Imagine 7 Six stores and not one of them had what I wanted!" The Lucan-Ilderion Combines, showing the effects of their two-week layoff, took two per- iods to get rolling in the first game of their series with Clin- ton, but rattled in seven mark- ers in the final stanza to emerge with a 10.1 margin, The Thunderbolts, represent- ing the homebrew teams in the Big Eight final, carried their share of the play through- out the first two periods and only some spectacular net.mind- ing by Keith Scarborough kept them off the scoresheet, However, with Tom Collings leading the way in the final 20 minutes. the Combines hem- med the Clinton crew into their end continually to post their decisive margin. Collings was the scoring star as he dented the twine five times for one of his best nights of the season. The other goals were split evenly between Max O'Neil,'Stu O'Neil, Dusty Al- dis, Ken Loft and Steve Storey. Substitute goalie The Clinton crew arrived at the game and found their regular goalie Dennis Amacher had failed to show up, so de- fenseman Mark Trudell strap- ped on the pads and played the first half of the game before John DeFraneisco a r r iv e d from Clinton. Trudell played a steady game in the nets and allowed only three goals as he was called on to make 10 saves, one of them a clearteut breakaway by Stu O'Neil.

Because we are a Red Wing fan, we would prefer that the circumstances behind their showing this year bad been noted by someone else, but un- fortunately it appears that none of our writing cohorts spotted it and naturally manager Jack Adams wouldn't make mention of it because he is such a quiet, unassuming chap and prefers to have his deeds go unheralded. At any rate, we have taken it on ourselves to point out the facts because we feel the Wings deserve considerable commendation. As our readers will recall, the NHL moguls have always been sharp enough to realize that the success of their league has depended upon a good balance between the six participating teams and they have done considerable to ensure that this balance has been maintained as much as possible and the Wings have been the most prominent in this respect. When the Chicago Black Hawks were wal- lowing around in the bottom of the league for so many years, all the teams got together and came up with a plan to help them in order to keep the Chicago crew going. The teams set up a draft whereby the Hawks were able to choose several good players from the other clubs and this has paid off handsomely as they are now one of the stronger teams in the league, However, the Rangers started to skid badly for the past few seasons and failed to make the playoffs. Unfortunately, sonic teams in the league appear to have forgotten about maintaining the balance and so the Wings had to take this on themselves, Throughout most of the past season they were contented to sit in fifth spot as the Rangers were battling the leaders, because Adams and his cohorts realized that if this balance and interest in the league was to be maintained, the Rangers had to make the playoffs. The New Yorkers appeared to be in fairly solidly for the first half of the season, but then they faltered and started to slip badly. This then put even more pressure on the Wings as they had to start losing even more to keep behind the Rangers. Naturally, the Wings had to make it look good and they jockeyed back and forth between fourth and fifth place with the Rangers. However, when it came down, to the last few games they were forced into dropping crucial tests and even. had to suffer the humiliation of being beaten by Boston right on their home ice. But, this is the price of glory, and it makes our heart throb to think that our favorites are made of such good stuff. We trust that at least one of our readers is stupid enough to fall for our reasoning and will drop into our office and purchase two Wing pen- nants, an autographed picture and one of Gordie Howe's old skate laces because we're through with them. This material is very reasonably priced and the purchaser will have an added bonus in that at the end of each season when the Wings finish out of the playoffs the clerk of Grand Bend will very kindly send you a sympathy card to help ease the pain. A RATHER AWKWARD POSITION Due to the fact that this column has to be written by the weekend, we find ourselves in a bit of a tough spot as far as predicting the out- come of the Stanley Cup playoffs at this late date. We could make our choice now and by the time the paper hits the street, our team could be sitting on the sidelines and we would look a bit foolish, However, after picking Detroit we really .can't look any worse than we do, so we will go away out on a limb and say that Chicago will again win the silverware when they whip Toronto in the finals. The Hawks have lost a pair of toughies to date and we don't think they will get an inferiority complex and could easily rally to oust the. Can- adiens, On the same hand, the Rangers have also lost a pair of close ones, but we don't think they can stop the Leafs especially in Maple Leaf Gardens and the Toronto team gets the extra game, However, anything can happen in the battle for the big cash as last year's results prove, and we wouldn't advise anyone to go out and invest their life savings on any of the squads, BATT'N AROUND-The attendance at the Hensall arena for the junior series with Strathroy is certainly the most noteworthy thing that has happened on the local scene for a moon or two. just when most area officials had come to the conclusion that hockey was on its last legs, the fans in the Hensall-Zurich area proved that they will still come out to watch a winning team eom. prised of 'local talent , With the addition of Strathroy's two best players, the Combines could quite easily go all the way and we think this might be the shot in the arm that area hockey needs , Hockey fans should also be reminded that the Combines down Lucan-lidertee way are still going strong and they have one of the best teams ever assembled as far as W6 are concerned, New that they have copped the Big tight title they expect to travel north in the OHA "B" semi-finals, Who knows, we may even have two Ontario champions an the district this year! The Clin t o n Thunderbolts conceded their best-of-five se- ries to the Lucan-liderton Com- bines after suffering two one- sided losses this week and the Combines will now enter the ()FIA inter.nediate "B" semi- finals. The powerful Combines, who have won 29 of the 30 games they have played received word this week they will tackle the winners of the Port Dover- Aylmer series rather than the northern winners. Manager Harry Wraith said the OHA had apparently tossed the northern teams out because they failed to post ..their 5100.00 performance bonds and had not sent the OHA their share of the play off games. Wraith said the Combines would start their next round either early next week or per- haps even on Sunday. The two teams in the Southwestern OHA are now tied 2-2 in their best-of-seven finals with the fifth game in Port Dover, Wed- nesday and the sixth in. Ayl- mer, Friday. The series will he wrapped up in Port Dover Sunday after- noon if it goes the limit, but Wraith said there was a chance the Combines would play on Sunday if the Sailors ousted the Aylmer squad before that time. Both the southern teams ap- pear to have much the same lineup they had when Exeter and Lucan-Ilderton played in their grouping last year, when the Combines finished in third place. They were pitted against Delhi in the semi-final at that time and blew a three-game lead to lose the series. 4-3, while Aylmer who finished sec- ond were ousted by Port Dover's fifth place team.

The Combines opened the game in their flashy passing style and potted two goals in the first four minutes and gave the partisan Hensel( - Zurich crowd an indication of how the game was going to go.
