The awesome Montreal Canadiens, who have won the Stanley Cup the past three seasons, are

. Off ta what can be termed at best, a mediocre ' start In the present NHL season, As of this _ writina, with their first ten aames under their

belt, they havea 5-4-1 record, which for them isa slump. Already the cries have been raised. Are the mighty Canadiens slipping? Have les mighty’ Habitlants lost their touch? What’s wrong? The past four seasons, the mighty Montreal Canadiens have been undoubtably the team to beat In the NHL. With the formidable defense trio of Guy Lapointe, Serge Savard, and Larry

Robinson, the most mobile defence corps in the

entire league, opposing forwards: , have had problems even getting a shot on goal. Even when they do, they face one of the finest goaltenders in the game today In Ken Dryden. Add that to the fact that they possess just about the finest collection of forwards any hockey team could ever ask for, and you have a team that's awful tough to beat at the best of times. Even when they have a bad game, they usually manage to win somehow. No wonder people are asking “what's wrong?” while they‘re having their problems now.

SHORT TAKES ON SPORT

with Chris Porter

Les Canadiens, for one thing, are probably sitll thinking a little about what happened to. Pierre Bouchard, who was picked by the. Washington: Capitals in the somewhat nonsensical drama known as the ‘league equailzation draft’. Bouchard had performed ‘well for Montreal during the past few seasons, but had somehow been left unprotected in this ‘draft'.No sooner had he been picked, than Canadiens’ front office organized a hasty trade that would have brought Bouchard back to Montreal, and sent forward Ron Shutt to the Capitals. Well, the NHL’s Board of Directors, in their infinite wisdom, declared the deal null and void. Bouchard decided that if he couldn't play for Montreal, he wouldn‘t play for anyone, and subsequently retired. Could this transaction be playing on the remainder of the players’ minds?

After just a few regular season games, their

prime superstar Guy Lafleur decided he was underpaid. He threatened to quit playing unless his contract was renegotiated. Alt of a sudden it was announced he had his new contract, and he didn’t even miss a game. Mind you, even though Guy Lafleur Is probably the best right winger in the game today, the Canadiens could probably win the Stanley Cup without him. But he’s a great drawing card, folks, and don’t kid your- selves, when les Canadiens are on the road, they are the blggest drawing card in the NHL, and one of the biggest reasons for this is that people want to see Guy Lafleur.

With all these front office problems, it's almost understandable why they're off to what to them, is a slow start In this still young NHL season, Having lost only ten games all fast season,

| they’ve already lost four this time around, and

already the cries have raised, ‘‘Are the Canadiens slipping?’’ These questions are at

’ best, premature. !t’s entirely possible at this

moment, that some of Montreal’s players don’t have their minds entirely on their game. Who can blame them? If Pierre Bouchard is ex-

pendable, they have to be wondering, ‘Who's next?’ Pete Mahovlich was traded for rierre Larouche last year, who’s going to go this year? Time will tell.

Though les Canadiens are having their problems this season so far, the campaign is far from over. It’s justa matter of time till they pull themselves together, and became the team that hockey fans ail over the country have grown to elther love or hate. Ten games do not a season make, and whatever anyone may say, they are still the finest hockey team in the world today. They still have Guy Lapointe, Serge Savard, and Larry Robinson playing defence. Up front they still have their big line of Guy Lafieur, Jacques © Lemaire, and Steve Shutt. For a second line, they have Yvon Cournoyer, Pierre Mondou, and Yvon Lambert. And if that’s not enough to give the opposition tits, they have a third line of Mario Tremblay, Pierre Larauche, and Bob Gainey, a line that would be the top threesome of just about any other team in the league. Add that to the fact that If any slick opposing forward should get through all this, there’s Ken Dryden, or possibly Michel ‘Bunny’ Larocque two of the finest net- minders in the game taday, and you have one awful tough team to beat. They‘Il pull out of this ‘slump’ folks, and when the Stanley Cup playoffs come around, they will be right in the thick of things, and wilt probably win the whole thing again.
