Nordiques Start New Injury Cycle
QUEBEC CITY—”In 1983-84, I know we will improve on a number of things. I want to improve our defense first of all. I want to improve communications between players and management. I want us to be more aggressive and I want a team with character. “ That, plain and simple, was the message which Nordiques’ coach Michel Bergeron delivered recently. Of course, at the time Bergeron delivered his state of the address about improvements, he had no idea that the single most important area the Nords would have to improve on is lessening of injuries. Injuries, the factor that singlehandely crippled the Nords’ 1982-83 season, has returned with a distateful passion and if the Nords aren’t unlucky then they must not be taking their vitamins. J. F. Sauve, Dave Pichette and Yves Heroux…
Stevens Relaxed In Sophomore Season
LANDOVER—A year ago, Scott Stevens was a nervous rookie tentatively tabbed for the No. 6 defense spot on the Washington Capitals. By the close of the training camp, Stevens became one of the Capitals’ top three defensemen and at the end of the season he was selected to the National Hockey League’s first-ever all-rookie team. He represented Canada in the World Championships in West Germany and acquitted himself well. Only 19, Stevens must be considerted one of the NHL’s stars of the future, as well as a prime reason why the Capitals expect to make another jump forward this season, following their 29-point leap to respectability a year ago. “Scott Stevens is bigger and stronger and better this year and there are no signs of complacency,” said Caps’ general manager David Poile. “There…
Canadiens’ Defense Corps Dwindling Daily
MONTREAL—Since the trade of Rod Langway and Brian Engblom, the montreal Canadiens have had a deficiency on defense. But this is getting a little bit ridiculous. Suddenly, coach Bob Berry finds himself short of warm bodies on the blueline. Within the span of a week, the montreal Canadiens’ coach lost the services of Larry Robinson, Rick Green, Ric Nattress and Bill Root. Robinson missed the last five preseasons games with an infection which caused swelling in his right knee. The knee puffed up the night before the Canadiens were to battle the Quebec Nordiques in the seventh pre-season game for Montreal. The former Norris Trophy winner and all-star was admitted to montreal General Hospital where he was treated with antibiotics. Green was injured in the first Canadiens-Nordiques confrontation in Quebec. Originally, X-rays showed no…
