Devils Tired Of Being Pushovers
EAST RUTHERFORD—Unlike a year ago, the New Jersey Devils will not have to rely solely on breathtaking goaltending from Chico Resch and Ron Low to keep them afloat, along with saving the coach’sjob. Rookie coach Doug Carpenter seems to have an unusually “secure” one-year arrangement, and if his two veteran goalers haven’t lost their touch, the Devils’ days as patsies may be over. There is, not surprisingly, still some paranoia in the front office. Unfulfilled promises, nightmarish losing streaks and criticism from other organizations have a tendency to do that. “Hopefully, we’ll have a better start than last year (2-18),” said president Bob Butera, working closer with general manager Max McNab and the new coaching staff of Carpenter and Lou Vairo than last season. “1 think last year was a fluke. We…

Canucks Putting Faith In LaForge
VANCOUVER—The hopes and chief unknowns of the Vancouver Canucks this season revolve around new coach Bill LaForge. He is the main change made during the off-season and he comes in with a radical approach to developing a winning attitude, something the Canucks last enjoyed in 1982 during the days of Roger Neilson and the Great Towel Caper. LaForge, the youngest coach in the league at 32, is putting the team through a demanding training camp and so far the players seem to be giving him a fair trail. Some veterans such as Doug Halward and Stan Smyl have even come out and said they like the way he’s running things. For what LaForge may contribute in the motivational area, he may surrender in lack of knowledge of the opposition. In that area, he…
