Low Ranked Vancouver, Chicago Hit High Note To Reach Finals
The Campbell Conference final will be a showdown between the 11th and the 15th place finishers with the Vancouver Canucks, who ended in the 11th spot, opposing the Chicago Black Hawks. The Black Hawks hurdled the St. Louis Blues on their way to the conference final as they bested the Blues in the best-of-seven series, 4-2 in games. The Canucks had little trouble eliminating the Los Angeles Kings, who had become the giant killers of the 1982 playoffs by upsetting the Edmonton Oilers. The Kings had little left for the Canucks, who won out in five games. Following are the capsule reports of the Campbell Conference playoffs. LOS ANGELES VANCOUVER 1 Game Four: Center Ivan Boldirev scored two goals, including the gamewinner, and added one assist as the Canucks edged Los Angeles 5-4 before…
Critical Errors Send Kings Winging To Hawaii
H&B Louisville Hockey H&B Louisville Hockey LOS ANGELES—The Kings were headed off to Hawaii at presstime, their plans to travel on in the Stanley Cup playoffs abruptly cancelled by the Vancouver Canucks. Before the season began, owner Jerry Buss had promised his team a repeat of the vacation they took last spring, but stipulated that the Kings had to win the division playoffs. Thus inspired, the Kings went out and nearly missed the playoffs altogether, their 17th-place finish overall making them the least qualified of the playoff teams. Then the Canucks prevented them from upholding their end of the bargain, winning the Smythe Division final in five games, but Buss is sending them anyway, as a reward for their stunning upset of the Edmonton Oilers in the first round. The Kings might have been better…

WHL’s Action Just As Hectic Off Ice As On
H&B Louisville Hockey H&B Louisville Hockey CALGARY—The month of April was rather hectic as far as the Western Hockey League is concerned. To whit: 1) The Seattle Breakers opened the best-of-seven Western Division final against Portland, by falling behind 5-0 just 12 minutes into the first period. But, the Breakers then roared back with seven unanswered goals and won 7-5; 2) The Regina Pats eliminated the Calgary Wranglers from their Eastern Division semifinal series, winning the best-of-five affair in four games. But, following a third-game donnybrook, both coaches—Bill LaForge of Regina and Calgary’s Doug Sauter—were ordered by the WHL to cough up $4,000 performance bonds; 3) LaForge then found himself in more trouble, following the Pats’ 6-3 win over the Broncos in Lethbridge in the first game of the east’s best-of-seven final. A first-period incident in…
