See story for further details on the CHSS team. (Rod Hil photos) epo.rt on Sports ByRod its R N -The-goalies-were-HOT Everyone knows that when a goaltender is hot during the National Hockey League (NHL),playoffs anything can happen. In the opening round of the playoffs last week, Mike . Luit of the St. Louis Blues and Montreal's Steve . Penney were prime: examples. of how goaltending can turn a series around. Last week Rod Report on Sports went 6-2 in opening round playoff predictions. Divisional final predictions will be made,at the end of this column.... - ...• _ They were throwin' pennies! Steve Penney the unknown goaltepdey called up front the Nova Scotia Voyageurs is quickly making a name for himself in the Montreal' Canadiens net. I'm sure Boston Bruins' fans have a few adjectives to describe Penney but few .of them are. printable. Ironically, in a fit of rage, the Bruins' supporters began throwing pennies at young Penney in game two at Boston. Following Saturday night's 5 -0 -Tasting and three games to nothing sweep of the lunch -bucket Bruins, most of the Canadiens' players were probably walking around on cloud nine. They deserved to be in utopia. Montreal shut clown every aspect of Boston's garde. They were one step ahead of the Bruins in the corners checked them like Boston had checked the rest of the league all season. In my opinion the series was won in the opening game. Remember Rick Middleton's breakaway early in the first period? He raced in alone, and drilled the shot,over the net and into the crowd. Penney got a break. After that point Penney made his own breaks and Boston played frustrated for the remainder ...of the.. series... Had Middleton scored -on that breakaway, what would that have done for the Bruins and for Penney's confidence? We'll never know. Liut leads Blues. When goaltender Mike Luit is hot, nine times out of ten, the St. Louis Blues will win. Liut was sizzling in the Blues' net as SL Louis eliminated Detroit from the playoffs, winning the series three games to one, Luit, perhaps one of the most underrated goalies since being blown out by the Russians a few years ago, faced eighty shots in last two games of the series and only allowed five goals. The 6' 2" goaltender was definitely a factor in the series. The St. Louis win did not come easily. Two • of the games went into overtime, with last Saturday's being decided in double overtime. ' To all . the people who picked Detroit over St. - Louis (namely Jim Fitzgerald), I say better luck next time, maybe Detroit can do ix next.fear! _: Nords trim Sabres As predicted the Quebec Nordiques,' registered a big upset by blanking the Buffalo Sabres three games to nothing. The Quebec Nordiques pulled a major upset and eliminated the Sabres, a team many thought would be the dark horse to win the Stanley Cup. Ironically, the Nordiques beat the Sabres with three ex -Buffalo players in the line-up. Tony McKegney, Andre Savard and Jean - Francois were players Scotty Bowman felt didn't. fit into Buffalo's plans. They definitely fit into the Nordiques' plans and now Buffalo is watching from the sidelines. Islanders over Rangers It took an overtime goal by Ken Morrow before the defending Stanley Cup New York Islanders coup defeat the New York Rangers in the fifth and deciding game. This may just be the hurdle the Islanders had to get over... .._. — - Washington blanks Flyers The excellent defense of the Captials kept the Flyers frustrated as they only scored five goals in the three game series. For the first time in their 10 -year history, the 'Captials „moved . past the first round. The days when Washington was laughed at are over. Minnesota stops Chicago For the first time in three years, Chicago failed to eliminate Minnesota. This year, ,,,However, circumstances were different. Chicago isn't the team of old. I was surprised they put up such a • battle. I expected a three game sweep by the Stars. Flames beat Canucks Even without Kent Nilsson the Flames proved they "can score goals. In my. view both teams in this series were poor. Round 2 predictions Norris Division Best of seven series St. Louis at Minnesota • Most people expected St. Louis to be on the golf course by this time. Based on their regular season record, Minnesota is a team that. deserves to be here, although their performance against Chicago wasn't up -to par. If St: Louis goaltender Mike Liut can ` keep up his heroics in the nets this series cuold be a dandy. Minnesota has more depth and player for player have more talent than . St. Louis. Series winner - Minnesota Smythe Division Calgary at Edmonton Edmonton's cake walk to the Stanley Cup couldn't be more evident than with this match -up. Calgary may. show shades of making this a good series but look for this series to be over in a maximum of five games. ,; . Series winner - Oilers Patrick Division Washington at New York This series should feature some of the best playoff hockey. Both teams are solid defensively and goaltending will decide it. Series winner- Islanders Adams'Division Montreal at Quebec The battle of the Province of Quebec should be nothing short of war. Quebec should defeat Montreal. Since Buffalo and Montreal's style are similar, I see no reason why Quebec cannot eliminate them based on how they shutdown the Sabres. Home ice will be a visible advantage in this series.
