Flyers File Objection Over The Inconsistency Of League’s Officials
PHILADELPHIA— Despite the nickname “Ferocious Freddi” when he played for the New York Rangers, Flyers’ coach Fred Shero is ordinarily mild-mannered chap. Keith Alien, the Flyers’ general manager, is a debonair gentleman with as much flare for controversy as Billy Graham. “Kautious Keith” is an appropriate nickname for Allen. Why, then, are Shero and Allen madder than tigers with ingrown toenails? The answer is NHL officiating. The Flyers’ case isn’t another episode of “Why is everybody picking on us?” Surely the league’s leading penalty collectors deserve a sizeable share of their reprimands. Any team that accumulates a record 1,756 penalty minutes, as the Mad Squad did last season, has to be committing a few infractions. What Allen and Shero object to is inconsistency in officiating. As Allen said, “I told Scotty Morrison (NHL referee-in-chief) that…
Chipperfield Heads Top 10 As Pro Scouts Eye ‘74 Picks
SASKATOON — There’s no such thing as a head start on the amateur draft these days. With-28 clubs wallowing in the melting pot of big-time hockey, there’s no choice but to stand in line. Still, tis the season to be jolly and speculate on just exactly which youngsters are in for the biggest bonuses come the annual summer bonanza. After all, the Western Canada Hockey League now has bona-fide public relations personnel throughout the National Hockey League and World Hockey Association. Bobby Clarke, the Flin Flon product, was the most valuable player in the NHL last season. Youngsters like Tom Lysiak, Lanny McDonald, Dave Lewis, John Davidson and Darcy Rota have stepped right into regular employment in the NHL this season. There are bound to be more of the same mould waiting for equivalent…

Runners Glad To Be Home After Disastrous Trip
PHOENIX — The Phoenix Roadrunners skidded home from losing every game on a five-game road trip but the worst appeared over. The Roadrunners were still clinging to share of the Western Hockey League lead with 19 of their 39 road games already out of the way. The Runners’ fifth consecutive loss came in Portland where they have played six games. The Roadrunners have only played seven games at home. Coming up is a string in which they play seven of eight games at home. The Runners are right on the target set by coach Sandy Hucul when he first saw the top-heavy Roadrunner road schedule. Hucul said he’d be happy and the Runners’ chance of repeating as WHL champions would be good if they could reach this point at a .500 pace. They are right…
