FAN FARUM
Trade for Park Won’thelp Bruins The panic was on in Boston early this season because of poor performance by the Bruins, and falling attendance figures. To solve the situation, the Bruins bench Ken Hodge, who has had a few 40-plus goal seasons, and in ‘73-74 scored 50. Next they trade Phil Esposito, probably the greatest goal scorer in NHL history for the most overrated, overpaid player in hockey, Brad Park. If you don’t believe me, look at his plus-minus figures and decide for yourself. When Espo came to Boston, the Bruins were consistent last place finishers. Since his arrival they have made the playoffs eight years in a row, won 50 games four years in a row, finished first three times, and won two Stanley Cups. Well guys, best of luck for many winning seasons,…

MEET THE ROOKIES
After a year of seasoning with the Black Hawks’ Central League farm club in Dallas Bob Murray has moved up to join the blueline corps of the big club. Murray was Chicago’s third choice (52nd overall) in the 1974 amateur draft coming from the Cornwall juniors. In 75 games with Dallas last season he scored 14 goals and added 43 assists for 57 points. Murray likes to carry the puck out of his own end and although he’s not the hitting type of defenseman he can mix things up if he has to as his 130 penalty minutes with Dallas in 1974-75 attest. The 5’ 10”, 183 pound rearguard is a native of Kingston, Ont.…
Beavers Go On Scoring Rampage; Much Improved Rem parts Moving Up
SHERBROOKE— If an award were to be given at the conslusion of this Quebec Major Junior Hockey League season for the most newsworthy team, the Sherbrooke Beavers would capture the honor hands-down. The Beavers have been continually making headlines in La Belle Province, some of which have been desireable and some which the club could very easily have done without. The occurrence that made the biggest noise was the regrettable accident to Shawinigan’s Benoit Plouffein a game at Sherbrooke which has left the young Dynamo star paralyzed below the waist. We may have heard the last of that incident as the Beavers appealed to the QMJHL executive to have the fines and suspensions handed out as a result of the mishap reduced. The $25,000 fine levied against the Beavers when they forfeited a contest in…
