Hawks' Conditioning Pays Dividends; Eagles, Blazers Establish Goal Mark
DALLAS- Conditioning is certainly important to any athlete and Dallas coach Roger Neilson is a firm believer in this policy which he has maintained throughout the entire season but unfortunately for the rookie coach, the Black Hawks have not been winning. However, things have changed in Dallas and very quickly the Hawks look like the team that has made the playoffs in all but one of their ten years in the Central Hockey League. With the return of Duane Wylie and Dave Logan from Chicago following brief appearances with the major league club, the Hawks captured three of four games to move within striking distance of that coveted playoff berth.

Moment Of Madness GARY SIMMONS IS NOT the greatest goaltender in the game, but one game early this season he was as great as a goalie can be.
