Watt Reasons Jets’ Success Should Continue
WINNIPEG—Tom Watt’s pet peeve last season was hearing reporter^ ask the same question over and over again whenever the Jets won a game. “Say, Tom,” they would ask, leaning forward with their microphones, “what’s the biggest difference in the Jets this season compared to last?” He could have singled out himself or Serge Savard or Dale Hawerchuk or the trade with St. Louis that brought Eddie Staniowski and Paul MacLean to Winnipeg. A pained expression would cross Watt’s face. Adamantly, he begged off, refusing to heap credit on anyone because he knew he would be knocking the people who preceded him. “I wasn’t here,” he would gasp. “Ask someone who was.

But to one man, namely Allan Fothering-ham, a columnist for Southam News, the Kings’ victory was far more significant—and insidious—than that. His views, which originally appeared in his column in the April 26, 1982 edition of Canada’s Maclean’s magazine, follow below: I spent a pleasant Easter watching the death of hockey. It was an educational, two-stage exercise, illustrating the thoroughness with which the task is accomplished. Not a detail is missed, not a nuance skipped. Those responsible for the murder have, over the years, been more proficient. The introductory portion of the process…
