Leafs Lose But They’re Not Singing Blues
TORONTO—There was victory in this defeat. Six of them to be exact—which works out to approximately six more than anybody expected when the Toronto Maple Leafs’ embarked on their second season April 9. But it was one less than they needed. The Leafs lost a heartbreaker to the hometown St. Louis Blues, 2-1, in the seventh game of their Norris Division final series. Finally, after a sweep over the heavily-favored Chicago Blackhawks and three more wins over the Blues, Toronto’s playoff flight of fancy had been grounded. The Maple Leafs, the second-worst team in National Hockey League history to make the playoffs, lost but they weren’t losers. “This is the first time in a long while that we’ll be able to walk down the street during the summer and not be ashamed to meet anyone,” said…
Eaves Shocking Addition To Flame Lineup

In Calgary’s 8-2 win in the second game of the series, Eaves main contribution was inspirational. However, he didn’t look…
Elimination Doesn’t Rain On Whaler Parade
HARTFORD—Shed no tears for the Hartford Whalers. Three days after they were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs, the city held a parade in their honor. Yup. Fire trucks, floats, marching bands, Gov. William O’Neill—the full 60 minutes. With all due respect to the downtown council and their well-meaning ways, clearly, all this winning is going to take some getting used to. The Whalers, who already lead the New York Islanders in retired numbers 3-0, this year bested Edmonton and Philadelphia, among others, in parades, 1-0. Hey, as Emily Dickinson once surmised, success is counted sweetest by those who don’t succeed. “What we did this year raises the demands for next year, and that’s a good thing,” Mike Liut said. “This year our goal was to make the playoffs, but it was a half-hearted goal,…
