Bruins’ Gallant Effort Not Enough To Beat Hab Jinx
BOSTON BRUINS BOSTON—“At least I can say I was part of the best game of hockey ever; I was there,” said Nevin Markwart, who was playing in his first playoff game for the Boston Bruins. Markwart’s enthusiasm may have run away with him a bit but, indeed, the Bruins’ 1-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens in the fifth and final game of their Adams Division semi-final certainly ranks among the best. Tied at two victories apiece, with possible elimination riding on every shot, check or save, the two long-time adversaries went scoreless for 59 minutes, nine seconds before Mats Naslund of the Canadiens finally put the puck in the net. The suspense and tension was so thick in the Montreal Forum that, when Naslund’s shot flew between goalie Doug Keans’ pads, Fred Cusick, the…
Where Have The Great Goalies Gone?
Where are you Jacques Plante now that Pelle Lindbergh needs you? Come back Johnny Bower and tell Tom Barrasso how it’s done. Won’t somebody—the ghost of Georges Vezina, perhaps—come forth and guide the 1985-model goaltender to greatness? If there is one certainty about the more than 40 gainfully employed National Hockey League goaltenders it is that, with one exception, none have found the microchip of immortality. “We don’t have Terry Sawchuks, Glenn Halls and Turk Brodas,” says St. Louis Blues’ general manager Ron Caron. “Those guys maintained a level of greatness for years and years. It’s not that way anymore.” Not only is it not that way, but a league-wide poll of NHL experts on various levels fails to produce any definitive “best goalie in the league,” although four names regularly emerge. Pelle Lindbergh, Tom Barrasso,…
He Shoots, He Scores!
The International Hockey Weekly Founded in 1947 Published by W.C.C. Publishing Ltd. 85 Scarsdale Road, #100, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M3B 2R2. “He shoots, he scores!” The excited, high-pitched voice of Foster Hewitt ringing “high above the ice in the Maple Leaf Gardens gondola,” was unmistakable and lively. And now, forever stilled. A hockey legend, Foster Hewitt died in his sleep in Toronto, April 21, 1985, at the age of 82. Hewitt was the pioneer of hockey broadcasting, a career he began back in 1923, and stayed with for more than 50 years, breaking ground in an industry that had never been explored. His career started more by chance then by design, a game between two OHA senior teams being played in Toronto, and he was assigned to cover it because he was at the bottom of seniority ladder…
