Caps Show Muscle, Determined Effort In Bruins’ Arena
WASHINGTON— As Washington general manager Max McNab left the Boston Garden recently, a Boston Bruins’ fan approached and said, “I’ve been coming here for 20 years and this is the first time I’ve ever seen the Bruins lose every fight they were in.” McNab smiled. Although the Caps were 4-1 losers to the Bruins, they gave most of the Boston players a night to remember as Bob Picard got the best of Terry O’Reilly, Gordie Lane took John Wensink and both Bill Riley and Bryan Watson roughed up Mike Milbury. “I’m pretty proud of the way our guys stood up to the Bruins,” said coach Tom McVie. Apparently, Bruins’ coach Don Cherry knew his troops came out of the game with some bruised egos. Cherry ignored the fights and took shots at the Caps’ shot total…

The WIHL Scene
KIMBERLEY— The Kimberley Dynamiters, still entertaining dreams of a Western International League championship for the second straight season, made trouble for the front-runners as the schedule reached mid-January. First the Dynamiters knocked off first-place Spokane for the third time in the last four meetings. Meanwhile Cranbrook was closing ground on the faltering Flyers. Then, while Spokane was playing its first tie of the season in a 7-7 duel with Trail, Kimberley ended charging Cranbrook’s win streak at five games. That allowed Spokane three-point breathing space. True to the promises of coach Ted McAneeley and Tom Hodges, the club’s general manager, the Spokane Flyers did not stand pat after dropping three of four. They added two players, released one, and looked around for more talent. Back on the Spokane roster is center Bob Trembeckey, a perennial…
Larouche’s Only Goal To Help Habs Keep Cup
MONTREAL— Pierre Larouche’s 22nd birthday present arrived almost two weeks late. But when it came he was smiling and he hasn’t stopped since. Just 13 days after reaching his 22nd birthday, Larouche had his fondest wish come true. He was traded to the Montreal Canadiens and the Amos, Que., native didn’t try to hide his enthusiasm for the change in address. Now he’s been with the Canadiens nearly two months and he’s still finding out just how great a team the Canadiens really are. And Larouche is also finding out how nice a lengthy undefeated streak can be as he’s been in uniform for only one loss since he donned the red, white and blue livery of the Habs on Nov. 29. His first road game with the Canadiens was a loss to the…
