Minnesota’s Road Play Decisive; Toros On Ropes With San Diego
ST. PAUL— Give the Minnesota Fighting Saints the open road. They play better away from home. At least that’s the impression they left with World Hockey Association playoff fans as they cleaned up the New England Whalers by winning on Hartford ice. The Saints ousted the faltering Whalers 4-2 in their best-of-seven quarterfinal series and they achieved it by taking two big games in the Whalers’ New England hideaway where the East Division champions were nearly invincible over the regular season. The Saints won the series opener 6-5 and the fifth game 4-0 in Hartford to return home where they wrapped up the series in the fifth game 6-1. The Saints now move against the Quebec Nordiques in the best-of-seven WHA semi-finals with the first two games on Quebec ice. Nordiques advanced along with…
Quick Playoff Exit Deflated Blues
ST. LOU1S— The St. Louis Blues are somewhat embarrassed. They are the most successful of all the expansion teams in the Stanley Cup playoffs over the last eight years; yet they were wiped out so fast this season they appeared not to know what playoff hockey is all about. Twelve teams entered the playoffs this year, and the Blues were the first to be eliminated.

The Blues had progressed steadily this season and the last two months…
Scouts Rate Nolet Highly, Picked As Masterton Nominee
KANSAS CITY— The Kansas City Scouts didn’t win too many honors in their first National Hockey League season but they have a bona fide candidate for one of the NHL’s post-season awards and he stands an excellent chance of winning. Top scoring Scouts’ forward Simon Nolet is the club’s nominee for the Masterton Trophy which is given to the NHL’s ‘unsung hero’ and certainly Nolet fits the mold. The Scouts finished the 1974-75 campaign with a respectable 15 victories and 11 ties in 80 games and the hard working Nolet ended as their No. I scorer with 58 points. No one knows more than coach Bep Guidolin how valuable Nolet was to the Scouts. The sight of Nolet out of the lineup made Bep shudder. “I didn’t think especially on a team like this,…
