Francis Saying Little About Trade
HARTFORD WHALERS HARTFORD—David A. Jensen was a first-round draft pick whom the Hartford Whalers predicted would score 35 goals in his rookie year. But if David A. Jensen does indeed score those 35 goals, it won’t be in a Hartford Whaler uniform. The Whalers traded Jensen to the Washington Capitals for center Dean Evason and goaltender Peter Sidorkiewicz just before the National Hockey League trading deadline March 12. All three players involved in the deal are young and currently play for Binghamton of the American League, which the Whalers and Capitals co-sponsor. Jensen. 19, was the Whalers’ second pick, 20th overall, in 1983. He began the season in Hartford, but collected only four assists in 11 games. He had been projected as the swift skating winger Ronnie Francis, the team’s top center, had…

ASK THE REFEREE
Q: If a team has pulled its goalkeeper for the extra player and the other team is awarded a penalty shot, would the shot be taken on the empty net. or would the goalie return? Johathan Gall Waterloo, Ont. A: The goalkeeper would be allowed to return, but no warmup or other delay is allowed. The alternate goalie can go in to defend the shot in place of the regular goalkeeper, too. Q: My question is the faceoff. Does the puck have to touch the ice before the player hits it or can he kick it before it hits the ice? If he kicks it in the air is that an illegal faceoff? Dino Makcrostas Weirton. WV A: I have never seen a player kick the puck on a faceoff—if he attempted to or in…
Stars Bounce Back After Being Blown Out
MINNESOTA NORTH STARS BLOOMINGTON—Maybe the Minnesota North Stars ran out of excuses. Or maybe they just got tired of using them. But just when the Stars seemed in real danger of dropping clear out of the playoffs, they started pulling together. They had an awful game in Quebec, an 8-0 blowout March 13, but that game might have been the norm, rather than the exception, a couple of weeks earlier. This time, it was only the second loss in seven games. That string included the game two nights later in Montreal, which became an imposing test for the North Stars for several reasons. They had beaten Montreal at the Met Center the previous week, so there would be no sneaking up on the Canadiens. Steve Payne was in the press box with a…
