Scouts Met Their Objective Of Doing Better Than Isles
The National Hockey League features the best and the rest. Former goalie Peter McDuffe definitely fit into the latter category. He saw six seasons of limited National Hockey League action from 1971 to 1976, playing but 57 games for four teams. Add to that one season in the World Hockey Association, which included 12 more games, and you have his major league career in a nutshell. But there is more to the story of McDuffe. It is one of determination, of spirit that kept him going after years in the minors and again in NHL where he subsisted as a No. 2 and No. 3 goalie. “It was kind of tough bouncing back and forth being a starter and then riding the bench,” said McDuffe, who played in the NHL for the St. Louis…
Winners To Losers In Three Games
QUEBEC—“I hate to admit it, but we really got our fannies kicked.” Quebec Nordiques’ general manager Maurice Filion had no choice but to be realistic in defeat as the Hartford Whalers stunned most hockey experts by sweeping the Nordiques 3-0 in the openinground best-of-five series.

Apart from the first 10 minutes of Game One, the Nordiques were easy prey. The Nords really came out flying, but Hartford goalie Mike Liut was unbeatable. The Whalers not only survived the attack, they drew strength from it. Anton Stastny scored a little later in the period but Hartford got the goal back with a minute left…
Vancouver Simply Beaten By Superior Team
VANCOUVER—Vancouver Canucks’ gritty defenseman Garth Butcher stood in the corner of the dressing room and said what the Edmonton Oilers must have thought about on occasion. “I honestly think they’re capable of going through the playoffs without losing a game,” said Butcher, whose team-mates had just been mashed for the third straight game in the elimination round of the playoffs. “I don’t think it would be easy, but I think it’s feasible. They had better players than us at every position. They’re loaded.” In winning 7-3 and 5-1 twice, the Oilers had simply defeated the Canucks. They hadn’t run up the score. They hadn’t gooned them. They had not embarrassed them unduly. They simply went about the business of advancing to a Smythe Division final series with the Calgary Flames. “We were beaten…
