Times Advocate, 1993-05-19, Page 18Page 18 Times Adv()cate May 19 1993 POR T DeBruyn nets two in Fury's firstvictory EXETER - It sure didn't take the Fury long to win their first soccer game. Exeter's newest senior team edged visiting Delhi Royals 2-1 Sunday afternoon at the Canner's Field to pick up their first Western Ontario Soccer League second di- vision west win after just two starts. Late in the first half, Henri De- Bruyn scored on a free kick and it was nearly 2-0 but the Delhi goalie came up with a save a few mo- ments later. "We had our chances but they were coming on," said Fury coach Soccer roundup Martin DeBruyn. "They (Delhi) won their fust game 3-0." The score remained a 1-0 lead for the hosts until there was about 15 minutes left in. the game when Del- hi scored on a comer kick which some how got past a blocked Exet- er goalie Tim McAllister. But with about five minutes left, Henri DeBruyn got his second to give the Fury their first ever win. The entire game saw a lot of bumping and Martin DeBruyn said youth may have something to do by Don Cherry RE -ALIGNMENT AND PLAY-OFF FORMAT Well, Commissioner GARY BE1TMAN has made his first ma- jor move in the NHL and I must admit that he did a pretty good job. I know some of the purists in the league are not too happy with the changing of the conference and division names because of the great names of CAMPBELL, NORRIS, SMYTHE, PATRICK and the BOSTON .BRUIN owner Mr. Adams are going to be gone. But I have to admit that sometimes I even got confused on who was in the CAMPBELL CONFERENCE and the PRINCE OF WALES CONFERENCE and what teams were in what division. I know it's a Basketball theory with the NORTH-EAST and WEST etc., but you can readily know what teams are in what division. Gary's not going to win them all. TORONTO got a little upset because they wanted to be .in the ADAMS (excuse me, the North- East) Division. They wanted to play MONTREAL because of the great rive that dates back -to the 30s. Cline to think of it, how does TORONTO fit into the WESTERN confexence when PITTS- BURGH is further west than TORONTO, and the PENS are in the' EASTERN CONFERENCE? Strange isn't it? ME THINKS that' CLIFF FLETCHER gave a little too easy on this one. I feel a promise, (maybe that's too strong a word) lets say hint that if HARTFORD folds their tent and goes to MILWAUKEE, the LEAFS will be in the ADAMS... I mean the North-East. (Sorry, old I habits are hard to break). Let's face it, G.B. couldn't satisfy everybody, but he came close. Commissioner G.B. came up with another idea that I like. To make a long story short, in each conference, 8 teams will make the playoffs. The 2 division champs will automatically be placed 1 andj 2 and the next 6 teams will be ranked by points. Then in the 1st round, the 2.division champs will play the 7th and 8th placed teams and the team with the next highest point totals will be 3rd and they ,'ill play •the team with the 6tJ1 highest went; t,Wol. • Tiitr t&th place team will play the 5thptace team. Got it? This is the way it should be. Remember the year that the LEAFS made the playoffs with 57 points in the Norris while that teams with 70 points in the Patrick Division missed the playoffs? Now it has gone back to the old system, like it was when I coached with one notible difference When I coached was, 1 play 16, 2 played 15 and so on. That was even better. Last year the NEW YORK RANG- ERS got the biggest shaft of all. They worked hard all last year to finish first ,overall in the NHL and what was their reward? Not much! They put out, every game all year and in the 1st round of playoffs, instead of facing the weakest team, they met the tough NEW JERSEY DEVILS and go through a seven game war. They just got by the fust round and who's waiting for them; the STAN- LEY CUP CHAMPION PITTSBURGH PENQUINS. They had another war with MARIO and the boys and they're gone after the second round. So much for hard work in the old playoff format. I know that there will be complaints about the realignment. DETROIT and TORONTO are the only two teams who are in the eastern time zone. I even got confused on who was in the CAMPBELL CONFERENCE and the PRINCE OF WALES CONFER- ENCE and what teams were in what division. I know it's a Basketball theory with the NORTH-EAST and WEST etc., but you can readily know what teams are in what division. HERE'S HOW THEY NOW STACK UP!

"We're a little young and were getting knocked around. They're (Delhi) a little more physical." It is early in the season and he added the team still has a way to go as far as conditioning is concerned. "'Ilse biggest problem is they're not in shape. We're practicing twice a week to whip them into shape." Exeter will try and make it two in a row when they travel to St. George's for a 6 p.m. start on Sun - &y.

Generals get awards GRAND BEND - The Exeter RSD Midget Generals wrapped up their season with a barbecue and awards day Sunday at coach Scett Bogart's residence. Mark Brintnell was selected by the !roaches as the winner of the Most Valuable Player award for both his leadership in the dressing room and hard work on the ice. Steve Farquhar received the "Three Star Award" for being the most consistent player leading the team in points throughout the sea- son. Derek Beckett was named most improved player; Ian Jean most sportsmanlike and Derek Campbell was the MVP for the playoff sea- son. Missing several starters, includ- ing Charlie Wise, Peter Hakvoort and Shawn Rotteau, Exeter, play- ing with no subs, tried to hang on for the tie. "It was a comer kick and it was a bit of a scramble," described Cen- tennials' coach Dick Lord of the winning goal. "It didn't even go to the back of the net." The game was a very long one for both teams as they played sev- eral minutes past the regulation 45 minutes in both halfs. Naim's win- ning goal might have come past of- ficial time. "It appeared as though the fust half ran about 50 minutes and we felt it was the same in the second," said Lord. Still looking for their fust victo- ry, the Centennials will,hostApollo on Sunday at !3 �dg,;at Apt t 's Field.
