Aft0r doing so poorly at predicting the outcome "of the Russia-
.; Series I decided to try my hand again at predicting the titan-
, d go- fc r the N.H,L. If I am very far off base, 1 promise never to
predict again,.
The Boston Bruins should finish first in the N.H.L.'s Eastern
ion on' the strength of two players: Bobby Orr and Phil
Esposito, Although the Bruins have lost such noted stars as Gerry
'Cheeve ,' Derek Sanderson, Ed Westfall and Johnny McKenzie;
their depth should enable them to plug the gaps. Don Marcotte and
`-.04arnet Bailey wilt, likely see regular ' action.
The' few York Rangers and Montreal Canadians will provide a
strong challenge to the Bruins. The Broadway Blueshirts remain
° alxnest intact from last year and if they can stay free of critical in-
juries, they definitely have a chance for tope spot.
Montreal lost J.C..Tremblay to the W.H,A. but look to a healthy
Serge Savard to lead the Montreal rear -guard corps. With such
'proven all-stars s Lemaire, the Mahovlich's, Cournoyer, Lafleur
and Richard, the Habs must also be rated a strong contender.
Three teams will fight it out for . the final playoff position.

appears that whoever fills the vacated positions will capture fourth
spot.
Toronto will have to rely on Jaque§ Plante"to handle many games
in goal. Dave'Kedri and Ron Ellis must rebound from sub -par years
and younger players such as Rick Kehoe and Darryl Sittler will
have to produce goals if Leafs are to go anywhere. Has anybody
seen Johnny Bower?
Detroit came on very strong last year and almost caught the Leafs
for that final playoff spot. With their younger players having a year
under their belt, the motor city boys may surprise a few people. Such
players as Marcel Dionne; Mickey Redmond, Red Berenson and
Gary Bergman will have to have good seasons if the Wings are to
make the post -league action.
Buffalo has perhaps the two best younger players in the league in
Gil Perrault and Rick Martin. Although four defencemen fled to the
W.H.A., look for an overall improvement in Buffalo. With the.two
youngsters providing leadership; the Sabres could conceivably
squeeze into that .last playoff berth.
Vancouver Canucks possess some excellent young players as well.
Dale Tallon, Josh Guevremont, Barry Gibbs and John Wright
should emerge•as the team leaders. The Canucks' goaltending and
goal -scoring performances have been poor in the past and there are
no signs they will improve. -
The N.Y. Islanders have a monumental task ahead of them in
trying to outdraw the Rangers as well as the W.H.A.. with a team of
fringe'N.H.L. players. Clarence Campbell and his cronies have seen
to • it , that the new expa it ex b.ansion: nethin 11--the-
draft pool. Hockey can only get worse if this continues ithout
competition, this sport (or any other for that matter) wil die. The
Islanders will lock to Eddie Westfall for leadership and hope that
the spirit of being ah expansion team will spur thein on to a few vic-
tories. •
Prediction: 1. Boston Bruins, 2. New York Rangers, 3. Montreal:
Canadians, 4. Detroit Red Wings, 5. Toronto Maple Leafs, 6. Buf-
falo Sabres, 7. Vancouver, Canucks, 8. New York Islanders,
