NHL Rule Not Enforced In the final game of the Rangers-Flyers semi-final series, the Rangers were given a penalty for too many men on the ice with 50 seconds left in the game. In the NHL rule book it states in rule 18, paragraph (b) that a penalty shot should have been awarded. Why did referee Art Skov not call it? Secondly, why did Fred Shero not protest? Thirdly, why didn’t Emile Francis call for the shot? It would have been a gamble, but no time elapses on a penalty shot and he may have been able to play the remaining 50 seconds at full strength on a missed shot. R. BITTERMANN, Buffalo, N.Y. (Editor’s note: Rule 18 does state that a penalty shot should have been awarded. For the answers to your questions…
Keller Eyes Coaching Role After Retiring From Bears
HERSHEY — Ralph Keller is now looking for new worlds to conquer in hockey. The Hershey Bears captain and outstanding defenseman announced his retirement as a player only hours before he helped his teammates capture the American League’s Calder Cup championship in five games against the Providence Reds. “I’d like to stay in hockey as a coach.” said Keller, who owns a highly successful beauty salon business in Hershey. Ralph, incidentally, is the only professional hair stylist in hockey. “If the job and money is right, then I’d take a coaching position.” he said. “I can get someone to run the business during the winter if I accept a coaching position. Then when I came back in the summer. I’II take it over myself. There’s no problem on that score.” Keller, 38. skated for the…

New Coach, Goaler Head Up Expected Changes In Sabres
BUFFALO— Fans of the Buffalo Sabres expect some changes before next hockey season rolls around and they are likely to get them. One that is sure, of course, is that a new coach will be in charge. With Joe Crozier gone to Vancouver to become general manager of the World Hockey Association Blazers, the Sabres were coachless during most of May. Floyd Smith was the man expected to take over after general manager Punch Imlach returned from his post-season vacation and before the amateur draft came up. Smitty is a longtime imlach protege. Punch got him in a trade soon after the Sabres came into being in 1970 and the former Toronto and Detroit winger handled practices when Imlach then coach as well as GM, was ailing during the 1971-72 campaign. When Punch suffered a…
