Hockey Ad Lib
An Endangered Species… GILLES MELOCHE HAD been bombed. And beaten. And as the sat on a stool in the dressing room after a game this season, he applied an ice pack to an angry blue welt on his left arm where one of his own players had hit him with a shot in pre-game practice. But he played the game and he played superbly. He gave up goals, but only grudgingly. He lost 5-1. but he would have lost 10-i if he had not made some sensational saves.
