Sharks Hoping Tardif Can Hit For 40 Goals
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Sharks welcomed Marc Tardif to the fold when he reported after Oct. I deadline. Coach Terry Slater feels Tardif can be a super star in the WH A. Since the Sharks need scoring it is hoped Marc can hit for 40 goals or more. Los Angeles has team toughness that is deceiving. The Cleveland Crusaders sent a passle of players to Jacksonville of the AHL. but their defense corps will still be the backbone of the team, along with goalie Gerry Cheevers.
