Cougars Shut Down Tigers’ Big Line But Bruins Steamroll Toward Final
MEDICINE HAT— The thinking around the Western Canada Hockey League during the regular season was simple: to stop the Medicine Hat Tigers, you stop the big line of Don Murdoch, Greg Carroll and Morris Lukowich Unfortunately for many of the Tigers’ foes, that task was easier said than done. The spectacular offensive thrusts the big line put forth during the 72-game schedule provided Tigers with the fourthbest record in the 12-team league, was responsible for an amazing 213 goals and 474 points, and earned first-team all-star berths for Murdoch and Lukowich.

Ratelle’s ever-present playmaking and scoring ability are the definite keys to the injury-riddled Bruins skyrocketing to the Adams Division championship and Stanley Cup contention. Ratelle not only terminated the season with 105 points (seventh in the league) and light-years ahead of Esposito, but his uncanny ability to center a line with any two wingers, and proceed…
