44 games.&ldquo;I guess they said the same thing when I scored 126 points a couple of years ago,&rdquo; remarked Espo.&ldquo;And even I said at the start of the season when they put in the limited curvature of the sticks there would be less scoring this year.&ldquo;How wrong can a guy be, eh? But seriously no record was meant to stand forever. They were meant to be broken as you writers like to sav.&ldquo;And someone will break this one too. I don&rsquo;t care about that, though. The main thing is that I have done it this time and we finally won that Prince of Wales Trophy.&rdquo;As NHL publicist Ron Andrews worked frantically to bring the record book up to date with the new 16 team and 21 individual marks the Bruins set this season, Esposito&rsquo;s remarks about eternal figures were most poignant.No doubt it will take some doing to crack the 76-goal barrier and the 152-point plateau but a record that may be even more unchallengable could be the Bruins&rsquo; feat of having four 100-point players this season.In addition to Espo&rsquo;s 152, Bobby Orr hit for 139 with an incredible 102 assists. John Bucyk finished with 116 and Hodge bagged 105. And with Wayne Cashman, Johnny McKenzie and Fred Stanfield they placed seven men in the top 10 and had a total of 10 20-goal scorers.With that it was on to the defense of the Stanley Cup in the opening series against Montreal. &#9632;

GIL PERREAULT: THE BLITZ/HOCKEY NEWS ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

<div class="byline">&#x2014; By Bill Libby</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-01816/3058124-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="276" height="356"></div><h2>An Improbable Hero&hellip;</h2>JOSEPH JACQUES OMER PLANTE was 42 in January. This is his 20th season as a professional goal-tender. He is a slender 6-footer, weighing 175 pounds. His hair is streaked with grey. He has an old face, seamed and scarred with more than 200 stitches suffered before he introduced the goalers face-mask to popularity. His nose has been broken four times. Both cheekbones have been cracked. His skull has been fractured. He insists he saved his life by turning to masks. After being knocked unconscious by a shot from Boston&rsquo;s Fred Stanfield in last year&rsquo;s Stanley Cup final, he designed a new fibreglass mask with some engineering experts and now manufactures 15,000 a year at his own equipment plant, managed by his eldest son, Michel, 19, at Magog, Quebec. They sell for from $32.50 to $50.He has asthma. As a tyke in Shawnigan Falls, Quebec, he found he couldn&rsquo;t breathe when he skated hard, so he began to play goal. His father, Xavier, gave him a stick for Christmas when he was seven and improvised pads for him out of boards and potato sacks. As a teen-ager, he played in as many as three leagues at a time. He also played soccer and lacrosse. He was a netminder in these games, too. He was not outstanding as an amateur hockey goaler and was 22 before he turned pro, in 1951. He had a crooked wrist suffered when he fractured it at five and had it corrected by surgery in 1952. Montreal Canadiens called him up to the majors late in the 1953 season. He was told he was going to start the sixth game of the playoffs. Chicago led, three games to two. Montreal was on the verge of extinction. He remembers, &ldquo;Before the game, I was shaking so hard I couldn&rsquo;t dress. Rocket Richard came over and showed me his hands were shaking, too. I felt if it was all right for him, it was all right for me. I felt better then. I got a shutout. We won the cup.&rdquo;Plante divided three seasons between Canadiens and the minors. He spent eight full seasons with Canadiens. Most seasons, he played 60 or more games. He won the Vezina Trophy as the leading goal-tender in the NHL a record five consecutive seasons from 1956 through 1960. His worst season he allowed just more than 2&frac12; goals a game. His best season he allowed less than two goals per game. Yet Canadiens were never content with him. He has been called a chatterbox and a know-it-all. He has been called a hypochondriac. Then vice-president Ken Reardon felt he psyched out his teammates with his pre-game complaints. Coach Toe Blake didn&rsquo;t like the mask or Plante&rsquo;s wandering from the net, both of which revolutioned his position. Finally at age 34, he was traded to New York. Among others, Canadiens got Gump Worsley for him. But Canadiens gave up on Gump, too. They do not have a single player left from the Plante deal. Nor have they had a goal-tender nearly as good as him. They only won six pennants and five cups during his tenure. They have won others since he left, of course.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-02726/3058117-1-eng-US/f0008-022.jpg" title="f0008-02" width="532" height="846"><figcaption class="caption-body">JACQUES PLANTE&hellip; Playing Best At 42</figcaption></div>Plante wasn&rsquo;t happy in New York. He was apart from his family too much. His family wasn&rsquo;t happy. Plante played poorly and was sent to the minors his second season with Rangers. After his wife, Jacqueline, suffered a nervous breakdown, he retired in 1965 to be near her and to care for his sons. He says, &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t say so at the time, but when her doctor said I must quit for her sake, that&rsquo;s when I quit. My wife had been left alone too much. I owed her what I could give her.&rdquo; However, he also was 36 and most assumed he was finished. He did public relations work and wrote sports. He was out three years. But he missed hockey. &ldquo;Hockey players make good money for working six months a year and they do what they want all summer. I wouldn&rsquo;t mind being a slave like that all my life,&rdquo; he says. When St. Louis Blues sought him in 1968, he signed. &ldquo;My wife, she was better then. She told me if it was what I wanted, I should go,&rdquo; he says.<h2>Leafs Made Good Deal</h2>HE MADE ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING comebacks in sports history. He and another great goaler, Glenn Hall, each played half the games. He allowed less than two goals a game, Hall a little more than two and between them they shared his sixth Vezina Trophy and took the Blues to the divisional pennant and playoff championships. They were almost as good the next season and last season, as Blues won both laurels again. Blues were swept in the Cup finals both seasons, but Plante allowed less than 1&frac12; goals per game in the 15 games he played in the playoffs. Incredibly, St. Louis decided to give up one of their veteran netminders to make room for the younger Ernie Wakely this season. Hall was a little younger than Plante, so Blues decided to keep Hall. Toronto wanted another goaler to go with Bruce Gamble. They tried to get Worsley from Minnesota, but couldn&rsquo;t. At King Clancy&rsquo;s suggestion, manager Jim Gregory went after Plante and purchased him.Gregory admits, &ldquo;At Plante&rsquo;s age it was a gamble and we got some criticism, but I figure it was the best deal I ever made.&rdquo; Supposedly a troublemaker, Plante has given only his foes trouble. After a slow start, Leafs became one of the toughest clubs on the circuit and are a playoff threat, though New York still figures to win.Their resurgence began with the return of burly veteran Bob Baun to steady the defense. Centers Norm Ullman and Dave Keon have never been greater. But Plante has been one of the best goal-tenders in the league, and it is he more than any other player who has been the key to the team&rsquo;s success. Meanwhile Leafs gave up on Gamble and acquired the brilliant young Bernie Parent from Philadelphia to team with old Jacques. They now have the best backstopping in hockey.Plante lives alone in a hotel near Maple Leaf Gardens. His allergy is especially sensitive to Toronto air, but he has adjusted to it. He telephones his wife once or twice a week and gets home to Montreal once a month. He lives quietly and knits. He isn&rsquo;t embarrassed to talk about it. He has been knitting since he was a child, the oldest of 13 children who all knit to supplement their wardrobes. He knits his own wool undershirts. He cooks his own food, steak for lunch and lasagna for midnight snacks. He listens to music and answers fan mail grown to 100 letters a day. And at 42 he plays incredible goal. &ldquo;It is hard to believe, but I am better now than I was at 22. My reflexes are faster and I am smarter,&rdquo; he says. &#9632;

<div class="byline">BY DONALD BERNS</div>ST. LOUIS&mdash;The St. Louis Blues are fighting their way through the Stanley Cup playoffs without their exciting right winger, Gary Sabourin.Sabourin&rsquo;s leg was broken when he slammed into the goalpost March 5 against Toronto, and Sabby has been hobbling with his leg in a cast.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-03600/3058155-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="278" height="394"><figcaption class="caption-body">Gary Sabourin</figcaption></div>Sabourin said, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s really disappointing the way this year went&mdash;not being able to complete the season and get into the playoffs. Sitting on the sidelines is just a big nothing; I&rsquo;d sure rather be playing.&rdquo;Sabourin&rsquo;s injury came at a bad time for the Blues, as they were trying to put more punch into their offense. Garry Unger, Fran Huck, Wayne Connelly and Carl Brewer were being successfully blended into the St. Louis lineup when Sabourin&rsquo;s leg was broken. Sabourin knows how to score, and the Blues could be using his kind of flashy offense to go with that of their other top guns.&ldquo;I always look forward to the playoffs,&rdquo; Sabourin said. &ldquo;I like the pressure of the playoffs, and I&rsquo;ve never had any trouble getting prepared for them. This year I&rsquo;ll just have to suffer through watching them.&rdquo;On the night that Sabourin&rsquo;s leg was broken Jacques Plante was in goal for the Maple Leafs, and Sabourin and Fran Huck had a two-on-one break against Toronto&rsquo;s Brian Spencer.&ldquo;Fran was carrying the puck on the left boards, and I was in the middle, &ldquo;Sabourin said. &ldquo;I got a step on Spencer, and, if the puck had come, I would have been in front of the net. But Fran didn&rsquo;t pass, and Spencer came at me from an angle.&ldquo;We bumped, and Spencer went into the net, and I went into the post,&rdquo; Sabourin said. &ldquo;I knew right away that it wasn&rsquo;t just a bruise. I knew something was broken or badly torn.&rdquo;The break was just above the ankle on the inside of his left leg. The cast placed on his leg extended above the knee and prevented Sabby from bending his knee. He found that watching the Blues play from any seat in the St. Louis Arena was impossible without having his leg in an aisle or on a stairway.&ldquo;I&rsquo;d watch the games on closed-circuit television in the dressing room,&rdquo; Sabourin said. &ldquo;But I&rsquo;d get so disgusted with that arrangement that five minutes after a period started I&rsquo;d leave the dressing room and stand on my crutches in a walkway so I could see the action. Finally, the cast was cut down to below mv knee so I could sit down better.&rdquo;With no chance of playing anymore this season Sabourin&rsquo;s broken leg will have more time to calcify and regain its strength with an opportunity for rehabilitation this summer.&ldquo;I have a couple of hockey schools this summer, so the skating should help the leg,&rdquo; Sabourin said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll have four weeks at the Blues&rsquo; hockey school in St. Louis in July and then three weeks at another hockey school in Sudbury, Ont., in August.&rdquo; &#9632;

DETROIT &mdash;Despite the dismal season just turned in by the Red Wings, this has not been an entirely blue hockey season in Detroit and all the thanks go to youngsters.For the second straight year three Detroit-area teams won national titles and the city&rsquo;s best team, the Olympia Agencies Junior Wings, won the Southern Ontario Hockey Association playoffs, in an otherwise all-Canadian league.The suburb of St. Clair Shores won its second U.S. Junior (20 and under) championship in three years &mdash; Olympia won it last year &mdash; by defeating a Detroit team in the finals on Ron Willette&rsquo;s goal with just 15 seconds to play. The score was 6-5.Suburban Dearborn waltzed to the U.S. Midget championship by walloping Seattle, 8-1, in the final.Livonia, another suburb, won the U.S. Pee Wee crown in four straight games, whipping Mounds View, Minn., 7-1, in the final.All three of the teams play a 20-30 game schedule locally and then play as many as 40-45 more against teams from Ontario and occasionally Quebec. The heavy competition pays off in national titles &mdash; two years ago Michigan won all five U.S. crowns, an unprecedented sweep.The best club &mdash; the Junior Wings &mdash; has two very familiar names, Mark and Marty Howe. Mark, just 15 and playing Junior A, and Marty did all the scoring in the game that clinched the SOHA playoffs.Detroit was down 3-0 to Guelph with 8:18 to play and scored three times to get the tie and necessary point to win the eight point series.Mark scored his 11th goal of the playoffs to start the rally and then Marty, a defenseman, got his second and with just 33 seconds left lofted a backhander in an attempt to just get the puck in Guelph territory.But the puck hit goalie Jake Dupuis on the shoulder and deflected into the net for the tying goal.&ldquo;It was a wonderful feeling watching him doing that,&rdquo; said one fan afterward. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s one of my biggest thrills. I felt like bawling. That&rsquo;s the closest I&rsquo;ve come to crying in a long time.&rdquo;The fan? Of course. Gordie Howe.&mdash;BERRY<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-03581/3058269-1-eng-US/f0009-032.jpg" title="f0009-03" width="247" height="437"><figcaption class="caption-body">Marty Howe</figcaption></div> &#9632;

<div class="byline">BY JACK BERRY</div>DETROIT &mdash;Eenie, meenie, minie mo. Who will be second to go?That&rsquo;s the little verse they&rsquo;re singing around Olympia these days as the Red Wing brass and scouting staff try to decide on who they will pick in the June amateur draft after California passes in favor of Montreal and Sam Pollock grabs the plum, Guy Lafleur.Everyone is agreed that Lafleur will be the first selection in the draft but no one, least of all the Red Wings who are going to do the picking, are agreed on No. 2.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-01793/3058238-1-eng-US/f0009-012.jpg" title="f0009-01" width="257" height="368"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jocelyn Guevremont</figcaption></div>The Wings &ldquo;won&rdquo; the second pick in rather ignominious fashion &mdash; by having the second worst record in the NHL and finishing behind two brand new expansion clubs, Buffalo and Vancouver.&ldquo;Well,&rdquo; said Red Wing coach Doug Barkley philosophically, &ldquo;it doesn&rsquo;t make much difference whether you&rsquo;re fifth, sixth or seventh &mdash; you&rsquo;re out of the playoffs &mdash; but the second draft choice has to be better than the third.&rdquo;The Wings&rsquo; fans, who suffered much this past season, certainly hope so.The Wings&rsquo; most urgent need is goalkeeping but the scouts say there isn&rsquo;t a decent big goalie available this year. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re all little guys,&rdquo; said scout Jack Paterson.And, following the thinking of Boston, New York and Montreal which have dispatched nearly everyone under six feet, the Red Wings are thinking big &hellip; or are they?Marcel Dionne is only 5-foot-7 according to the Detroit scouts. But there are many who feel the St. Catharines star should be the No. 2 pick and some even who feel he is better than Lafleur.Dionne, a left-hand shooting center, has good weight in his favor &mdash; 170 pounds according to Red Wing estimates &mdash; and general manager Ned Harkness likens him to Henri Richard.If the Wings don&rsquo;t go for Dionne there&rsquo;s a feeling they will tab defenseman Jocelyn Guevremont of the Junior Canadiens.Guevremont is a 6-1, 185-pounder and he&rsquo;s a rushing defenseman. &ldquo;I would compare him to Bill White,&rdquo; said Detroit rookie Guy Charron.The Wings made a Junior Canadiens&rsquo; defenseman their top choice last year &mdash; Serge Lajeunesse. The youngster was impressive in training camp but was less than that after being called up from Fort Worth early in the season when then general manager Sid Abel let Bobby Baun go for $30,000.Lajeunesse was thrown into a whirlpool &mdash; a struggling club with a weak defense &mdash; and he had no pro experience. The jump from Junior A to the NHL is tough when the player is a forward; it&rsquo;s almost impossible if he&rsquo;s a goaltender or a defenseman.<div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0009-02714/3058231-1-eng-US/f0009-022.jpg" title="f0009-02" width="1120" height="869"><figcaption class="caption-body">Hockey Nows Photo by Robert Shaver Veteran GORDIE HOWE has done if again. The great one has been selected the Red Wings&rsquo; most valuable player for the 15th time in his 25-year NHL career, all with the Detroit club.</figcaption></div>While Dionne and Guevremont are the leading contenders for Detroit&rsquo;s pick, the Wings are looking at others &mdash; left wing Richard Martin of the Junior Canadiens, center Chuck Arnason of the Flin Flon Bombers, defenseman Ron Jones of the Edmonton Oil Kings, center Larry Wright of the Regina Pats and (Center Gene Carr of Flin Flon.&ldquo;This won&rsquo;t be as good a draft as last year,&rdquo; Paterson said. &ldquo;There aren&rsquo;t that many outstanding players around.&rdquo;Eight of the first 14 drafted last June spent most of the season in the NHL led by Buffalo&rsquo;s Gil Perreault and Vancouver&rsquo;s Dale Tallon, the 1-2 picks.RED WING NOTES: Despite their sorriest season in history, the Red Wings drew over a half million fans for the second straight year, pulling in 512,152 in 39 games, 26,306 under last year&rsquo;s record which was reached in 38 games. The Wings averaged 13,132 this season, their third highest average.The club gave out big lapel badges in honor of Gordie Howe&rsquo;s 25 years with the club &hellip; they passed them out at the final home game which also was a birthday party for the 43-year-old Howe.Almost as happy as Howe was club captain Alex Delvecchio &hellip; Alex&rsquo;s company made up the badges.Helen Adams, widow of Detroit&rsquo;s &ldquo;Mr. Hockey,&rdquo; Jack Adams, made a presentation to Howe in pre-game ceremonies that touched the standing crowd of 14,738 and Howe.To no one&rsquo;s surprise, Howe was voted Detroit&rsquo;s most valuable player by the hockey writers &hellip; it was the 15th time in his 25 years.Rookie Tom Webster may not be No. 1 in the hearts of the Calder Trophy selectors but he was No. 1 in Detroit &mdash; Webster collected trophies as top goal scorer (30), top point man (67) and best rookie. &#9632;

But this club has shown over and over again that it can rise to the occasion. And this is it. I just hope they&rsquo;re ready.&rdquo;When Reay mentioned &ldquo;ready&rdquo;, he meant psychologically ready. Ironically, the winter-long string of injuries had tapered off as the playoffs loomed and only Goalie Gerry Desjardins was ailing. But the mental outlook. The Hawks copped the West Division by 20 points. Since before Christmas, the question was not would the Hawks win the division, but just by how much. The foregone conclusion matured into a bygone conclusion &mdash; the Hawks in a cakewalk. If his athletes had allowed their ambitions to erode somewhat, Reay was staking his hopes on that one truism &mdash; that, in fact, during the campaign whenever an &ldquo;occasion&rdquo; arose, the Hawks arose.&ldquo;And we&rsquo;re in pretty good shape as far as experience,&rdquo; Reay added. &ldquo;Last year we were in good physical shape, but we didn&rsquo;t have the experience we&rsquo;ve got now.&rdquo;The coach also doffed his hat toward the Philadelphia Flyers, Chicago&rsquo;s first around foe, called them &ldquo;a well-disciplined, strong defensive club.&rdquo; And Reay has always been an admirer of the Flyers&rsquo; top gun, classy Bobby Clarke.Toward the very end of the regular schedule, Reay disbanded extended use of all his players and reverted basically to employing three top lines and four defensemen (&ldquo;You can&rsquo;t train a horse to run six furlongs for a month, then expect him to run a mile and a quarter.&rdquo;) The top lines stood, from left to right: Bobby Hull&mdash;Bryan Campbell&mdash;Chico Maki; Dennis Hull&mdash;Stan Mikita&mdash;Cliff Koroll; Danny O&rsquo;Shea&mdash;Pit Martin&mdash;Jim Pappin.Components of a fourth line included center Lou Angotti, right wing Eric Nesterenko, left wing Dan Maloney and Gerry Pinder, who can play either flank. Angotti and Nesterenko rank as the club&rsquo;s top penaltykillers.The defensive pairs were: Keith Magnuson&mdash;Doug Jarrett; Pat Stapleton&mdash;Bill White; plus Jerry Korab and Paul Shmyr.The goaltending rested with Tony Esposito, who on the last weekend of the campaign saw the Vezina Trophy officially wrested from his grasp by New York&rsquo;s Ed Giacomin and Gilles Villemure. Esposito&rsquo;s backup was young Ken Brown, summoned from Dallas. But Reay indicated that Brown might not be the team&rsquo;s final sub in the nets. A further call to the minors was possible. At any rate, a return by Desjardins (broken forearm) for any portion of the playoffs was only remotely possible.The Hawks lost three of their remaining four contests. The last was a 3-2 setback to Toronto in Chicago, and it marked the second home defeat to the Leafs and Goalie Bernie Parent this campaign the only rival to do so. And some hockey buffs saw significance in that because a semi-final playoff meeting between the Leafs and Hawks was possible. Also the Leafs took the season series (3-2-1) from Chicago, and nobody else did that in the last two years.Probably the story of the year in the Hawks&rsquo; teepee was the performance of Dennis Hull, the &ldquo;other&rdquo; Hull for so long, a class man who hit the 40-goal mark and silenced the gallery which had always demanded more. And nobody was happier than Reay, who asserted that &ldquo;things finally broke for Dennis&hellip; but remember, he&rsquo;s always done a good job for us.&rdquo;The top comeback chapter was penned by Stapleton, who watched half of last season while on crutches but returned to the blueline this year and was honored with a berth in the January All Star game. First team, too.Most valuable player? How about the &ldquo;other&rdquo; Hull&hellip; Bobby. A total of 44 goals and a fine all-around year, plus this from Reay: &ldquo;A super-athlete; this might have been Bobby&rsquo;s best hockey ever.&rdquo;HAWKEY TALK: Stan and Jill Mikita&rsquo;s newest arrival, their second son, has been named Christopher Stanley. Said Daddy: &ldquo;Stanley, as in Stanley Cup&rdquo;&hellip; Martin&rsquo;s two goals in final game continued a string of strong finales. Last year, he had a hat trick in the windup game, the year before four goals&hellip; Magnuson completed the season with a record 291 penalty minutes and injured knees. &#9632;

The New York Rangers had to come from behind against the pesky young Toronto Leafs to even their set at 2-2 with the next game on Madison Square Garden ice. And the St. Louis Blues were having their problems staying ahead of the Minnesota North Stars and they, too, were tied 2-2 in their best-of-seven affair.The Hawks toyed with the hapless Philly Flyers in their best-of-seven series winning 5-2, 6-2, 3-2 and 6-2 outscoring the Flyers 20-8 with Hull showing the way with six goals. Hull put the third game on ice with two third-period goals to beat the Flyers and then joined with Pappin, who scored three times while Cliff Koroll connected for two, to put the Flyers away for the season.Paul Henderson of the Leafs was the scoring star of the Ranger-Leaf series counting five goals in the first three games. Bobby Orr was the big man for the Bruins in their series with Montreal with a hat trick in the fourth game after sensational young Ken Dryden had virtually stood the Bruins on their collective heads in the series. Frank Mahovlich also provided some big scoring for the Canadiens, who appeared for a time they were going to run away and upset the Bruins.<div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-02670/3058578-1-eng-US/f0012-022.jpg" title="f0012-02" width="1123" height="1004"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-03531/3058571-1-eng-US/f0012-032.jpg" title="f0012-03" width="1122" height="986"><figcaption class="caption-body">Hockey News Photos by Robert ShaverGoaler TONY ESPOSITO, top, tended net for all four Chicago victories in first-round playoff with Philadelphia.

Looking At Playoff Picture

<h2>In The East</h2>Paul Henderson played a major role in the Leafs&rsquo; making the Stanley Cup playoffs this year. With the post-season round up, he hasn&rsquo;t lost any of his momentum as the New York Rangers discovered last week.Henderson was a virtual ball of fire against the surprised Rangers, who had to battle back to gain a 22 split in the first four games of their series with the Leafs. One reason they did was because they didn&rsquo;t contain Henderson, who broke out for five playoff goals in the first three games.Outfitted in a specially-designed bird-cage face mask to protect his dislocated jaw, Henderson rammed in two goals in the series opener, two in the second and one in the third game.THE HOCKEY NEWS has selected Henderson as the East Division player whom we think belongs among the NHL&rsquo;s Stars Of The Week.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-02655/3058960-1-eng-US/f0014-022.jpg" title="f0014-02" width="496" height="564"><figcaption class="caption-body">PAUL HENDERSON&hellip; Toronto Maple Leafs</figcaption></div><h2>In The West</h2><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-03511/3058953-1-eng-US/f0014-032.jpg" title="f0014-03" width="481" height="561"><figcaption class="caption-body">BOBBY HULL&hellip; Chicago Black Hawks</figcaption></div>Bobby Hull has always been a prolific playoff scorer in the past and it appears he still hasn&rsquo;t lost his touch.The Hawks&rsquo; Golden Jet turned his wrath on the Philadelphia Flyers this past week scoring six times in the first three games of their series and the result was the imminent elimination of the Flyers in four straight games. Hull didn&rsquo;t score in the series windup but he did everything else, like setting up three goals.It was like old times for the great Chicago left winger who has a career total of 47 goals in 90 past playoff starts. His six goals to date also puts him in line to surpass his season high of 10 set in 1964-65.THE HOCKEY NEWS has selected Bobby Hull as the West Division player whom we think belongs among the NHL&rsquo;s Stars Of The Week. &#9632;

Philadelphia, which surged into third on the final weekend just like Minnesota had done last season, took on the Chicago Black Hawks.The insinuations were clear enough that the North Stars, anxious to avoid a confrontation with the Hawks, did not go full throttle over the windup games.&ldquo;Anyone who would ever think that is being ridiculous,&rdquo; steamed general manager Wren Blair. &ldquo;We wanted desperately to finish third. Taking into consideration the addition of Chicago to the West Division this season, that would have been our best finish ever.&ldquo;Another thing &mdash; I&rsquo;ve been around hockey a long time and I&rsquo;ve never heard of any team letting down in that situation. It&rsquo;s hard enough teaching your guys to win &mdash; I don&rsquo;t know how in the world you would or could teach them to lose.&rdquo;The Minnesota management is critical of the NHL&rsquo;s ancient playoff structure, which pits the first-place team against the third-place team, with No. 2 facing No. 4. The North Stars feel, of course, that the first and fourth-place teams should meet in the opening round.&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t suppose it mattered much for a long time how the pairings were set up,&rdquo; said Jack Gordon, the Minnesota coach. &ldquo;All the teams were that evenly-balanced.&ldquo;But the NHL created a monster when they put Chicago into the West Division. It threw the balance all out of whack. I knew we&rsquo;d be charged with jockeying for position if we lost some games after clinching our playoff spot. We had two long team meetings on the subject.&ldquo;Maybe I stressed it so much that a negative effect was created. The team was trying so hard to win, and to avoid the stigma of jockeying, that it became so tight it could not win.&rdquo;And so the North Stars, after defeating Los Angeles on March 23 to clinch a playoff berth, tied Philadelphia two nights later and then lost their last four.&ldquo;There were several reasons for that,&rdquo; Gordon said, &ldquo;and they had nothing whatever to do with any fear of playing the Chicago Black Hawks. What the heck, we played them pretty well this season (2-3-1).&ldquo;The other clubs put a tight check on our best scoring line (Bill Goldsworthy, Jude Drouin and Danny Grant). Our other lines didn&rsquo;t take up the slack. And we ran into a couple of hot goaltenders. We got 18 shots in one period against Vancouver and 19 in another, and still we got beat 2-1.&rdquo;But the veiled hints that the North Stars had not gone all out continued, even though Clarence Campbell, the NHL president who witnessed their 3-2 final-game loss at Philadelphia, exonerated the Stars completely.&ldquo;There was not one bit of wrong-doing connected with the North Stars,&rdquo; Campbell said after the game. &ldquo;Hockey has been justified.&rdquo;But the North Stars, anxious to avoid any future repetition of their ordeal, would like to see the NHL governors change the alignment to put the first and fourth-place teams in opposition.&ldquo;I&rsquo;d like to think that it will be changed in the June meeting,&rdquo; said Gordon Ritz, the Minnesota governor. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m certainly all for it. The setup should have been changed a long time ago.&rdquo;By finishing fourth, of course, the North Stars were guaranteed no success in the playoffs. St. Louis, a talented and experienced team, has never lost a Stanley Cup series to Minnesota. The Blues won the 1968 series in seven games and last year in six.NORTH STAR NOTES: Drouin, Minnesota&rsquo;s leading scorer with 67 points, won the club awards as rookie of the year, most popular player and the scoring champion. Goalie Cesare Maniago was voted by his teammates as the club&rsquo;s most valuable player &hellip; The North Stars still owe Montreal a player to complete the 1968 deal for Grant and Claude Larose &hellip; The Stars finished their regular home season with an average attendance of 14,503, and their total home figure of just over 565,000 was up 21,000 from last season. &#9632;

North Stars Want New Playoff Structure In West

<div class="byline">BY PAT CURRAN</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-01742/3059022-1-eng-US/f0015-012.jpg" title="f0015-01" width="535" height="511"><figcaption class="caption-body">KEN DRYDEN</figcaption></div>MONTREAL &mdash;Someone joked that it was &ldquo;the long arm of the law&rdquo; when would-be lawyer Ken Dryden reached out to steal a sure goal off the stick of super-scorer Phil Esposito early in the fourth game of the Montreal-Boston series.As it turned out, the law of averages caught up to the rookie Canadiens goaltender as the Bruins came on to square the quarter-final 2-2.Still the 23-year-old Dryden appeared due to be arrested because of his phenomenal netminding that helped the Canadiens make the playoff interesting against the powerful East Division champions.Not since Frank McCool, who helped Toronto capture the Stanley Cup away back in 1945, has a rookie been so outstanding under pressure of the playoffs.Long before the post-season rounds started, the word was that the new-look Canadiens could be tough provided they got steady goaltending. But hardly their most rabid supporters expected it to come from the six-foot-four rookie when Coach Al MacNeil gambled on him from the start of the series at Boston Garden.Because of Dryden&rsquo;s brilliance, the Bruins knew they had their work cut out even in winning the opener 3-1.Dryden, who had given up only nine goals for a 1.65 average in six scheduled outings, took the playoff start in stride.&ldquo;I knew there was a 50-50 chance that I would play and the pressure of the game wasn&rsquo;t any more or any more or any less than I expected.&rdquo;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0015-03554/3059015-1-eng-US/f0015-032.jpg" title="f0015-03" width="542" height="557"><figcaption class="caption-body">JACQUES LAPERRIERE</figcaption></div>Thus, although the Habs trailed 5-1 at one point of the second game at the Garden, maybe the thought of steady goaltending had something to do with a pheonomenal comeback. They came on to score five third-period goals to win 7-5 with the old pros carrying the load up front.Jean Beliveau, who scored two goals and set up two others, said it for the whole team.&ldquo;I felt that the score didn&rsquo;t tell the real story of the game and if we got a couple of fast goals we might pull it out.&rdquo;And that&rsquo;s what happened with Big Jean bagging a couple and then making the big play for John Ferguson&rsquo;s winner.Interesting too, was the contribution of veteran Henri Richard who limited Phil Esposito to only three shots in that game. He had knows two weeks before the close of the schedule that he would play against Espo.&ldquo;It wasn&rsquo;t so difficult because Esposito is not that fast a skater and the only thing was to follow him,&rdquo; explained Richard. &ldquo;I knew I couldn&rsquo;t try to bump him around but I watched the passes between Bobby Orr and Esposito.&rdquo;When the series resumed at the Forum, a record crowd of 18,904 gave the home team its greatest ovation in years the Habs responded by surprisingly taming the Bruins 3-1 to lead the series.Esposito wound up with a goal 29 seconds after the opening faceoff, following a miscue by defenseman Jacques Laperriere at the Boston blueline. But the plucky rearguard played a big part in the rally by setting up Frank Mahovlich and then socring the winning goal himself.Once again, Dryden was the key figure in making 36 saves 14 &mdash; of them in a one-sided second period during which he did everything but eat the puck.Through the fourth game, starting with that early steal off Esposito &mdash; &ldquo;I still don&rsquo;t believe it&rdquo; &mdash; Dryden kept the Canadiens alive until the powerful Bruins took over.&ldquo;He reminds me of Tony the way he takes up so much of the net and has a great catching hand&rdquo; says Esposito.Knowing how much Phil thinks of his brother Tony, the Chicago goalie, that&rsquo;s quite a compliment for Dryden. &#9632;

They wound up with a 25-40-13 record for 63 points, more victories than and as many points as Buffalo and more of both than four other teams &mdash; Vancouver, Pittsburgh, California and Detroit.From an NHL recordsetting low of 14-52-10 last season, they improved by 11 victories and 25 points, though only one place-in the standings as they failed to make the playoffs for the second straight season. There was consolation as the Seals of Oakland removed them from the record book with a new NHL high of 53 losses in a season.Owner Jack Kent Cooke said at season&rsquo;s end, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m terribly disappointed. We improved, but I expected more. It began to look good for us for awhile, but we fell back. We did not have certain key veterans all season (Bob Pulford, Ralph Backstrom and Harry Howell, who played brilliantly at season&rsquo;s end,) but with the players we had, we should have done better.&rdquo;Cooke lays the blame for the team&rsquo;s failures to inconsistency (which was caused mainly on defense and especially in the nets) and inability to beat comparable teams (which is shown in 0-5-1, 1-2-3, 1-2-3 and 2-3-1 showings against Minnesota, Philadelphia, Buffalo and Vancouver, respectively).Manager Larry Regan, who coached this season for the first season and still hopes to return for another try, fingered the same problems as he set out on a scouting and trade-talk trip in which he hoped to land another defenseman (Gary Bergman of Detroit?) and another goaler (Phil Myre of Montreal or Ed Johnston of Boston?)&ldquo;I was far from satisfied, though I think we made progress and concluded the season with a solid nucleus which can be the base of a winner next season,&rdquo; Regan observed. He no doubt was pleased to wind up ahead of Pittsburgh and Vancouver, whose coaches, Red Kelly and Hal Laycoe, formerly coached under his management in L.A, and left under unhappy circumstances.Actually, the Kings did perform about the same all through the season. Their quarter marks were 8-10, 3-10-7, 6-10-3 and 810-2. Their half marks were 1120-8 and 14-20-5. Thus, they lost *10 games each quarter and 20 each half. They were 17-14-8 at home, 8-26-5 away, 15-19-9 against expansionists, 10-21-4 against established teams.Only in the first quarter of their history (10-6-3) have they won more than eight games in their four-year history. Only their first-season record (31-33-10) surpassed this one, although their second season (24-42-10) got them into the playoffs, where they won the first round.They won 11 games on the road their first season, five their second, only two their third, but came back with eight this season. Their first season they were 313340, just two under 500. Their second season they were 17 under. From 38 under last season, they came back to only 15 under this season. But that&rsquo;s still a long way under, so there still is a long way to go.KINGS THINGS &mdash; Mike Byers led the team in goals with 27, Juha Widing in points with 66. The team did break most of its scoring records, which we will detail later&hellip;Stu Nahan, Sports Director of Channel 7 (ABC&mdash;TV) in L.A., has had to resign from future duties as the television voice of the Philadelphia Flyers because of demands on him locally.

Haliburton Hockey Haven

<div class="byline">BY HAL SIGURDSON</div>VANCOUVER &mdash;George Gardner says he felt all along that he was good enough to play goal in the National Hockey League. It&rsquo;s just that it took almost the entire Vancouver Canucks&rsquo; first season to give him a chance to prove it.The Canucks went through the season with three goaltenders &mdash; veteran Charlie Hodge, young Dune Wilson and Gardner.On most nights, the 28-year-old Gardner drew the short straw.The strategy of general manager Bud Poile and coach Hal Laycoe became obvious early. Hodge would get most of the home starts and would, in fact, start nearly every game the Canucks figured they had a chance to win.Wilson, the 22-year-old first expansion pick, drew most of the road assignments. The Canucks consider the youngster a potential NHL star.The strategy may have been sound, but it didn&rsquo;t leave much work left over for Gardner who figured he deserved a chance to play.Finally, Poile asked Gardner to voluntarily accept an assignment with the Seattle Totems of the Western Hockey League for the balance of the season.George refused.&ldquo;I think I&rsquo;m good enough to play in the NHL,&rdquo; he insisted. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d like to play in Vancouver, but if I can&rsquo;t I want to play for another NHL team&rdquo;.Poile came close to dealing him to Detroit, but early in March, with the Canucks far out of the playoff picture, he decided to alter his battle plan.Hodge would become a scout for the balance of the season and Wilson and Gardner would alternate starts in the Canucks&rsquo; remaining games.Gardner responded with a sensational game against the St. Louis Blues. Vancouver won 4-1, their first-ever win against the west division&rsquo;s second place finishers. Then he blanked the Buffalo Sabres until the third period right in Buffalo. The Canucks eventually lost 3-1 with the Sabres&rsquo; final goal scored into an empty net. But on the trend of play, the Canucks should not even have come close. Shots on goal were 44-18 in Buffalo&rsquo;s favor.Gardner got into the Canucks&rsquo; second-to-last game as a starter and won it 7-2 over California. Wilson closed the season backstopping the windup game, which went to Los Angeles 4-2.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0017-01495/3059246-1-eng-US/f0017-012.jpg" title="f0017-01" width="536" height="664"><figcaption class="caption-body">GEORGE GARDNER&hellip; Waited His Chance</figcaption></div>For Gardner, the win ended his season record at six wins, eight losses and a tie, but he led the club in goals-against average with 3.38. Wilson, who played twice as many games as Gardner, had a 4.28 average but took the brunt of the Vancouver defeats with a 3-25-2 record. Hodge was 15-3-5.It was a good finish for Gardner. who shouldn&rsquo;t have nearly as much trouble finding work next season.CANUCK NOTES: Wayne Maki led club in scoring for season with 63 points on 25 goals and 38 assists&hellip;Rosaire Paiement was the Canucks&rsquo; No. 1 goal scorer with 34. Maki and Murray Hall were the leading playmakers with 38 assists each&hellip;Paiement also topped club in penalty department with 152 minutes &hellip; Vancouver had dubious distinction of leading the NHL in penalty minutes. Canucks spent 1,369 minutes in box and also allowed most power play goals against them, 80&hellip;On the other hand, their 52 power play goals, eight of which were scored by Maki, put them ahead of such other NHL clubs as Philadelphia, Detroit, California, Minnesota and Los Angeles. &#9632;

Gardner Proves To Canucks He Belongs In Big Time

They were a smash hit at the box office, Playing before 23 sellout gatherings in 39 Memorial Auditorium appearances, and attracting 379,121 for an average of 9,721 in a 10,429 seat house.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0018-05181/3059532-1-eng-US/f0018-052.jpg" title="f0018-05" width="263" height="411"><figcaption class="caption-body">Larry Mavety</figcaption></div>The season-ticket total has moved beyond the 7,000-plateau, and will reach 10,000 &mdash; or better &mdash; when a 5,000-seat balcony is added in time for the 1971-72 season.On the ice, the final arithmetic is even more impressive. The Sabres won 24, lost 39 and tied 15, and finished with 63 points. Four teams &mdash; Vancouver, Detroit, Pittsburgh and California &mdash; were beneath them in the overall standings, and Los Angeles also wound up with 63 points. However, the Sabres will get the No. 5 draft pick, one ahead of Los Angeles, since the Kings won 25 games, one more than Buffalo.The Sabres played almost .500 hockey across the second half of the season, and were at their peak in the closing weeks, winning eight, tieing four and losing only three of their last 15 games.At the outset, they lost 11 of their first 14, and were 16 points behind Vancouver at Christmas. In the final standings, they finished seven points in front of the Canucks, a remarkable comebackThe Sabres locked up fifth place in the formidable East Division two weeks before the season ended, and finished 19 points back of the fourth-place Toronto Maple Leafs.At home, the Sabres won 16, lost 13 and tied 10, and on the road it was 8-26-5.If anything troubled Imlach, it was the road record.&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve got to get stronger away from home &hellip; you don&rsquo;t win titles unless you can win on the road,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I had hoped to win at least 10 on the road. However, it&rsquo;s obvious we&rsquo;re in business now, and are no longer just an expansion team.&rdquo;Imlach&rsquo;s maneuvering after the season started brought Steve Atkinson, Dick Duff, Larry Keenan, Paul Andrea, Eddie Shack and Jean-Guy Talbet here. Don Marshall and Phil Goyette missed the first month after contract problems.The Big Shooter was Gilbert Perreault, the prize voungster certain to win the rookie award. He finished with 38 goals and 34 assists, 72 points, to set two NHL rookie records, for goals and total points.This is the kid Imlach will build the club around. He&rsquo;s certain to become a genuine superstar, and Phil Esposito, the Boston Bruins&rsquo; 76-goal shooter, says if anybody breaks that record, it will be Perreault.His trouble points, Imlach readily admits, are on left wing and at the defense.&ldquo;I need help there&hellip; and I&rsquo;ll get it, although I don&rsquo;t know how or when&rdquo;, he says &ldquo;We&rsquo;re just three or four players away from being a real good hockey club.&rdquo;Two left-wingers, Duff and Reg Fleming, aren&rsquo;t expected back. Duff, 35, didn&rsquo;t have much bounce after a fine NHL career, and Fleming, also 35, was used mainly to kill penalties.Fleming&rsquo;s forte has been muscle. However, his other skills have diminished to the point that the Sabres can no longer afford his strong-arm tactics, which also have reduced markedly.Jean-Guy Talbot, a tested defenseman nearing his 39th birthday, probably will retire to enter private business in St. Louis. At 37, center Phil Goyette had a fine season and may give it another whirl, as may left-winger Don Marshall, 39.The Sabres have already purchased defenseman Larry Mavety from Denver, and he will get a thorough look at camp. &#9632;

ALLAN STANLEY’S

<div class="byline">BY JOHN PORTER</div>OAKLAND &mdash;The California Golden Seals were unable to escape the 1970-71 National Hockey League season without suffering the humiliation of a parting slap.Playing their final game in Los Angeles &mdash; on April 3, the meandering Seals got together for seven minutes and had a 3-0 lead over the Kings.The Gulden Ones blew a lot of 1-0 leads the past season, but it took a little added ice laxity for the soporific Seals to give this one to the Kings, 6-4.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0019-01479/3059722-1-eng-US/f0019-012.jpg" title="f0019-01" width="257" height="434"><figcaption class="caption-body">Randy Rota</figcaption></div>In return Los Angeles handed over the ignominious line in the NHL record book for mosts defeats in a season to California. Last year the Kings lost 52 games; this time the Seals dropped 53.Fred Glover, preparing to travel to as many playoff games as possible, paused to analyse his team.&ldquo;The worst thing that happened to us this season?&rdquo; the coach mused. &ldquo;Well the overall injury picture wasn&rsquo;t all of it. It was a combination of that and the attitude of certain players on the team to the situation we faced.&rdquo;He saw no reason to brand anybody by name. Nearly every player, with the obvious exception of Dennis Hexta11, was guilty of some bad skating during the season.&ldquo;Game in and game out the one who always tried would have to be Hextall,&rdquo; said Glover. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think anyone in the stands would contradict that.&rdquo;The Seals&rsquo; first-year center led the team in scoring with 52 points and penalties with 217 minutes.California&rsquo;s other big penalty man, Carol Vadnais, missed half the season with injuries. Consequently, the Seals often were physically manhandled.&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll have a lot more players in training camp next season than we did last year,&rdquo; Glover said. &ldquo;Unfortunately we may be stuck with certain individuals. We may have to suffer with them longer than we want.&rdquo;Hoping to offset another disaster, Glover is counting on a lot on his youngster who helped salvage the American Hockey League&rsquo;s Eastern flag for Providence.&ldquo;A lot of key goals scored in Providence&rsquo;s run for first place were made by young Seals&rsquo; prospects,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Like Randy Rota, for instance, who scored three winning goals in five games.&rdquo;Glover said some of his veterans may be surprised who makes the California protected list this time.&ldquo;Somewhere along the line they&rsquo;re going to wake up,&rdquo; he threatened.It sounds as if it could be a rude awakening.SEALS SHOTS: Scheduled for post-season operations were Bill Hicke (elbow) and Earl Ingarfield (knee)&hellip; Ernie Hicke led Hextall in goals scored, 2221&hellip; Seals gave up 320 goals, worst in the NHL, and scored 199 times, second worst behind Minnesota &hellip; Considering the finish, California was decent at home (17-21-1), but calamitous on the road (3-32-4).<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0019-02411/3059715-1-eng-US/f0019-022.jpg" title="f0019-02" width="912" height="1004"><figcaption class="caption-body">DENNIS HEXTALL &hellip; One Seal Who Didn&rsquo;t Disappoint</figcaption></div> &#9632;

AHL PLAYOFFS

PROVIDENCE&mdash;The Providence Reds paid little attention to the oddmakers as the Calder Cup playdowns swung away with the Baltimore Clippers picked as the team to beat off their great season.But someone forget to tell the Reds about it. Providence won two of the first three games of their best-of-seven cup sen-fina/s from the Clippers and one of their victories was achieved on Baltimore ice.The Reds won the series opener 2-1, lost the second 3-0 and then returned to Providence for the next two games. They won the third 6-5 to go ahead and put themselves in a position to possibly pull off a major upset.Little Bobby Leduc provided the winning punch in the third game for the Reds by scoring what amounted to the deciding goal in the final period after the Clippers had tied the game at 44. Bill Speer made it 5-4 then Leduc added the sixth before Wayne Rivers connected for Baltimore in a game-closing rally by the Clippers that fell short.While the Reds were making life difficult for the powerful Clippers, the Springfield Kings appeared to be assured of moving into the semi-finals by virtue of two straight wins over Montreal Voyageurs in their best-of-five quarter-final series.The Kings, sparked by Bill Orban&rsquo;s goal scoring, defeated the Voyageurs 3-2 and 4-2 and looked like a cinch to take the sagging Montrealers in the series.The winner of the Springfield-Montreal series was to move against the survivor of the other quarter-finals between Cleveland and Hershey for the right to play in the Calder Cup finals against either Providence or Baltimore.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0020-01325/3059916-1-eng-US/f0020-012.jpg" title="f0020-01" width="545" height="573"><figcaption class="caption-body">BOB LEDUC&hellip; Fires Game Winner</figcaption></div><div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0020-02240/3059909-1-eng-US/f0020-022.jpg" title="f0020-02" width="1712" height="923"><figcaption class="caption-body">Hershey goaler ANDRE GILL is tested from dose in by Cleveland&rsquo;s MIKE CHERNOFF during Calder Cup quarter-final playoff series.</figcaption></div> &#9632;

Ron and Randy have booming shots from left wing and have been marked men.But with all the attention Rota and Garwasiuk received, the American League rookies still managed to blast home goals. Rota had to rank as the big surprise of the season for the Reds. He not only finished with 31 goals to top the club, but he climaxed the 1970 71 season by turning in a sensational four-goal game in the windup weekend against Cleveland. The Barons won the game 9-7 but Rota went over the 30-mark with his four-goal flurry. Garwasiuk just fell short of hitting 30 to end a fine year.Rota, owned by the California Golden Seals which is the parent club of the Reds, started the season like the was going to tear it apart. He earned the name of &lsquo;Rocket&rsquo; because of his rising, forehand drives from left wing.For a while, Randy led the AHL in scoring and he personally played a major role in lifting the Reds into first place in the Eastern Division.Then the word seemed to go out that Rota should be belted, often and hard. Ultimately Randy was injured, sat out some games and when he returned, he was not the same player. At 20 years old, he wondered if the jump to the pro ranks was too big for him&mdash;at least in 1970-71.As time wore on, Coach Larry Wilson helped Rota get back in stride. &ldquo;I did not play him regularly for a while,&rdquo; points out the Reds&rsquo; coach. &ldquo;I wanted him in the lineup but I also wanted to bring him back to form slowly. A young player having a series of bad efforts can really get down.&rdquo;Slowly and surely Rota began to find himself again. And he answered the heavy hitting with some of his own. He slammed into the corners and dug out the puck and surprisingly the Reds began to surge along with the &ldquo;Rocket&rdquo;.Garwasiuk in mid season was taking the same kind of physical beating as Rota. Actually, Ron was still getting his licks. But Garwasiuk wasn&rsquo;t backing down either.Ron is owned outright by the Reds who drafted him last June at Montreal on the recommendation of California Western scout Bob Turner. George Sage, owner of the Providence club, says &ldquo;Garwasiuk is one of the best deals I have ever made. He sure has played well for us.&rdquo;Some months ago, Sage and his top Providence &ldquo;brass&rdquo; got worried about Garwasiuk and sent the 22 year old winger to Miami Beach for a rest. Ron came back rested and strong and became known to his mates as &ldquo;The Miami Kid.&rdquo;With most National Hockey League teams seemingly following the success formula of the Stanley Cup Boston Bruins in looking for big and strong players, Rota and Garwasiuk seem to be too small to move up.But you&rsquo;ll have to convince them. Both insist the name of the game is still putting the puck in the net. They do that well. They said Calvin Murphy, former Niagara hoop star was too small for the National Basketball Association, but he proved otherwise. Maybe Rota and Garwasiuk can do likewise.<div class="figure-block image-bleed"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0021-02133/3060061-1-eng-US/f0021-022.jpg" title="f0021-02" width="2316" height="968"><figcaption class="caption-body">Providence&rsquo;s dynamic little scoring ace RANDY ROTA (20) shows why he was so deadly around American League nets this season as he tallies one of three goals against Springfield.

The race for the prize, emblematic of the circuit&rsquo;s leading goalie in average, went down to the season&rsquo;s final day.Entering the closing day, Gill held the lead, but Kurt, with an extra game to play, turned in 14 minutes and 52 seconds of shutout against the Providence Reds to emerge with the trophy. The league pays $300 to the winner, while the clubs toss in a matching bonus.In the closing weekend, both Hershey coach Frank Mathers and Cleveland&rsquo;s Parker MacDonald juggled their goalies in an effort to try and win it for the respective leaders.Gill and Dan Bouchard split a 3-0 shutout over the Rochester Americans in the Bears&rsquo; final game, while Kurt alternated with Fern Rivard in two of the last three games to eventually pocket the trophy.Another highlight of the Bears&rsquo; final regular season home game was a trophy presentation to defenseman Ralph Keller, who established a new all-time career scoring record of 86 goals by a blueliner. The late Hy Buller, of Cleveland, held the former mark of 79, set insight seasons and 447 games. He also played with Hershey and Indianapolis.Keller, who received a standing ovation from the crowd, has played ten seasons in the AHL, appearing in 627 games.Veteran center Bob Leiter wound up as the Bears&rsquo; leading scorer with 33 goals and 36 assists for 69 points in 72 games. Closing out second was winger Michel Harvey with a 24-40-64 standard. He and Stan Gilbertson shared the lead for most game winning goals with five each. Gilbertson was the No. 1 goal sniper with 31.For the ninth straight year the Bears topped the 200,000 attendance mark, drawing 210,716 fans in closing third in the Western Division with a 31-31-10 log for 72 points.In the stretch run the Bears were the league&rsquo;s hottest team, winning nine and tieing one while losing only five of their last 15 games. &#9632;

HOW THEY STAND

<div class="byline">BY CHUCK SANTANIELLO</div>SPRINGFIELD&mdash;Jimmy Anderson expects to travel over 60,000 miles before the summer comes. The former Springfield Indians&rsquo; and Kings&rsquo; player is now a scout in the Los Angeles organization, in charge of scouting mainly the pro leagues this year.A fixture in this Western Massa chu sett s area, Jimmy is a former resident of Pembroke, Ontario who married a girl from this region, Ginny Pisano. They have a nice family and home in West Springfield, where Jimmy is respected and well-liked by all.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0023-02141/3060302-1-eng-US/f0023-022.jpg" title="f0023-02" width="264" height="420"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jimmy Anderson</figcaption></div>Last winter, &lsquo;Andy&rsquo; was coach of the local Kings when John Wilson was sent up to run the big club. He did a fine job with some great talent as the Kings made it all the way to the playoff finals before losing to Buffalo.Jimmy learned his hockey from the master teacher, Eddie Shore. Actually, he was born into the game too soon, for today he would have been a cinch to make it in the NHL as a player. He was a good winger who skated, scored and worked hard.His job as a scout finds him working with the director of scouting for the parent club, George McGuire. Together they classify the players in various leagues. Jimmy&rsquo;s work will come in handy when the club makes trades and draft time comes.&ldquo;There are many fine prospects around the country,&rdquo; he said, &ldquo;Including several American-born players in the college ranks who have a good chance to make it in the pros. I was very impressed with the players and teams in the International League especially. Real fine prospects.&rdquo;&ldquo;I look for a chippy player,&rdquo; Andy said. &ldquo;It really does not mean too much if a guy looks real pretty, can skate and check and all the rest if he is not chippy, if he is not aggressive. In my book, if the prospect does not display this fight and hustle, it takes away from his ability.&rdquo; &#9632;
