Salt Lake’s Eagles On Record-Setting Course
LOUISVILLE HOCKEY STICKS LOUISVILLE HOCKEY STICKS Ken Richardson got the only goal the Eagles really needed in the rout of Birmingham. He scored shorthanded early in the first period, his first goal of the season. Kevin Willison also scored in the first, Oglivie and Mullen in the second, then Ogilvie again between two by Thomson in the third.

That gave Thomson five goals in three games, after he had scored only three in the previous 21 starts. After Oklahoma City jumped to a 3-0 lead, the Eagles had a second-period goal by Crawford disallowed. Seconds earlier on…

Although they won’t say so in so many words, the Bruins players appear to feel that way, too. “Don Cherry was tremendous for…
HOCKEY TALK
Complaint Department Open THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT is now open. Several important people in hockey are angry at me, so speak now or forever hold your peace. Name and occupation, please: “Art Kaminsky, New York representative for athletes.” How many? “Somewhere between several and numerous.” Why were you so happy at the recent XIII Winter Olympics? “Well, I handle Herb Brooks, coach of the victorious United States Olympic Hockey team, several (numerous?) of its players, plus speed skater Eric Heiden, who captured five gold medals.” Then how could you be complaining? “Because I don’t understand why you always take Al Eagle-son’s side whenever anything is mentioned concerning the National Hockey League Players’ Association. I don’t understand your attraction to him and his record. He has done nothing, he has not done the job. “The NHLPA is a…
