BOSTON— Once upon a time, writers covering the Bruins, this one included. sometimes would be almost late for the team bus making a getaway for the airport after a game. The reason was simple, the Bruins would score so many goals in a game and so would the other team-that it took a long st onto describe the game. Esposito. Hodge. Cashman. Bucyk Stanfield. McKenzie.

The Mavs had been trying since Oct. 28 to post their second victory in the Central HockeyLeague.
