Capitals Suddenly Have Goaltending Glut
LANDOVER-AU season long, the one tactical decision over which Washington coach Bryan Murray has lost no sleep at all has been the identity of his starting goal tender. For the first half of the season, Al Jensen started virtually every game—17 straight at one point—because he was hot and backup Pat Riggin was ineffective in his few opportunities in the net. Then, for 17 games in a row, it was Riggin who got the nod, because an inflammation around a nerve in the back kept Jensen out of the lineup. Fortunately for Murray and the Capitals, Riggin demonstrated that the first half was not a true indication of his ability. When the Olympic Games ended, Bob Mason came back from Yugoslavia, signed a contract with the Capitals and was given an opportunity to…
League-Leading Oilers Receive Good Break
Louisville Hockey H&B 100 YEARS KAMLOOPS—A bad break for Ken Daneyko could turn out to be just the break the Kamloops Oilers were looking for. Although running away with the race for supremacy in the Western Division of the Western Hockey League, the Oilers were bolstered for their playoff run on Feb. 10 when New Jersey Devils announced Daneyko was being assigned to Kamloops for the remainder of the WHL season. The 19-year-old defenseman, a 1982 first-round choice of the Devils, split a bone in his right ankle on Nov. 2 against the Hartford Whalers. Three months later, the Edmonton native finished rehabilitation and was termed fit to resume guarding someone’s blueline. It didn’t take long for Daneyko, obtained by the Oilers in a pre-season trade with the Seattle Breakers, to fit in with Kamloops. Once…
Courtnail Can Handle Pressure
TORONTO—No one promised Russ Courtnail a rose garden—just an opportunity to play. In his first four games with the Maple Leafs, who called him up from the Victoria Cougars of the Western Hockey League, Courtnall had four assists. He jockeyed between the wing and his familiar center position, showed some nifty moves and a willigness to dish out some checks. In all, he played well and showed why the Leafs drafted him seventh overall in last June’s National Hockey League entry draft and why he’ll probably be a household name around here for years to come. In the brief time he’s been a Leaf, the 19-year-old Courtnall has seen a microcosm of the team’s season. In his first game, Courtnall, a native of Duncan, B.C., joined the Leafs in Vancouver where they…
