LATE FLASH - The latest rumour is the possibili-
ty of Mark The Bird- Fydrich of the Detriot Tigers
attending the Dinner
Same question
A week ago we asked how long the resurgence of
the Toronto Maple Leafs under new coach Mike
Nykoluk would last.
As this is being written Thursday afternoon. our
memones of Wednesday night's game between the
Leafs and the Edmonton Oilers is qwte fresh in our
memory.
In Wednesday's Globe and Mail Nvkoluk said he
knew how to keep a super star under control. Last year
with Nykoluk as assistant coach with the New York
Rangers. Gretsky failed to score any goals and picked
up only two assists in games against the Ranger.
Well. the new coach may have used tne same
methods hi Toronto. but. he sure didn't get the same
results Gretzkv fired -two goals. one on a neat
breakaway and added an assist.
The Leafs with a 3-1 lead after 40•minutes of play
allowed the Oilers to score six goals in the third period
on only seven shots.
Now before anyone condemrugoahe Jim Ruther-
ford.rat would not be fair The Leafs qwt skating and

thrid on had a Half dozen goals
