Juveniles win shootout

If you're going lo go to a
Commercial Hockey League
game in Terrace, make sure
you stay for the last period.

Wednesday night the
Juveniles ran up nine of
twelve third-period goals en
route to a 144 win over
Westend, but Thursday they
really needed all five as they
just barely beat McEwan
GM 10-9 in an eleven-goal
last period shootout.

The Juveniles took a 2-0
third period lead on goals by
Ken Wideman and Larry
Nordstrom. They made it 3-0
with a Warren Crick goal at
8:45 of the second and were
pressing hard when they got
caught with one defenceman
in the corner. McEwan took
advantage of the error and

Don McColl scored on a nice
play al 11:04, and quickly got
a second to get McEwan
right in the game al 11:19.

McEwan tied it up al 18:15
on a Steve Smyth goal, but
they let down in the last
minute and let the Juveniles
take a 5-3 lead into the third
period. Doug Middleton and
Dave Smyth got the goals
within 30 seconds in the last
minute.

This set the stage for the
second wild third period in
two nights. McEwan started
the proceedings at 1:26 with
Stan Smyth's second goal of
the night. Middleton restored
the two-goal margin at 5:35
but McEwan came back
again to make il 6-5 at 7:17 on

a Rick Lewis gaal.

Darcy Mallet madeit 7-5 at
9:32 and Lewis got his second
in a row unassisted 20
seconds later, to make il 7-6,
McEwan’s Ken Gordon tied
il at 7-7 with 9:01 left, the
Juveniles took the lead back
al 11:46 on a Walter
Degerness goal, and
McEwan lied it again with
Keith Keating scoring at
12:15,

The score remained tied at
8 until 17:29 when the
Juveniles took a lead they
wouldn't give up on Dave
Smyth's second goal of the
night.

Crick's second gual of the
game proved to be the
eventual winner at 18:03, but

McEwan still had a goal, left
in them, Darry] Mallet made
it 10-9 with a minute and
ihree seconds left to play,
with six attachers on the ice.

The entire last minute of
the game was played without
a goal, but there had been
quite enough offence in the
game to salisfy everyone
except McEwan.

Doug Middleton got three
goals and three assists on the
night for the Juveniles, while
Rick Lewis got lwo goals and
three assists and Darryl
Mallet got a goal and four
assists for McEwan.

Next commercial league
action is Saturday night
when Terrace Hotel meets
Skeena Hotel al 9:30.

King’s another
good rookie

Kansas City Kings’ coach
Cotton Fitzsimmons, who
had a rookie of the year last
season in Phil Ford, thinks
he’s got another fine fresh-
man this year in Reggie
King.

“Someday we'll be able to
send him out bear-hunting
with a switch,” Fitzsimmons
said of the muscular young
forward, “I think we got us a
good one, I can't believe he
was Still available on the 18th
pick,”

Even though they didn't
get to pick until late in the
first round, Kansas City was
still able to get the
rebounding forward it was
hoping for in the 6-foot-6
King, from Alabama. And

he’s already paying
dividends. y
King hauled down four

defensive rebounds in the
last two minutes to help
Kansas City defeat Los
Angeles Lakers 114-108 in a
National Basketball Associ-
ation game Thursday night.
Ford provided the offence,
scoring 34 points for the
second game ina row,

In other NBA games
Thursday night, San Antonio
Spurs outscored New York
Knicks 136-132 and Golden
State Warriors beat Denver
Nuggets 120-102,

The Lakers, who had a
threegame winning streak
snapped and lost for just the
third time in 13 starts, led

throughout the first half and

held a 62-52 advantage at
intermission.

But the Kings closed the
gap in the third period and
played the Lakers even for
most of the fourth quarter
before going ahead to stay
107-106 on a free throw by
King.

at2 p.m. They will also have
two other games, either
tonight or tomorrow

depending on the draw and
how the other teams have
fared,

TORONTO (CP) — The

ish have yet to crawl into
he National: Hockey
ague's barrel. ‘

True, the four new kids on
he block that grew from the
‘emnants of the World
Jockey Association haven't
hreatened to bring good old
2ord Stanley's cup back to
heir respective cities. But
hen, nobody gave them a
thance. They were written
4f as also-rans before the
‘irst puck was dropped.

Hartford Whalers, Ed-
nonton Qilers, Quebec
Nordiques and Winnipeg
Jets have proved to be
-espected opposition, at
imes downright tough,
chrough the opening fifth of
the season,

“]'m not surprised at all,’
said Howard Baldwin,
general partner of the
Whalers and former league
president of the WHA. “I’ve
said it before and I'll say it
again. The top teams in the
WHA over the last four years
were on a par with most of
the teams in the NHL. I'm
not going to say we were as

- good or better than Montreal —

or Boston, but our teams
right now are as good as the
average NHL clubs,”

A quick glance at the NHL
standings shows Baldwin to
be correct.

Winnipeg, at five wins,
eight losses and three ties is
tied with two other clubs for
second spot in the Smythe
Division. Edmonton is three
points back but two ahead of
the fifth-place Colorado
Rockies. Hartford at 4-6-6 is
three points up on Detroit
Red Wings in the’ Norris

Division while the Nordiques

trail the tough Adams
Division with a 5-8-2 mark,

Against established NHL
clubs the picture is rosier.

From top to bottom,
Quebec leads the parade
with a 5-6 mark and a goals-
for-against mark of 35 both
ways. The Nordiques have
been shut out just once, 30
by Buffalo Sabres, and are 3-
3 at home. They also are the
lone new club to have
recorded a shutout, 3-0 over
Chicago Black Hawks.

The big win, though, Is
their 5-4 victory over
Montreal Canadiens at
home. .

The Whalers rate just
behind the Nordiques
against the old guard witha
4-5-4 ‘record, Against
established NHL clubs they
have scored 41 goals and
have had 42 scored against
them. They have yet to be
shutout and their worst
defeat was a 6-1 pasting by
New York Islanders in
Uniondale. At home they are
2-2. .

For obvious reasons, both
the Jets and Oilers have wot
fared as well.

The. Jets are 3-8-5 versus
the established chits and
goal scoring ‘ac been their
laring weakness,

They have scored only 28
goals while surrendering 56
and have yet to win in six
yoad games. While away
from Winnipeg, where they
are 3-2-3, they have been
blanked on three occasions,
one of them an 8-0 pounding
by Atlanta Flames

in the wide range of

Wednesday, 5

But like the Qilers, win-
nipeg suffered.the most
through the merger of the
two leagues with just nine
players returning from their
1978-79 championship team.

The Black Hawks grabbed
Terry Ruskowski, Chicago's
leading scorer with four
goals and 12 assists and Rich
Preston, five goals and five
assists. The top scorer with
Allanta Flames is also an ex-
Jet, Kent Nilsson, with 11
goals and 10 assists,

But that's not all,

The Jets also: lost Kim
Clackson ta Pittsburgh
Penguins and both Glenn
Hicks and Barry Long to
Detroit. °

The Oilers, with a record
of: 2-10-4 against the
established NHL, can score
the goals but their problem is

‘stopping the other. team. -

They've scored 51, but have

74 scored against them,
including the worst pounding
absorbed by any of the four
clubs to date, a 10-2 [oss to
the Rangers in New York.

They have a 1-3-3 mark at’
home. :
Just like the Jets, Ed.
monton believes it was raped,
in the merger. ;

A thumping,
a comeback

Ev's Clippers and All
Seasons were winners last
night in Terrace Men’s
Basketball League action at
Skeena Junior Secondary
School.

In the opener, Ev's took
advantage of the Kluss'
squad's bad night to score a
100-68 victory. Ernie Froese
got 20 and Dale Prest and
Richard Klein shot 19. each
for the balanced Ev's of-
fence, while Fred Lindsay

got 19 and Dave Metzmeier
got 14 for the losers,

In the nighteap, All
Season’s squeezed by the
Skeena Hotel Orphans 77-74
after holding and blowing a
19 point lead earlier in the
second half. Mike Ireland
scored 24 and Doug McKay
contributed 16 for All
Seasons, while the Orphans
got 28 from Willie Harvey
and 16 from Pat Kofoed ina
losing cause. :
