Canada Enters World Play With ‘Perfect’ Record
Special To The Hockey News PRAGUE— With three victories and a tie in four exhibition tests, Team Canada coach Harry Howell looked optimistically but cautiously ahead to the start of the 1978 World Tournament. Howell, who felt the Canadians were lucky to pull out a 3-3 tie with Czechoslovakia’s ‘B’ team because they didn’t play well enough to win, nevertheless, had to be enthused by the performance of his National Hockey League team. They had shown considerable maturity in taking two games from Sweden and defeating the Czechs’ crack ‘A’ squad, who are the defending world cup champions. With an unblemished 3-0-1 record heading into the eight-country world hockey confrontation, the Canadians appeared to be in a better position to restore their lost hockey prestige suffered in 1977 at Vienna by an over zealous and…

Boldirev Raps Fans, Media For Spoiling Year
CHICAGO— When the game is on, Ivan Boldirev is oblivious to the outside world, unconcerned whether he is playing before good fans, bad fans, electric fans, or any fans at all. But that doesn’t mean that, after a whistle, or during intermissions, he can’t glance up into the Chicago Stadium stands and wonder where everybody went and whether the Black Hawks are a hockey team or a guest on “I’ve Got A Secret.” “We’ve had a good season, but we don’t seem to get the recognition, certainly not as much as we deserve,” the team’s leading scorer said. “We’re the only first place team in Chicago, and we’re a lot more entertaining than last year. “Yet, our crowds still only average about 11,000. I don’t understand it. You look at Detroit with a smaller…
