Big City Lights, Garden Setting Perfect For Godin
WASHINGTON— Christmas arrived early this year for the Washington Capitals, who not only managed to end a 20-game winless streak but who actually went 4-2-1 once the streak was over. Christmas time also brought a train ride. For many of the younger Capitals, the trip the hockey team took to New York City and back on the Metroliner was their first time on train tracks. Eddy Godin peered through the window of the Metroclub ear for almost two-and-a-half hours on the way to New York, fascinated by the passing scenery. By mid-afternoon he experienced another thrill—he had walked the streets of New York and had made a visit to Macy’s. “That store,” he said, “is the biggest I have ever seen. I did not think there was a store so big, anywhere.” Godin and teammate Robert…

Bruins Rely On Much-Varied Lineup For Strong Start On Road Journey
BOSTON— Boston Bruins, with the National Hockey League’s best home record, 14-22, took their act on the road this week, and the strange surroundings seemed to bother the club very little as they captured five of six points with two victories and a tie, including a 7-0 shellacking of the Detroit Red Wings in the Olympia. And the Bruins, functioning on all cylinders, are doing it with a lineup mixed with wise, old veterans and rookies, still supposed to be wet behind the ears. In leading off their six-game road trip, the Bruins parlayed a pair of goals from the usually non-offensive-minded defenseman Mike Milbury, into a 6-3 win over the Washington Capitals. Against the surprisingly tough Cleveland Barons, the Bruins overcame a 3-1 first period deficit with four second-period scores including a…
Jets Blanked By Soviets On Japanese Tour
WINNIPEG— If the Winnipeg Jets thought they could do any better against the Soviets than the Quebec Nordiques did in the Izvestia Tournament, they have another think coming. The Jets were blitzed 5-1 on New Year’s day by the Soviet Nationals before 9,000 fans in Tokyo, Japan, to make their exhibition record against the Soviets three losses in as many tries. Closer to home, a touring Soviet All Star squad assumed a one game lead over the World Hockey Association with one game to be played as the All Stars downed Houston 7-3 and doubled Indianapolis 4-2 after Birmingham Bulls had given the WHA the series lead with a convincing 6-1 triumph. The final game of the 10-match tour pitted the Nordiques against the Soviets in an attempt to even the series. Biggest news…
