Unspectacular Oddleifson Gets Job Done For Canucks
VANCOUVER— Through the first two months of the National Hockey League season the Vancouver Canucks have suffered slightly more downs than ups. They’ve had one seven-game unbeaten streak, but twice have gone four consecutive games without a win. Their goal-tending has ranged from hot to cold to lukewarm while a steady string of injuries has kept the roster in a constant state of change. But if there has been one consistent factor to their game, it has been the steady play of Chris Oddleifson. The tall, lean center is far from the most spectacular in the game.

KANSAS CITY— The First Annual Simon Nolet belated birthday party on wheels rolled to a stop in Kansas City at 3:30 on Thanksgiving morning, long after some of the celebrants had fallen asleep. Paving the way for the festivities. which got under way when the Kansas City Scouts’ chartered bus left the St. Louis Arena four hours earlier, was the first major snowstorm of the season in the Midwest. Making the party all the merrier was the way the Scouts scrapped to gain a 3-3 tie with the Blues the night before. “This team played a heck of a hockey game.” said Bep Guidolin, the Scouts’ coach. “And they did it when they were short handed.” Jean-Guy Lagace. the club’s top defenseman. missed everything—the game and the party.
