Hammond Engineers Royal Success Story
LOS ANGELES KINGS LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles Kings figure to boast one of the best defenses in the club’s history next season. Okay, so their history in this department leaves a lot to be desired. Yet the Kings did manage to put together their first winning season since 1980-81 and slice 50 goals off the club record 376 they had allowed last year, allowing them to finish with a relatively respectable 4.00 average. “We’re definitely headed in the right direction,’’ general manager Rogie Vachon said. “But as well as things went this year, I imagine we’ll probably have to improve next year. The whole (Smythe) division is going to be better.” The Kings are banking their hopes on five rookies who received a considerable amount of ice time during their first-round playoff sweep at…
Francis Gets Vote Of Confidence
HARTFORD WHALERS HARTFORD—The closest thing the Hartford Whalers have to an overseer is Donald Conrad, executive vice-president of Aetna Life & Casualty, the club’s chief financial backer. Conrad will never be confused with George Steinbrenner. While he follows the Whalers closely, he must do so much of the time from a distance.

Move Penguins To Dallas
FAN FORUM Let your voice be heard! Send your comments to Fan Forum, THE HOCKEY NEWS, 85 Scarsdale Rd., Suite 100, Don Mills, Ont., Canada M3B 2R2. THE 1984-85 HOCKEY season has ended and once again the Pittsburgh Penguins have failed to make the playoffs, racking up a glorious 53 points. It appears that it will take more than Mario Lemieux to save this NHL franchise. But what? We in Dallas have the answer. Move the team here. The Penguins have a 9-25-1 record against Patrick Division teams. But they have a 6-8-1 record against Norris Division teams and on the road against the division are 3-3-1 this year. Let us do a little speculating here. If the Penguins moved to Dallas and moved from the Patrick to the Norris Division and continued to play at…
