TV Times: Guide To The Norris
Say what you will about the Norris Division. at least it’s never dull. It has been six seasons since a Norris Division team (Minnesota) reached the Stanley Cup final. The teams are getting better but there’s nothing to indicate it won’t take six more before a Norris Division team gets back there again. But what other division can boast shows like: The Detroit Follies. A burlesque. For every smart move, such as hiring coach Jacques Demers, there’s a conflict, like the Blues’ resulting civil suit or a blunder, like drafting ineligible college free agent lan Kidd.

I rested my shoulder. MONTREAL CANADIENS “When I started skating two weeks ago with my teammates, I really…
Sabres’ ‘King Kong’ Krupp Aims To Prove He Belongs
BUFFALO—The arms of Krupp, when fully extended, could knock three people out of a Hands Across America lineup. But West German Uwe Krupp, the Buffalo Sabres’ newest European import, doesn’t want to do that. Krupp, who is 6-foot-6 (and a half) inches tall and appears to have a wingspan to match, just wants to make a little room for himself in the Buffalo Sabres’ lineup. Lately, he has been getting a chance. “He’s got a good shot and he can skate.” says Sabres’ coach and general manager Scott Bowman after watching the first of Krupp’s training camp workouts. “We saw him in Europe and we know he can really go.” The Sabres are looking for a few fellows on defense who can take the puck and go. If one of those fellows happens to nearly 6-foot-7,…
