THE WESTERN WORD
It Occurred To Me… AS THE NATIONAL Hockey League dust begins to settle, it occurred to me that… • The Pittsburgh Penguins’ record does not do the team justice. The Penguins have played well, but not so strangely seem unable to win. The fact that the Pens have been very competitive on the road is a sign the team is headed in the right direction, even if the right direction may be a move outside Pittsburgh. New coach Lou Angotti deserves some of the credit. And while on the subject, how long will it be before Bill Hunter says he’s trying to purchase the Pens? • Doug Keans is living proof that life behind the Boston Bruin defense can be fun. Keans, never more than a mediocre goaltender in his part-time days with…

BLUELINES
Red Wing general manager Jim Devellano is furious with Toronto attorney Paul Laurent, who represents deposed Jet coach Tom Watt. Jimmy D says the agent is guilty of egregiously poor timing, if not bad taste. “We had lost seven in a row,” Devellano tells BLUELINES, “and I get a call from this guy letting me know that Tom Watt is available as a coach. As if I didn’t know that Tom Watt, Bobby Kromm. Pat Quinn and Freddie Shero. among others, aren’t available.” BLUELINES attempted to reach Laurent for comment but he was away on vacation. He’ll have his side when he returns. Devellano isn’t the only GM unhappy with the timing and taste of some agents…Sabres’ GM-coach Scotty Bowman says he’s feeling less pressure than ever before in the…
Oiler Ace Widening Cup Lead
EDMONTON—Wayne Gretzky has done it all this season for the Oilers and his brilliant exploits are carrying him even farther ahead in the Molson Cup standings. Gretzky led all players on the six Canadian-based National Hockey League cities in the Molson Cup three-star selections with 85 points, 25 better than Winnipeg’s Laurie Boschman, who is currently sidelined with a shoulder injury. Gretzky opened a 30-point lead over linemate Jari Kurri in the Edmonton segment of the voting and it seems there’s no end to his popularity with the Cup selectors. The Edmonton center was one of six leaders in the start of the second segment of the three-star balloting who led after the first segement and still held on to first place. Here’s a city-by-city breakdown of the voting: MONTREAL—Guy Carbonneau, who pocketed $1,000 as…
