Minn, (AP) — ‘Brian
4 Lawton fsn't bothered by
critics who say Minnesota
North Stars made the
wrong move by picking
4 him fiest in the National
Hockey League draft last
June,

“They can write that
now, but we'll see if they

Injuries have taken the
luster off his rookie

game-winner against the
Blues waa only his 10th
goal this season,

Last year’s No. 2 pick,
Sylvain Turgeon of
Hartford Whalers, has 70
polnts, U.S. Olympian Pat
LaFontaine has 11 gcals
in 12 games for New York
Islanders, and Steve

85 points,

“It’s been’ a . very
disappointing year and
people have the right to
compare me with other
rookies,'* Lawton said, “]

with the injuries, I have
only skated on a regular
line for about 28 games,

“It doesn't take a
mathematician to figure
out how many polnts I
would have had if I was in
all 86 games."
STAR QUALITY.

Minnesota coach Bill
Mahoney sald Lawton’s
goal proves he “has the
makings of a star for-a
long tinie to come,”

Joe Mullen sent the
game into overtime with
only 18 seconds left in

Steelers were winning, the

fara figured it was despite |

‘the quarterback, not
because of him,

“We bent Cleveland 44-17,.
and E still got booed,” Stoudt :
remembers. “It ' was just

another day.’". :

Any athlete who saya he
doesn’t hear the crowd
aught to consult Stoudt,

"It's ‘impossible not to
hear,” he: said, ‘The

but you.can't think.

How do you hantile that

kind of problem Stoudt
grinned. =
“You think about moving

The Stallions, of course,
have something leas of a

That doas not, however,
mean a.pressure-free ride
for the quarterback. :
