WINGS CLIPPED
The Kalamazoo Wings breezed through their Turner Cup quarterfinals with four straight victories over the Flint Spirits and Wings’ coach John Marks was hopeful that momentum would carry over into the semifinal round against Muskegon. It didn’t. The Lumberjacks, the regular-season champions, halted the Wings’ postseason streak with a 4-2 triumph at Muskegon April 22. Wings’ goalie Jarmo Myllys went down at the nine-minute mark of the second period of that game with a knee injury and his status for the remainder of the series was uncertain. If Myllys can’t play, backup goalie Larry Dyck must play the rest of the playoffs unless he were to get hurt. Wade Flaherty—who led Greensboro to the East Coast League title—will backup Dyck, but, according to league rules can only play in an emergency. IHL The Wings…

MISSED ‘CHANCE OF A LIFETIME’ IRKS PAGE
The Minnesota North Stars were never supposed to get past the Chicago Blackhawks in the Norris Division semifinal. The fact that they didn’t was of no consolation. One of the strangest hockey sea sons in memory, a 16-8-1 start and 10-5-1 finish sandwiched around an atrocious 10-27-2 middle, ended when Minnesota was beaten 5-2 by the Blackhawks in Game 7 of the Norris Division semifinal April 16. “When we look back on this a few years down the road, we’re going to realize that it was a chance of a lifetime,” coach Pierre Page said. “We weren’t supposed to (beat Chicago) but we got to Game 7 and we had a chance. You only get so many chances to win a big game. “We had a good year; it could have been better.” The…
