Shuffle To The Pens’ Beat
PITTSBURGH—The beat goes on. The Penguins continued their revolving door of player moves, recalling right winger Peter Lee from Baltimore of the American Hockey League, obtaining left winger Stan Jonathan from Boston and buying out the contract of veteran forward Rick MacLeish. The 26-year-old Lee had been vanquished to the minor leagues after being passed over by the other 20 National Hockey League teams in October’s waiver draft. Lee was the Skipjack’s leading scorer with 11 goals and six assists in 14 games and was chosen AHL Player of the Week after tallying five goals arid two assists before being recalled. “When I did get sent down I knew it was a tough point in my career,” said Lee, who scored a goal and played an excellent all-around game upon his return to…

Tradition-Rich Habs Seeking A Return To The Glory Years
Early in the 1967-68 season, the first year of expansion, the Canadiens visited the Oakland Coliseum for the first time ever—and lost 1-0 to the California Golden Seals. It was a superbly-played game—the Golden Seals way beyond their limited selves—but the Candiens’ coach Toe Blake was livid about the loss. And when the flight from Oakland to Los Angeles after the game turned out to be the most turbulent the Canadiens had ever experienced, all Toe would say was: “The way we played tonight, the plane should’ve crashed. This do-or-die dedication to the game is what has made the Canadiens one of the most hallowed names in all of sport. Only the New York Yankees in baseball have won more professional championships on this continent. In hockey, no other club comes close to…
