MAIN ST. 235-0505 EXETER Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER The Exeter Centennials picked up a 2-1 victory over Taxandria Sunday, on the basis of some tricky coaching by Tony Hem- mings and strong play from John Rasenburg and Joe Laurie. Hemmings, who has taken over the reins of the Centennials, is from Nairm Since he plays on another in the London con- ference, the same conference as the Centennials, he is ineligible for play with them according to FIFA roles. He can, however, coach, Sunday he was juggling lines and players to keep the Taxan- dria club off balance and neutralize their attack, The Centennials started out short when they had only 10 players show up at the outset of the game. John Muller was the eleventh player to arrive and he went in in the first half to open the scoring for the Centennials, Towards the end of the half, Muller twisted his knee and did not return to action for the rest of the game. PEE WEE WINNERS — Winners of various awards on the pee wee team in Grand Bend hockey were Nick Vanden Berk, left, for most valuable player, Guy Dietz, top scorer and John Vanleeuewen, most improved player, right. With them is coach Kirk Smith. T-A photo, New coach leads Centennials to victory by Fred Youngs. It's been a long haul. The seemingly endless season end- ed Sunday night; without the expected climax, rather, just dribbling over the end to finish with a dull thud as the Mon- treal Canadiens showed that the Philadelphia Flyers could play with them for 50 minutes, but those last ten proved too many for the defending champions. Actually, the lopsided 4-0 series score is not indicative of the play, which remained for the most part balanced and even throughout the finals, until the waning minutes of the third period when Philadelphia couldn't seem to muster the legs needed to tie the game up, being hemmed in and forechecked to death. There are two other important points that came from the series; Philadelphia can indeed play hockey, without their reputed brawling and live wire shenanigans and the Philadelphia defence, long felt to be impenetrable, is now suspect, having allowed more than its allotment of two on one situations. I don't know whether I should be surprised at Mon- treal's sweep. They made a prediction of mine come true, but on the other hand, many expected it to go seven games. I don't think it's surprise, merely relief after a long season that I have examined more critically and closely from my peripheral position than any other I can remember. Star- ting in mid-November, hockey has dominated the subjects of this column. With it all over, it may well do to look back and take a second viewing of the incidents that made up this season. Call it "Notes on a Long Season." + + + + The Long Season saw three essential players out of ac- tion for long periods of time, two on one team. Rick MacLeish and Bernie Parent were gone from the Flyers and their protracted absences had to hurt the Flyers. Wayne Stephenson's admirable job of netminding filled the Parent void but no one really stepped into MacLeish's shoes. One big question that has yet to be asked is how much difference MacLeish would have made in the finals. Since three of the four games were decided by one goal, it is conceivable that MacLeish could have at least sent one or two into overtime. The other missing factor was, of course, Bobby Orr, out for the better portion of the season with his fifth knee opera- tion. At the outset of his contractual difficulties, the Bruins really seemed to want to keep Orr around. Now, they seem less likely to retain his services, which will go for an astronomical price. They fared well this past season without him, and probably question the necessity of over- burdening their payroll with Orr's questionable playing longevity. + + + + The two playoff surprises had to be the Leafs and the Bruins. The Leafs for their brave, if overachieving standoff against the Flyers who were tired after their series with the Leafs. The Leafs were very much part of Montreal's win, wearing down the Flyers. On the other hand, the Bruins turned into non-sequiturs for their series, winning the opener before dropping the next four straight. Actually, the score in the fifth game was the Flyers one, the Bruins one, Reggie Leach five. + + + + The record book became desanctified this year, as' everyone and their uncle set new records. Leach, 19 playoff goals, 80 overall, Leach and Sittler with five goals in one playoff game; Sittler with 10 points in a single outing; Leach, Barber and Clarke with 141 goals on a single line; Leach with 61 goals, the most ever for a right winger; on and on. Soon the record books will be filled with two or three names: Sittler, Leach and Lafleur who finally found his footing this year. + + + + Phil Esposito disappeared into obscurity. Obscurity for him anyway, as the Espo, king of Boston, went to the New York Rangers and fell in with them and their lackluster ways. Indeed, the Bruins came out on top of that trade, taking Park and Ratelle, who helped them to the top, and sloughing off Esposito who the Rangers probably jumped at, Now they probably wonder why. The Rangers were trading everyone at the outset of the season, then they settled down, having completely rid themselves of an unspectacular but reliable goaltending system, one of the top three or four defencemen, an ex- perienced centerman and a couple of wingers. They wound up out of the playoffs and on the short end of every trade. ++++ Violence in hockey was the favorite topic, of me, of Jim Beckett, of all the other sportswriters and editorialists in Canada and the rest of the people who watched. It may be that Roy McMurtry's botched investigations of the Toronto-Philadelphia series could stem the flow, although it is unlikely. Violence will continue to play a part in the sport as long as the owners of the teams know that it will sell. Only when there is enough public protest; not from me, not from other writers, but from the public, will there be a stop to it all. Face it, the editorialists and government arms do not pay for enough tickets to pay a stick boy at the inflated salaries offered today. Fighting may well be a part of the game, as Fred Shero and his pseudo-psychology rationalizations proclaim, but perpetual fighting and the Dave Schultzes of the NHL are not. They are an aberration on a fine game and their attitude of monumental barbarism has to be stopped before the followers of hockey give up and pass on to another sport. The nice thing about the Habs-Flyers series was the lack of the fights that plagued the Leafs-Flyers series, It showed that Philadelphia is a good hockey club, and sur- prisingly, their uninhibited gladiators, like Schultz, did manage to play some good hockey. On the other hand, Schultz was always ready for a fight and he might have found a few had the Canadiens not realized the tactics he likes to employ, He knows he is no Peter Mahovolich or Guy Lapointe and the Flyers without Schultz for five minutes are the same, The Habs, no matter how brilliant a team, have a major hole to fill when Lapointe takes a five minute sojourn, + + + + In the end, all one can say is that it was the Montreal Canadiens year. They are quite possibly the greatest team ever assembled, many experienced experts think so anyway, and their Stanley Cup win is both deserved and worked for. They highlighted the middle of the season with their New Year's game against the Russians and their sweep of the playoffs was a fine capping to a season that had more downs than ups, Glen Kadechuk and W.C. Chalmers took the low gross and low net championships in the Massey-Ferguson Golf Tour- nament held at Ironwood golf course in Exeter Saturday, but the most excitement was generated by Ron Fleuelling who got a hole in one to win himself a Massey Ferguson Number 8 tractor, The tournament, sponsored by Massey-Ferguson and Sherwood Exeter Limited, offered the prize to anyone shootng a hole in one. It is a standard prize offered by Massey-Ferguson at all their tournaments. Fleuelling, from Ingersoll, picked up his hole in one on the fourth hole of his second nine. Using a 3-iron, he drove the ball 150 yards. Fleuelling finished well out of the standings, shooting a 59 on his first nine and 55 on the second. The gross scores Kadechuk led with an 80, followed by Richard Schilbe with 83, John Hayter with 84, and Barry Southcott in fourth with an 86. Chalmers shot a 73 to take low net, followed by Jim Guenther with 73 for second and Ray LaCrouse with a 74 and Bob Nadon BILL MENNEN won the special award as the most sportsman like player in Grand Bend hockey for the past season, The trophy is donated by the Grand Bend branch of the OPP.
