Bruins Badgered By Krushelnyski Boppers
BOSTON—Mike Krushelnyski may be 2,500 air miles away in Edmonton but his memory does more than just linger on with Boston fans—particularly those of the female persuasion between the ages of 13 and 17. All summer long, the Sunday Herald has been receiving angry letters from teeny boppers castigating general manager Harry Sinden for trading their “hunk” (as he is called unabashedly) to the Oilers for Ken Linseman. The subject of the Krushelnyski phenonemon came up at the Bruins’ annual end-of-summer luncheon, which is generally designed to introduce the newcomers on the team to the media and vice versa. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Sinden. “This is the first time ever people have been mad at me for trading a guy because he was cute. There was a little of it…
MICRON
Since its founding in 1977, Micron has been an industry leader in the use of modern materials and manufacturing techniques. From first generation skates molded of polyurethane and hinged together in two pieces, the Micron skate has been evolved and developed continuously. Newer, more sophisticated materials have been developed that give outstanding flexibility and “feel.” Designs have been refined and sculpted to create sleeker, more aerodynamic shapes and manufacturing techniques have been brought to a level of sophistication unmatched in the skate industry. The most current designs being offered include a totally new concept called the “Medalic” Series. These HiTech skates have designed to use the best possible materials for each area of the foot and to yield the maximum performance. The lower sections are molded in a one-piece “unibody” technique to give…
Flint Wants To Add To Turner Cup Success
FLINT—”It’s a first for us,” says Bob Sack, public relations director for the Flint Generals, referring to the team’s initial attempt at trying to defend the Turn over Cup which it won last spring. “And we’re happy to be in this position.” The Generals’ primary concern will be to perform well in the International League’s East Division, which will include the Kalamazoo Wings, Muskegon Lumberjacks and Toledo Goaldiggers. Flint Coach Dennis Desrosiers has come up with another “first,” hiring a full-time assistant coach. Dave Westner, a teammate of Desrosiers at Saginaw on the 1977 Cup-winning team, will be behind the bench with him this year. Sack revealed the Generals already have signed three players from last year’s championship team. They are Jeff Pyle, Peter Horachek and Pierre Thibault. Pyle • ied for the Flint…
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
John Bucyk wears a large medallion that hangs around his neck. It is something he considers very special. “That medallion means a lot to me,” said Bucyk, who played 23 seasons in the National Hockey League (1955-1978), the last 21 with the Boston Bruins. “I received it after I scored my 500th goal. Wayne Cashman, Don Marcotte, Hank Nowak and Dave Forbes, all of whom were left wingers like myself with the Bruins that year (1975-76), got together and bought this for me. “It’s not something that the League or club gave me. It was four individuals who thought what I did was something special. You have to remember that the five of us were fighting for three positions. “This medallion showed me that they had a lot of respect for me. I was…
