Bruins Showing Old Bounce As ‘Chief’, Rookie Shine
BOSTON— Things have begun to liven up for the defending Stanley Cup champion Bruins, off to a rocky start in the early going, but showing signs recently of snapping out of it. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, however, the event that was the most appealing was Johnny Bucyk scoring the 400th goal of his long major league career. “The Chief” scored two goals in a 9-1 romp by the Bruins in Boston Garden over the expansion New York Islanders. This was a game in which little Greg Sheppard hit for the hat trick, his first in the majors, after being called up from the AHL Boston Braves.

CHARLOTTE— They wrote the young Checkers off before the season started but so far they have wins over favored Greensboro and the big power from the North, Syracuse, in the young EHL season. “We can beat anyone in this league, states 24-year-old player-coach Jack Wells. “When we work we get the job done. When we stand around then we get beat. Being young is no excuse to stand around. Charlotte has been tough at home. In 1971-72 they lost only four times in the Charlotte Coliseum.
