The Hockey News has been providing the most comprehensive coverage of the world of hockey since 1947. In each issue, you'll find news, features and opinions about the NHL and leagues across North America and the world.
NEXT WEEK IN THN
In next week’s issue, we’ll profile the Hartford Whalers and their trek to respectability in the always-tough Adams Division. It used to be that the Whalers were considered an easy two points, but no more. With a nucleus including Greg Millen, Mark Johnson, Ronnie Francis and Sylvain Turgeon and a rapidly-improving supporting cast, they are a team to be taken seriously. And we’ll also have the Year in Review, a retrospective on 1984 as it draws to a close. Check out the highs, lows and everything in between as we reflect on the year that was. Plus, we’ll have all our regular columns, features and statistics. Don’t miss it.…

Nordiques Break Long Overtime Drought
QUEBEC CITY—It took almost a season and a half, but the Quebec Nordiques finally beat the overtime jinx. Quebec was 0-5-10 in 15 overtime games last season, and things kept going the same way this year with a loss and a draw in two overtime performances. All that changed when the Nordiques pulled off not only one, but two overtime victories in less than a week. Ironically, both came in doubleheaders with Chicago and the New York Rangers. After beating the Hawks 5-3 on Nov. 18, the Nords won the rematch 3-2 in overtime two days later. Against the Rangers, the Nords won the first game 8-3 on Nov. 24 and took the second game the next night 3-2 in OT. Michel Goulet, who scored the overtime winner against the Hawks, spoke for…
Bruin Opposites Attract Definite Cup Possibilities
THE SUTTERS AND the Stastnys…Tiger Williams and Kent Nilsson…Ken Linseman and Charlie Simmer. We’re talking about opposite on-ice personalities here, folks. Ken Linseman—a pest, a guy who receives an A-plus in irritation and starting brawls; Charlie Simmer—a guy who never bothers anyone, except rival goaltenders. Linseman and Simmer are teammates for the first time, wearing the Boston Bruin black and gold. That both are off to good starts with one of the National Hockey League’s most prestigious teams is one of the nicer stories of the new season. Both are two of the most appealing players in hockey. For one thing, they haven’t just started shaving, like most of the league’s players. Linseman, 26. and Simmer, 30, have a few miles and bruises on them from visiting NHL arenas from Quebec to Vancouver.…
