Merrick Pays Seals Instant Dividends

OAKLAND— The controversy and second-guessing had yet to die down when the St. Louis Blues made their first trip to the West Coast since centers Larry Patey and Wayne Merrick had changed uniforms. The trade, which both the Seals and Blues believed would aid their respective causes, went the way of the California club, at least for the time being. The Seals soundly set the Blues back on their heels to the tune of 52 and to add insult to injury the recently acquired Merrick scored what proved to be the winning goal.

Lynn Patrick, 63-year-old senior vice-president of the Blues, is obviously the stop-gap coach of the NHL team. Patrick said he would handle the team until the end of the current season only. Patrick succeeds Gary Young as coach of the Blues after Young was fired when the club went into a 10-game tailspin. Young said he wasn’t mad at anybody and noted that if a team does not win it’s the coach’s fault and you have to accept that when you take the job. Patrick was coach briefly last season when Lou Angotti was replaced for the same reason Young was dumped—they couldn’t…
