…As The Canadiens Lav On The Muscle
MONTREAL—The battle of Quebec. The war of the words. The April crisis. It will be recorded by the National Hockey League as the 1984 Adams Division final, yet this best-of-seven series between the Canadiens and Quebec Nordiques is becoming much more than that. For two weeks, every hockey fan, be he casual or fanatic, is on red alert as two teams who do not like each other very much battle for the hockey bragging rights to Canada’s French language province. It’s another in the continuing series of the battle between two of Canada’s major breweries, Molson, which owns the Canadiens, and Carling O’Keefe, the owner of the Nordiques.

Although the Black Hawks took Minnesota to the five-game limit before losing 4-1 in the final game, unquestionably the North Stars deserved to win. Thus, no restitution has been made for the Hawks’ plunge from fourth to 16th in the overall standings in a single season. What happened? Injuries and suspensions were the paramount factor in the fall. • Left winger Al Secord, a 54-goal scorer and the team’s most assertive player, missed almost five months of the season because of tom abdominal muscles. • Major injuries forced five other key players—left wingers Curt Fraser and Darryl Sutter, center Troy Murray and defenseman Doug Wilson and Behn Wilson—to miss a total…
