Mickey ‘Strong Man’ For Sabres In Stretch
BUFFALO — Larry Mickey has played for Seven NHL clubs and for seven earns in the minors. He never has one to a training camp where he was sure of a job. He was an extra forward for much of this season, but as the Buffalo Sabres battle down the stretch for a playoff berth, Coach Joe Crozier is mighty happy he has the 29-year-old right winger from Western Canada. Mickey is a regular on the checking line, with Don Luce and Craig Ramsay. During a stretch when the Sabres were battling off the Detroit Red Wings to hold fourth place in the NHL’s East Division, that line was doing most of the scoring as well as shadowing the opposition’s big line. In a stretch of seven games, only two of which the Sabres…
Danny O’Shea Plays Big Role In Blues’ West Division Rise St. Louis
Danny O’Shea appears to be a quite pleasant fellow hut he says he plays hockey better if he is a “little irritable.” “For me to be up for a game I have to be a little irritable,” he says, “and, when we lose, it takes awhile to be nice. “I try not to get too down or too up but remain even,” O’Shea said. “Sometimes when I’m down, I come home to my wife, and I know I’m not the most pleasant person.” O’Shea is about to complete his fifth season in the National Hockey League. He has been with three teams, Minnesota, Chicago and St. Louis Blues. The current season has been a crazy one for O’Shea. He started the season with a bizarre chain of events that left him wondering about…
Voyageur Line Over 100 Goals
HALIFAX— The Yvon Lambert-Tony Featherstone-Morris Stafaniw line sailed over the 100-goal mark March 4 with a five-goal outburst in Voyageurs’ 11-3 rout of Jacksonville. Lambert had two for 46, Featherstone one for 40 and Stefaniw two for 17. The way it looks, that line will finish 1-2-3 in the AHL’s individual scoring race. Featherstone scored the game-winning goal in four straight Vee triumphs and carried a string of seven games in which he had scored at least one goal into the March 6 date with Jacksonville. Linemate Lambert set an American League record earlier this season by scoring in 12 straight games. With seven home dates left after March 4, Nova Scotia is looking to set an AHL mark for most points earned at home. The Vees had 53, 10 less than the…
Orr Still Hobbling But Old Jacques Feeling Like Kid Boston
BOSTON — Two fairly-well known names are making the news in Boston as the Stanley Cup playoffs draw nigh…. Bobby Orr, and lo and behold. Jacques Plante, of all people. Oir is continually in the news, but as the Bruins attempt to catch the Rangers and nail down second place in the NHL East, he has been having problems with his cranky left knee. Whether the Bruins finish second or third only mean’s the difference of $2,000 vs. $1,250 per man but since New York and Boston seemed set to face each other no matter what with Montreal out of sight, home ice becomes a big factor. Top team gets first-game ice, and if it goes seven games, lastgame at home also. But whatever happens, a Bobby Orr operating at somewhat near full efficiency…
