They are the ones that call you every name in the book when you make a mistake, yet they ,themselves _probably never j?layed the game, They are the ones that you just can't expect to hear anything intelligent from far the simple reason there is nothing to be found In a vacuum. Game next week, April 3: 7:00 Wings vs. Blues lost in the shuffle (again) fist Sunday nigh:t and was unavailable at press time. It has been a nagging , problem that has plagues the league all year long. When league time keeper Bev Brown is absent, the job just isn't done right. Although I have never commented on.the fans before, I think it mY turn since Some of them take delight in showing just how obnoxious they really are. It's probably a lack of solid hockey knowledge;, an inborn ignorance; and a serious mental deficiency that prompt some to a 5-4 score. For the Blues, the victory gave them a perfect 5,0, record to close out their round robin efforts,' For the Flyers it ended a (him' season and saddled them ivith their 5th straight defeat. , The Blue team looked less than impressive in defeating the , Flyers. Dale Kennedy had 2 goals for the Blues with Clive Buist, Ted Montgomery and Ralph Wood all adding single scores. Rob Sallows, Paul Hulley, Glen Malcolm and Jim Watson did the Flyer scoring. The loss earned the klyer club the dubious distinction as ' being this season's worst team. LILL. Notes: The Blues outshot the Flyers 43-21 while the Hawks our-blasted the Wings 26-25. Strangely enough, the Hawks were the only team to outshoot their opponents in all five games. With the departure of the Blues' Bill Price, the odds on the final series have dropped. ' Going out on a limb, the Wings could win the series in three games. But they will have to play better than last 'week. The Wing-I:146 contest has now officially been rated as best of the year. There were a number of questionable calls last 'week, especially near the ad of the Hawk-Wing game. One of the Wings jumped on the puck and froze it with no Hawk player near. The referee blew the play down but no delay of game penalty was called. It was an obvious penalty but inconsistency by officials has hurt all teams in the playoffs. Hopefully it will improve fel. the finals. Then again, the play itself isn't all that hot either.

(By Pave Broome) The 1976-77 season 'has now officially ended for all but two teams and a much anticipated three way tie for second place never materialized. The Blues and Wings will face off next Sunday night to begin a best of three final to determine this season's league champion. The Blues advanced to the final by virtue of a perfect 5-(1 round robin record while the Wings gained their finals berth on the basis of a 4-1 finish. Stars 6, Kings 2 The green team went into their contest with the Kings with the knqwledge that a victory ecirnhinecl with a Wing loss would get'them one more chance at the league final. The club responded by thumping the Royal squad 6-2 during last Sunday's early match. Unfortunately, for the Stars, the, victory turned out to be nothing more than some extra, ice time because the Wings edged the Hawks 2-1 in the second game of the night. The Stars easily outclassed the Kings in running up- -a 6-0 lead before the opposition COuld counter with a couple of late scores. The Stars are the best of a bad lot that will pack it away for another season. They could very well be the best balanced team in the league but a slow start at the beginning of the round robin killed their chances. And what can you say about the Kings? Nothing really. Outside of Rick Fortune, Bill Salisbury, Murray -Connelly and Kevin Broome the team lacked just abOut everything. The only distinction they earned was the fact that they were not the worst team in the six team loop - the Flyers have that title all to themselves. • Wings 2, Hawks. 1 This was the game that meant everything to three 9f.the teams. It was also billed as the contest of T, the year and that is just Omit the way it turned out. Some sloppy clearing by the Hawk defeTe allowed Art Strong to steal a lopke pUck-and score the lone goal of the first period. The 6EsT R Li- ROUND OfFENCOIVIN ToP ToP dpALTEvaig Shots Blocked If a single determining factor could be described to account for the Hawk downfall, it could be the number of shots blocked by the ' Wing defense. Fortunately, for Gary Montgomery\ he had Kevin Henderson, Art Strong and Kevin Bennett stopping close to 20 shots among the three of them. Blued 5, Flyers 4 In a game that measured -3 on the 0 to .10 iniportant scale, the Blues held on to nip the Flyers by Seniors Saturday, April 2. 10 a.m. - Mt. Carmel, vs. St. Columban.
