Scouts’ Sparkling Exhibition Play Surprises Everybody But Guidolin
KANSAS CITY — If smiles were strong enough to stop pucks, Michel Plasse would have had a shutout. He sat in the tiny locker room in Brantford. Ont., the first winning goalie in Kansas City Scouts’ history, wondering how he would find the strength to dress himself but saying he was ready to go again. “I was starting to get tired,” he said. “When we got the fifth goal I was very happy.” That fifth goal, an empty-net job by Lynn Powis, had clinched the baby Scouts’ first victory only 10 days after they first appeared on the bearskin rug. They went on to beat Pittsburgh. 6-2, then went on to a total of six hours in bus rides and a 90 minute flight to Austin, Minn., the next night to play…

So, it was only fitting that the first convention of league fan club members should take place in Binghamton. With fan club members paying their own expenses, close to 50 members attended the weekend meetings. The meetings were not a one shot deal, however, as plans call for each fan club to elect one delegate and one alternate who will attend meetings held during the year, at central locations. The highlight of the Sept. 27-29 convention was a city parade sponsored by the Dusters’ Club. All…
Clippers Get Helping Hand From KC Scouts
BALTIMORE— Seven top-flight skaters including four defensemen and three forwards joined coach Jim Morrison’s 1974-75 Baltimore Clippers squad today on loan from the Kansas City Scouts, one of the NHL’s two new franchises and with whom the American League Clippers have a working agreement for the upcoming campaign. General manager Terry Reardon revealed that the Scouts have dispatched defensemen Dennis Patterson, Kerry Ketter, Ken Murray and their second amateur draft choice Roger Lemelin along with forwards Gary Coalter, Reggie Bechtold and Morris Stefaniw to the Clippers for the new season. The addition of these seven players promises to put the Clippers in good position to successfully defend the AHL’s Southern Division title which they captured last winter. Six of the seven KC players whom GM Sid Abel and coach Bep Guidolin have sent…
Confident Flyers Show No Signs Of Stanley Cup-ltis In Early Play
PHILADELPHIA— As the NHL season opener approached, those searching for clues that the Flyers were still floating three feet above the ice after their Stanley Cup upset were disappointed. It wasn’t until their sixth preseason game that the Flyers suffered a letdown. Until they faced the New York Rangers, their bitter Stanley Cup semi-final rivals, the Flyers were 4-0-1. However, after two games in Vancouver and their first on-the-ice encounter with the WHA — a 4-2 victory ever New England in Quebec City the night before — the weary Flyers returned to the Spectrum and bowed 5-1 to the Rangers. Despite the loss, coach Fred Shero found a ray of hope. Shero could find a ray of hope in a hurricane. Funny thing is, a hurricane is just what New York goalie Curt…
