Hockey’s Brother Acts FRANK MAHOVLICH IS A MOODY MASTER of the ice sport. Once he scored 49 goals in a season, another time 48. In his 14-season NHL career, he has scored more than 400 goals. But he twice has cracked up under the strain, requiring rest and isolation. He is intense and serious. He has been traded twice, the last time this season to Montreal, where he joined his younger brother, Pete, who has an opposite personality, carefree and playful.
