8 tee PAGE Aé, THE HERALD, Tuesday, May 10, 1977 SERIES RESUMES TONIGHT. Sub-par performance but 7 goals scored MONTREAL (CP) — Serge Savard, the elder statesman on Montreal ' Canadiens defence at 31, has played on five Stanley Cup championship teams and finds it difficult to make comparisons with this year’s edition of the Canadiens and the teams of the past. “This team here is very well balanced," said Savard on Monday after the Canadiens held a brisk one- hour workout in preparation for the second game of tonight’s National Hockey League championship series against Boston Bruins. “I’ve played with great teams in the past and it’s very difficult to start comparing them. I know one thing, there is no Jean Beliveau on this team and when I played with Jean Be- liveau, there were no Guy Lafleurs around. “Our team now is young, well-balanced. We lost only a record eight games this year, but that doesn’t mean the team is stronger than before. It is at least equal. “But, you know there are a lot of bad teams around now. They'll get better every year and it’s going to make our record that much tougher to.beat.’’ At the moment, the Canadiens are occupied with trying to dispose of Boston to take their 20th Stanley Cup and their 18th since the NHL took over sole possession of the trophy in 1927. The Canadiens did not play well in Saturday night’s opener, despite the 7-3 ctory and Savard said Montreal ‘could play a lot better. than that, even though we scored seven goals.”” One thing the Canadiens hope to improve is their power play, which has fizzled throughout the playoffs. In their last 24 chances, Montreal has managed just two goals, including one in six chances Saturday. | “We've been terrible on the power play since the ‘beginning of the playoffs,” said Savard.“I don’t know why, but I don’t play on the power play.” . Canadiens’ coach Scotty Rowman agreed his power- play unit had to get Straightened out. “The only ones we. have been successful with, recently were the ones with Doug Jarvis at centre and Larry Robinson on the right wing. It's a dangerous thing if the power play isn’t working. We're not getting the shots now. We are going to get some.” Bowman aid Bill Nyrop has recovered sufficiently from a pulled muscle in his side and will play tonight with Mike Polich likely to be yanked from the lineup. “That will put us back to our regular team,”’ Bowman said. “We will use six defenceman and 11 for- wards or five defencemen and 12 forwards with Rick Chartraw going up to the wing or laying on defence as needed.” The Bruins will make at least one change for tonight's game with veteran left winger Johnny Bucyk likely to dress in place of Matti Hagman. Buyck has played in just three of the Bruins' previous 11 playoff— games. - ‘ Bruins’ coach Don Cherry said the move will enable him to go with four lines with Dave Forbes picked to centre the fourth unit.

It looks like Elza Dodd has done a good job of turning his club around with a few of last year's faces and some new ones this season. The Terrace Hotel is still . in need of players and anyone interested in playing food fastball can phone Red Kluss at 635-6787. The Skeena Cedar Kings Fastball Club is much more improved over last years elub. They have acquired another one of Red’s ‘Bean- baggers” and turned him into a ball-player. Of course I'm talking of Brant Arnold Smith who like Dave Sharpe has seen the light. The Kings have also strengthened their pitching considerably by picking up a thrower from Winnipeg and another from Edmonton. Glen Coffey from Winnipeg is welcomed by the ball club and also Garry Rix and family from Edmonton. They also have a: young hurler from Prince Rupert joining the team. Scott Milne is a 16-year-old chucker who has impressed everyone on the team. Once again there are still a few positions left on the Terrace Hotel squad so enme on oul and give it a sbot guvs. I think it's only a matter ot time before Gary Paulson. gets Sored and learns how to thruw un- derhand.

The 25-year-old Cren- shaw, a huge gallery favorite with the en- thusiastic mob of fellow Texans, played just in front of Floyd and leaped in fist- clenched glee to 4 three- stroke lead with a 15-18 foot eagle putt on the par-five 15th. But Floyd. waited patiently in the fairway for Crenshaw to leave the green, lashed his second shot on the putting surface and dropped a 30-footer, also for eagle. Suddenly, Crenshaw’s margin was back to a single stroke. The 16th went by in regu- lation but Crenshw turned less than gentle when he flew his shot over the green into deep rough on the 17th.

He is better than I thought. I maintain, however, that he is only the class of an or- dinary lot.” . Arcaro and his co- ‘commentator on’ ABC-TV, Howard Cosell, came in for criticism after the race for what was considered a negative appraisal of the unbeaten bay colt.
