Like father, like son

but a long way to go

Pierre Bouchard scored his
first National Hockey League
goal Wednesday night in his
- 75th game. That leaves him just
48 goals and 710 games behind
his illustrious father.

The elated youngster of Butch

Bouchard, long-time NHL all .

star defenceman with Montreal
Canadiens, could recall every
second of the momentous occa-
sion. 4

The goal padded the lead for
the Canadiens to 2-0 en route to
a 4-2 victory over the trouble-
some Detroit Red Wings and
kept Montreal in a second-place
tie with Boston Bruins in the
East, one point behind division-
leading New York Rangers.

The Rangers were held to a 2-
2 standoff by Chicago Black
Hawks while Boston Bruins
broke out in the third period for
a 5-3 win over Los Angeles
Kings.

In other games, Toronto
Maple Leafs upset. Minnesota
North Stars 3-1 and Pittsburgh
Penguins pulled ont a 1-1 tie
with California Golden Seals.

Tonight the Rangers meet the
Flyers at Philadelphia and Buf-
falo Sabres are at home to Chi-
cago.

READY FOR CHECK

“I was moving into the De-
troit end to check Mickey Red-
mond,” recalled Bouchard iater
in the dressing room, “‘when the
puck came to me off the boards,

“T had plenty of time to take
the shot and though I back-
handed it I had quite a lot be-
hind it.” .

While the score ended Bou-
chard’s career-long drought, it
ended a somewhat frustrating
year for another Canadien de-
feneeman, all-star J.C, Trem-
blay.

The skilful Canadiens’ blueli-
ner, held scoreless throughout
the season, opened the scoring,
then notched the winner near
the end of the second period
after scores by Delroit’s Doug
Volmar and Red Berenson
evened the count at 2-2,

Bouchard was used infre-
quently by Montreal last year
and probably would have seen
even less action this term had
not Serge Savard been sidelined

with a recurring broken leg that
has plagued his career.

Given the opportunity to play,
23-year-old Bouchard has devel-
oped into a competent per-
former. But Wednesday night's
goal proved costly, financially.

Tremblay, as pleased with his
productive evening—] hadn't
been too worried'’—fingered his
young team-maté with the feed
bill for the Canadiens when they
celebrated later in the evening
at Bouchard's newly-opened
steakhouse.

SCORES TYING GOAL

Vic Hadfield became the sea-
son's second 20-goal scorer, get-
ting in the tying goal at Chicago
after being set up by centre
Jean Ratelle.

Ratelle, whe also set up the
Cpening score by the third
member of the Hot Line, Rod
Gilbert, drew rave notices after
the game from Chicago players
who tabbed his recent perform-
ances as the key to the New
York line’s prolific scoring ven-
tures this year,

“He seems to be getting
stronger,” said Hawk centre Pit
Martin, who had given the
Hawks a 2-] margin moments
before Hadfield’s goal.

“Time was when you could
give him a shove and move him.
But not any more.”

Another centre, Boston's Phil
Esposito, the league’s other 20-
goal scorer, didn’t hit against
the Kings but padded his points’
lead to 47, one ahead of Ratelle,
with three assists.

The Bruins were held in check
by the surprisingly aggressive
Kings until goals by Wayne
Cashman,Dallas Smith and
Fred Stanfield during a three-
minute span in the third period
sent them into a 5-2 fead.

FACES SUSPENSION

Boston's Derek Sanderson
faced a possible three-game
suspension and fines totalling
$150 after a third-period con-
frontation with referee Bryan
Lewis.

Sanderson disputed a tripping
call in the second period and his
profanity earned him a 10-min-
ute misconduct, Not content,
the high-spirited centre took
exception to the additional

“In technical terms, her body

“That puts her up there with

He was restrained by team-

Sanderson said iater in the
dressing room he expected he’d
be dealt with more severely
than others in the league: be-
cause of his past history.

Coach Tom Johnson,
however, was happy with the
outcome of the game.

“We seem to be able to turn it

LEAF COACH PLEASED
Leaf coach Johnny McLellan
was just as pleased with his
club’s performance against the
rugged North Stars who, white’
losing their second straight—
they went down 3-1 to lowly Buf-
falo Sunday—still maintained
their two-point hold over Chi-
cago atop the West Division.
"Tt was a hell of an effort,
probably our best game of the
season,’ said McLellan. ‘It had
to be because we beat the best
team in hockey; at least that's
what everyone has been telling
me,”
The Leafs, who skated tend-
