Third Line Decisive In Hawk Sweep
CHICAGO—The Black Hawks terminated the longest losing streak in National Hockey League playoff history and Coach Eddie Johnston turned out to be a prophet. Before the opening round series with the St. Louis Blues began, Johnston predicted that it would be decided by the play of Chicago’s unsung No. 3 line, a troika consisting of rookie Doug Lecuyer at center, Ted Bulley on left wing, and Tim Higgins on right wing. Sure enough, Lecuyer, Bulley, and Higgins were in the limelight as the Hawks swept the best-of-five series in three games. They went into Game 1 with a 16-game playoff losing streak, stretching back to 1975 in Buffalo. And to get this giant ape off their backs they had to knock St. Louis goalie Mike Liut flat on his back. Lecuyer scored the winning…

Hawks Get Early Start On Spring; Victoria Dominates WHL All Stars
LOUISVILLE HOCKEY STICKS LOUISVILLE HOCKEY STICKS MEDICINE HAT—Over the course of the Western Hockey League’s 72-game regular season, the Portland Winter Hawks and Regina Pats established themselves as the best clubs in the Western and Eastern divisions, respectively. Both clubs learned in a hurry that what you did yesterday is not important. It’s what you accomplish today that counts. And, suddenly, the Winter Hawks are on the outside looking in, while the Pats are hanging on for dear life. The demise of the Winter Hawks came about in the three-team Western division double home-and-home 12-game round robin semifinal series. If you understand what that means, read on.
