NEW YORK (CP) — When
New York Rangers step on
the ice for the third game of
the Stanley Cup final at
Madison Square Garden
tonight, they will be greeted
by the booming theme from
Star Wars and a deafening
ovation. They will know
they're home,

‘The home-ice advantage,
which they wrested from
Montreal Canadiens by
splitting the first two games
of the best-ofseven National
Hockey League final, is an
important factor, especially
with the fanatically vocal
fans who support the
Rangers. .

Veteran centre Walt
Tkaczuk explained after
Wednesday’s practice how
he feels about playing in the
Garden

‘It's always nice to come
home to play in your home
arena,” Tkaczuk said.
“Knowing that all the fans
are behind you is great.
~ “I think it will give ue a Ilft

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (AP)
~ Elvin Hayes hit for 25
points and Bobby Dandridge
had 10 of his 20 in the fourth
quarter Wednesday night as

National Basketball
Association finals back to the
Bullets’ home court for the

’ Reserve forward Greg
Ballard had nine of his 19
points in the final period as
the Bullets fought back from
the Spurs’ commanding 3-1
lead to even the series 3-3.
The Bulleta led 54-49 at
halftime, but the Spurs
staged a third-quarter

Bullets 12-2 in a 3\4minute

But Hayes, hounded by

Some of the Canadiens

. complained earlier this week

about the “rotten” ice at the
Garden but the Rangers take
it In stride.
The team appears to have
bounced back from its
crushing 4-2 defeat in
Montreal Tuesday. Its
spirits, which were sagging
in the Montreal dressing
room, picked up in a
boisterous practice Wed-

Maloney sald. “E:verybody's

Maloney said the defence
will have to tighten up and
coach Fred Shero had the
team drilling with one
defenceman facing two
forwards. The Canadiens got
a wave: of two-on-one and
even three-on-one breaks
Tuesday and obviously Shero
is looking to close that chink.

But the team spirit has
picked up. There's music
drowning out any attempt at
dressing room conversation
and playful tape fights break
out among the players.

During practice, a:
television sportscaster tried
to interview Phil Espesito

the rink.
