The Huron Expositor, 1983-01-26, Page 9• • THE HURON EXPOSITOR, JANUARY 28, 1983 —A9 Bruins gain with good, old fashioned hard BY DAVE BROOME Joe Dick will probably sug- gest that his Bruins are now ust beginning to peak. To a point that may be true, but the Bears have found that most of their success of recent weeks comes as a reward for good old-fashioned hard work. Theyroduced their best effort oftheseason Sunday evening and the result was a 4-3 squeaker over the Ran- gers. The win was their fourth in five outings and enabled the club to clinch third spot overall. This late string of success. comes at the most important time of the year because the I.H.L. playoffs are just a couple of weeks away. It is fashionable these days to put some sort of streak together be it positive or negative. Maybe the Bears are just keeping pace with the trend.

Kennedy virtually killed off a two man advantage power play by himself with some nifty solo work in the corners. In fact, the Rangers managed just one harmless shot at Martin.

While other teams have noisily stolen the thunder the Pens have quietly gone about fashioning a splendid 11-3 mark so far this term. ith the most important pay of the I.H.L. season coming up, the Pens have peace of mind knowing they .have nothing to defend. Without any pressure this club should have a ripping good time in the playoffs.

Light years might be a more appropriate yardstick. The Orangemen had a avishing good time late last Sunday in slapping this latest iedignity on the lowly Hawks. The 16-Q 'pounding flatter- ed thei
