Palmateer, Ihnacak Give Leafs Time To Jell
TORONTO—Time, that’s all they need. Time for the players to know each other; time for the rookies to get accustomed to the National Hockey League pace; time to utilize the team’s talent and willingness to work towards becoming a contender. If there is anything that an 80-game schedule does for teams in the NHL it’s that it gives them time. That, plus the fact that more than three-quarters of the league’s clubs qualify for the playoffs means that teams can recover from a slow start, can overcome early obstacles and turn a mediocre season into a good one if they are willing to grind out the efforts often enough over the course of the campaign. The 1982-83 Leafs started out winless in their first six games. But in their next five games…
Ruskowski Odd-Man Out In The Hawk Picture
CHICAGO—“It’s the most difficult thing I’ve done as general manager of the Black Hawks,” said Bob Pulford. Pulford, who has been the Hawks’ GM since the summer of 1977, was talking about the trade that sent team captain Terry Ruskowski to Los Angeles. In return, the Hawks received “future considerations”—which undoubtedly means a draft choice—and Larry Goodenough, a defenseman for their American League farm club in Springfield, Mass. “What made it so difficult is because I like Ruskowski so much,” said Pulford. “He’s a great competitor. He comes to play and he’s a class person. “In the long run, though, it’s the best thing for him. I told him he’s too fine a person to stay here and not play because that would be too tough on him.” Ruskowski was informed of the trade after…

Oilers Attribute Slow Start To Lack Of Emotion
EDMONTON—There was a sour-gas well blowout at nearby Lodgepole, Alta., deep in the heart of oil country just southwest of here recently. What spewed out of the earth, depending upon which direction the wind was blowing, was a foul-smelling odor that blanketed the Not So Great White North, causing people to turn up their noses in gagging disgust. The blowout, however, had nothing on the suffocating man-made stench at the Northlands Coliseum Oct. 21. Edmonton Oilers gassed a musty 5-3 National Hockey League verdict to Boston Bruins that left the customary 17,498 who congregate at the 118th Ave. edifice scampering for the exits to inhale the—by comparison—refreshing rotten-egg smell out of doors. Five-to-three, you say? The score indicates, it couldn’t have been that bad. Well, you had to be there to believe it. The second…
