Habs getno sympathy | By THE CANADIAN PRESS Montreal Canadiens, finding out how the other half lives, are discovering there is little sympathy throughout the National Hockey League as they continue a slump which has seem them lose their last six games. "T love it,” beamed Min- nesola coach Glen Sonmor after his North Stars had handed Montreal a 5-2 set- back in Bloomington, Minn., Wednesday night. The year was 1940 when the Canadiens, winners of the Stanley Cup for the last four years but seemingly intent on reassuring op- ponents thia is the year they can be had, last lost as many games in succession. “Por sure I’ve got to be worried,” said coach Claude Ruel, who also saw his team lose its 10th straight road game. "This club needs a win badly, over anybody. “I can’t find fault with the team; they’re trying very badly, But everything went their way tonight. The North Stars were fired up, just like everybody is for us," The soaring North Stars, winners of five of their last six games, proved they're for real by exploding for four unanswered goals to erase a 2-1 deficit, The victory lifted Min- nesota to a tie for third spot in over-all standings with Boston Bruins, each with 39 nts. Al MacAdam gave Min- nesota a 1-40 lead at 14:47 of the first period, his sixth goal in the last three games. Guy Lafleur end Steve Shutt connected for Montreal for a 2-1 lead after one period, but Glen Sharpley got the equalizer at 3:40 of the second period and then Mike Polich, Greg Smith and Steve Payne each scored to highlight the Stara’ third- period eruption. In Toronto, where his Kings were playing to a 44 draw with the Maple Leafs, Los Angeles coach Bob Berry was not sympathetic to the Canadiens’ plight. “T don't think anybady is shedding any tears about Montreal,”’ said Berry, whose club now is two 'polnts away from tying the Canadiens for the lead in the Norris Division. “I think it’s the best thing for hockey. I've got nothing against Montreal, but it's nice they're stumbling a little Elsewhere, Detroit Red Wings defeated the Oilers 6-4 in Edmonton, Buffalo Sabres edged the Jets 3-2 in Win- nipeg, the Nordiques downed Colorado Rockies 6-3 in.
