THE MOLSON CUP THREE-STAR STANDINGS
Leaders Hold Own In Voting TORONTO—Outside of Guy Carbon-neau surging back into sole possession of first place in the Montreal segment of the Molson Cup voting, things are unchanged at the top. Five of the six Canadian cities participating in the Cup voting continue to have the same players holding down first place by way of their dominating the three-star voting. Rick Vaive in Toronto, Rejean Lemelin in Calgary, Edmonton’s incomparable Wayne Gretzky, Laurie Boschman in Winnipeg and Vancouver’s Tony Tanti continue to cling to their respective Cup leads. Carbonneau, who shared first place with Guy Lafleur in the last voting tabulation, has pulled away from the Canadiens’ veteran right winger with his scoring heroics that have won Montreal several close games this season. Here’s a city-by-city breakdown of the Molson Cup voting: MONTREAL—Carbonneau is on…
Jensen Can’t Carry The Wales’ Weight
LANDOVER—Of all the trades former Capital general manager Max McNab made in nearly six years in Washington, the best has turned out to be the one that made the least sense at the time. When McNab dealt right winger Mark Lofthouse to Detroit in July, 1981 for goaltender Al Jensen, the Capitals already had seven goalies under contract. “You never have enough goaltending,” McNab said by way of explanation. Now, two and a half years later, Jensen has been chosen as the starting AllStar goalie for the Prince of Wales Conference, though oddly enough a back injury he incurred after lifting weights on a day off will force him to miss it. It was a richly deserved honor, since Jensen was leading the National Hockey League in games played (40), victories (23) and shutouts…

Muddy’s Clearly The Jets’ Best
WINNIPEG—Obscurely he toils, giving his utmost, dutifully doing his job. Silently, Tim Watters has become a mainstay on the defense of the Winnipeg Jets. Contrary to popular belief around the National Hockey League, the Jets do have a defense and Watters has been the best of the bunch through the first 50 games. “He’s our most underrated player,” said his coach, Barry long, a former defenseman who probably appreciates Watters more than anyone else. “I’ll tell you the type of guy he is. Before every game, he checks the lineup to see if his name is there. He doesn’t take a thing for granted.” The Jets have been stirring lately. They were unbeaten in nine (5-0-4) home games and, as this issue went to press, they had gone five games without a loss (4-0-1). The spree…
