Page 10, The Herald, Thursday, October 4, 1979 The Wednesday night Timbermen game's outstanding players, Dave Sharpe and Ron Marieau, go one on one with Sharpe collecting hig het trick. Marleau was left alone several dimes during the IN EXHIBITION Timbermen axe Bulldogs By DON SCHAFFER Herald Staff Writer Last night’s Terrace Timbermen cP Air Bulldogs game ended with a 10-5 score. There were times that the Timbermen looked that much better than the Bulldogs, who were minus several players who are making the trip to Austrailia. However, there were other times that made one wonder exactly which side was supposed to he in the lead. The Timbermen, coming off two lopsided losses over the weekend, looked sloppy and disorganized in the first period. They did manage to come out of the period with a 34 lead, which doesn't say much for the play of the Bulldogs, who were badly outshot and owed the closeness of the final score to spectacular goaltending by Ron Marleau. Giving the Bulldogs the benefit of their situation, though, they were short several players. Showing off the uniforms that they will be wearing to Austrailia on an exhibition series, they played without several players from other cities which will eventually make up the team. ‘The first period mean- dered aimlessly for the first four minuites, with only one shot on goal by the Tim- bermen's Mike Mowat, who was given the puck in front of the Bulldog’s net but didn’t get a good shot away. The first goal was scored by Doug Linton, whe drilled in a slapshot from a Joe Smoley pass at 4:13, Harold Box was in the penalty box for trip- ping at the time. Dave Sharpe scored the second goal when Marleau made just about hia only mistake of the night, juggling a Gord Cochrane shot and dropping it for the razor-sharp Sharpe to pop in behind him. Greg Morgan algo drew an assist on the goal, at 6:45. Timberman Rick Kennedy drew a penalty for tripping at 7:52, which allowed the team to display some good penalty killing, especially from Linton and Brad Riley, who was ejected from the game in the second period for disputing an offside call too vigourously. The Timbermen made the score 3-0 at 14:40 on a Greg Morgan goal. Blair Prit- chard won the draw, getting the puck to Kennedy who passed it to Morgan, Morgan wasted no time with the slapshot, taken from the tap of the faceoff circle. Grant Casper, an offensive standout for the Bulldogs throughout the game, had a good chance toward the end of the period when he narrowly missed the net with a slaphot that heat goaltender Gerry Lamming cleanly. Blair Pritchard had the last good chance of the period on a neat passing play that Marleau had to be very quick to stop. Mike Mowat finished off the stats in the first perlod by taking a crosachecking penalty with one second left. This allowed the Bulldogs to obtain and maintain momentum over the first four minutes of the second period The Timbermen were belng outskated during the begining of the second, a sharp contrast lo the majority of the first, Once they established control, though, it wasn't long before they pushed the score to 4-0. Lynton brought the puck past the centre red line and slid a crisp pass to Sharp on the opposite wing, who skated in alone, deked Marleau who had to come out Lo slop him, and shot the puck in unmolested at 5:14 of the second, : Seven minutes later at 12:29, Rick Kennedy upped the Timbermen’s lead to 5-0 after a lengthy period where the T-men forced Marleau to make at least six spec- tacular saves, The Bulldogs defense had collapsed completely, and Marleau was the only factor which kept the game from being a complete wipeout. The Timbermen had had three clear-cut scoring chances in the seconds immediately preceding Kennedy's goal, which was assisted by Chris Hyland and Smoley, They appeared to collapse after this flurry, and CP Air took control of the play as Casper tipped in a shot from Miller to get thelr initial goal. Sean James also drew an assist on the play, only 11 seconds after Kennedy’a shat at 12:40. dJamesm got off a nice backhand directly in front of Lamming which resulted in a nice stop, after which the Timbermen came back and scored the 6-1 goal at 13:25. Smoley fed a pass to Cochrane, who took a hard shot from 40 feet that Marleau let take a rebound right onto the stick of Mc- Vey, who then slipped it between Marleau’s legs. Some good end-to-end action folloyed this, with Linton again forcing Marleau into a terrific save. At 15:01 Casper made the score 6-2 when he in- tercepted an errant pass and charged down the left wing, drilling a hard shot past Lamming. . The Timbermen applied more pressure onto the overworked Marleau, who robbed Pritchard on a breakaway at 15:28. Prit- chard charged down the right wing and let go a high hard shot that was headed straight for the top corner. After more good end-to-end hockey, Timbermen forced Marleau to make several more good saves before Cochrane drew an_ in- terference call from referee Wayne Brald. CP Air failed to capitalize dramatically, when Sharpe got his hat- trick on an unassisted shorthanded breakaway goal, only seven seconds after the call at 17:17. The period ended with more hard skating from both teams. For the third period, the T- men made a customary exhibition-game goaltender change, putting Tibor Mandur in the nets. The pace of the third period was much slower than that of the second, but this wasn't Mandur’s fault, Dan Fallwell scored the third perlad’s firat goal al 3:11, Harold Box flipped the puck to Fallwell, who really drilled the shot past Mandur to make the acore 7:3. Sharpe drew a roughing penalty 22 seconds later, but nothing came of it. After returning to play, Sharpe drew an assist on a pretty goal by Pritchard, who pulled Marleau out of the net after getting the breakaway pass and slipped it home Eree at 6:20, This triggered a final flurry by the Timbermen, who scored two more goals in the next 1:30. Greg Morgan got the hat trick by seoring both ten seconds . The first was from a eross‘ice feed from Ken- nedy, and the second on a centering pass from Smoley behind the net. Mike Mowat assisted on the second goal. The times were 7:40 and 7:50. Dave Sharpe missed a breakaway chance at 3:45, after which the Bulldogs scored the last two goals of the period. Perseverance got them the 10-4 goal at 9:40, NHL EX. evening, stopping twice as many shots as he allowed in the Tim- bermen’s 10-5 win over the CP Air Bulldogs. Cliff Flury assisting on James' second of the night after a goal-mouth scram- ble. At 11:51 the Bulldogs’ Box got the 10-5 goal on a nice 3 on 2 break, combining with Casper and Bob Peacock. The game finished with some excitement, as the Timbermen found them- selves shorthanded after Kennedy drew a tripping eall, and Pritchard had himself ejected for protesting a roughing call. This left the T-men two men short for almost two minutes and a man short for the rest of the game. Nothing came of it, and the game ended 10-5 Timbermen. Individual standouts for the losers were Casper and Bruins edge Rookle defenceman Bay Bourque drew up 3 for the Canadiens in his native Montreal, but now, at 18, he's happy to be with Boston Bruins. “Boston is a great team and I'm happy to be with Boston,’ the 16-year-old Bourque said Wednesday night after breaking away in the second period for a short- handed goal which lifted the Bruins to a 3-2 victory over Montreal in a National Hockey League exhibition game. In other games, Van- couver Canucks defeated Winnipeg Jets 3-1, Toronto Maple Leafs blanked Chicago Black Hawks 5-0, Minnesota North Stars beat Edmonton Oilers 6-4, Washington Capitals edged Philadelphia Flyers 4-3, New York Islanders downd Quebec Nordiques 6-2, Atlanta Flames beat the U.S. Olympic team 6-1, St. Louis Blues nipped Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 and Los Angels Kings tied 5-5 with Colorado Rockies. After goals by Jean Ratelle on a power play and Tom Songin, Bourque gave the Bruins a 3-1 lead with his breakaway score, Montreal's Bob Gainey beat Gilles Gilbert for a goal in the firat perlod, while Rejean Houle added another goal for the Canadiens SPORTS COMMENT By DON SCHAFFER [know, Iknow. Jim Taylor doesn’t work for the Sun anymore. He works for the Province. But let's be fair. He worked for the Sun for as long as ’ve been able toread, and I still see his smiling face in the paper every day. Now he works for a smaller paper, and hestill has a bigger staff than me. I'd still like to find out about your group’s event, before and after they take place. I promise ['ll be more careful with your scores than I was with Taylor's address. ing of scores, the three extra-inning games that have been played so fer in the National and American league playoffs prove that, if the leagues haven't achieved parity throughout each division, then at least the best teams are as close to equal as they can be. The Reds and Pirates _put on the two best baseball games I have seen in years, Although the Pirates won both, either game could have been taken by the Reds and in fact the Reds could be where the Pirates are right in the cathird seat. By the look of the Angels-Orloles series so far, it will be just as close. The teams in these playoffs are so even that you would have to be a fool to bet on either series, Of course, some people never learn, If you don’t have cable, make friends with someone who does. If you do, put the tube on Channel 2, sit back and enjoy some of the moat exciting baseball there is. The great ball might explain the poor turnout at the Timbermen-CP Air Bulldogs game last night. Although the game was a bit ragged, it was oc- casionally very good, with moments of great passing and good goaltending mixed with liberal doses of sloppy play on both sides. It was just an exhibition game. Nevertheless, both teams deserve more attention from the area's hockey fang than they got last night. There were more people at the intrasquad scrimmage two Sundays ago. Let's get out and support our hockey clubs. We can't really expect them to win if there is no-one in the building to r. Phota by Dan Schaffer James, each with twa goal and an assist, and of course the put-upon Marleau, without whom the Tim- bermen could likely have scored five more goals, For the winners, Sharpe had three goals and two assisis, Morgan had three goals and an assist, and Smoley stood out 48 a playmaker netting three assists. Brad Riley also played well until being thrown out. There is still some work to be done in the Timbermen’s time before the season starts, but they are showing improvement and could easily become a very good team. Future exhibition games include one in Smithers on Sunday. Habs againat rockie goalie Yves Belanger in the third period.

Lever and’ Ron Sedlebauer scored in the third perlod to give the Canucks the win. Mike Palmateer and Jiri Crha combined for Toronto's first shutout of the exhibition season, turning aside 16 shots in beating the Black Hawks, Mark Kirton, Lanny MecDoanld, Laurie Bosch- man, John Anderson and Rocky Saganiuk scored for Toronto, Ron Zanussi scored his sixth goal in five games to lead Minnesota over Ed- ‘monton. Glen Sharpley, Kim Young, KentErlk Andersson, Bad Maxwell and Fred Ahern also scored for the North Stars. Edmonton got coals from Dave Lumley, on Areshenkoff, John Gould and Wayne Gretzky.

It gave Baltimore a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five American League cham- plonship series while ex- tending to 10 the Orioles’ string of First-game victories in playoff and World Series baseball action. The series continued here today with 23-game winner Mike Flanagan pitching for the Orioles against 1¢-game ‘winner Dave Frost. “When they open the door for us, we're golng to step through,”” sald Doug DeCinces, who singled to launch the winning rally. “That's one ofthe things that has made ue successful all year. A team can’t let upagainst us for a minute or we'll find a way to beat them," Lowenstein, used sparingly after severely apraining his left ankle on Aug. 9, batted for Mark Belanger after California manager Jim Fregosl or- dered an intentional walk to Al Bumbry. In his first a rance in post-season play, Lowen- stein hit the firat pinch homer in AL playoff histery. During the regular season, he hit 11 homers and drove in 4 runs In 197 times at bat.

Montague came in at the start of the elghth after starter Nolan Ryan developed cramps in his right calf, Lowenstein hit only .217 as a pinch-hitter during the regular aeason, with five hits and one run batted in. But manager Earl Weaver, who relies on even the moat esoteric of atatistcs, noted that Lowenstein was one-for- one against Montague ‘this season. Fregosi said Montague didn’t throw a bad pitch, but that a stiff wind had blown the ball back into fair territory. The Callfornia manager also contended that second baseman Bobby Grich had misjudged a pop fly b DeCinces in the third, allowing DeCinces to reach secoml, With that opening, the Orloles scored two unearned runs on a joule, b Rick em and a ie Belanger. ¥ The two runs offset the Ir driven in by California's an Ford on a firat-Inning homer and a thirdinning double. The Orioles went ahead 3-2 on a fourth-inning sacrifice fly by DeCinces, but the Angels pulled even in the sixth on a run-scoring double by Grich.
