a mistake. They scored a
powerplay goal to take a 3-1

on our bench,” sald Flyers
coach Pat Quinn, “We were
sagging, but the bench came
alive at that point,”

The victory kept the
Fiyers unbeaten streak alive

” at25, including 18 wins. They

remainder of the period, out-
shooting Quebec 17-10.

Geoftfrion just wondering why

MONTREAL (CP)
Claude Ruel assumed his
duties as coach of Montreal
Canadiens at practice
Thursday, while the man he
replaced sat at home,
wondering where the
promise of August had gone
‘wrong.

“Where the mistake waa
made ... where [ made my
mistake is that I'm a human
being,” said Bernie Geof-
frion, who quit as coach of
the National Hockey
League's Stanley Cup

emotional meeting with
managing director Irving
Grundman and others.

first time he had gone to’

Grundman ready to quit.

“T wasn’t tough enough,”
said Geoffrion, -"At the
beginning, everything was
perfect. We had the system.
Claude had the same system

going with the that Scotty
(Bowman) had. We didn't
have to say anything, It was
the same thing In games,
same thing in practices,

“Then all of a sudden,
after the defeat here by
Philadelphia, it started to go
down."

Geoffrion was referring to
a 5-3 losa Nov. 3: to the
Flyers.

“Three weeks ago, [
figured I lost my touch.
Those guys were probably
being treated like dirt by

he put himself in shape,
then? I said to myself: ‘Hey,
at 49 I need this like I need a

I take that?

“You take a guy like
Lafleur. At three o'clock in
the afternoon he’s at the rink
for every game.. At six
o'clock he's dressed and
ready lo play. Who needs the
other guys?”

Geoffrion said his son
Danny, a right winger with
the Canadiens, also figured
in his resignation,

“We didn’t talk for three
weeks at one time... and I
know he can play. When
Napier gat hurt, he played in
Montreal three games, and [

Standing. Lafleur and

The two acts provide identical rebates:

® 75 percent on the first $100; plus,

® one-third on the next $600.

Since the NDP is both a federal and a
