Clinton News-Record, 1983-03-02, Page 11E sod's ep on Sp Leafs inning? efore the 1993-83 National Hockey League season many people, including myself, felt that the Toronto Maple Leafs were : stined ; +: go nowhere tills season. The team ; .:d made no ana jor s,' i season acquisitions and there was really no reason why this year's team should perform any differently than it A during last year's dismal season. This season the Leafs strn :led thrpugh the first games, spending the anajority of the schedule in the Norris division tc seanent. Now with 20 games left in the schedule the Leafs are a revitalized squad and are closing in on third place in their division. Recently the Leafs put together a five game winning streak that bolstered their confidence tremendously. In that streak the Leafs turned back squads like Vancouver and Minnesota, while bashing clubs like Hartford and Pittsburg that they had previously been unable to ,r:^at. Why are the Leafs winning? No one knows for sure. The addition of Dan Dauost and Gaston Gingras cer- tainly must have something to do with it. Dauost has added spark to the entire Maple Leaf crew with the enthusiasm he creates on the ice. Dauost seems to have jarred Captain Rick Valve out of his slump as Vaive has over 40 goals now. It seems when Valve starts scoring goals the Leafs start winning. The return off good health to all-star defenceman Borje Salming has helped the Leafs considerably. The Big Swede now is able to log 40 minutes plus of ice time in a game and the Leafs really need him out there to stabilize their young defensive core. The addition of first round draft pick Gary Nyland on defense should help the Leafs in the playoffs. The 6' 4" youngster should prove to be a big help in clearing out the traffic in front of the Leaf net. Leaf goaltending has improved significantly over the season. Mike Palmateer has been up and down throughout the season but he seems to be playing a little more consistently of late. Last Wednesday in Minnesota Pahnateer was back to his old self as he blocked 27 shots in Toronto's 3-2 victory, their second road win of the season. Obtaining Rick St. Croix from the Philadelphia Flyers could have been the best move the Leafs have made all season. St. Croix proved in Philadelphia that he is capable of playing all the time. With the recent Leaf changes, don't look for Toronto to be in the Stanley Cup finals but look for them to provide some entertaining hockey for the remainder of the season. Nigro to be coaching By Rod Hilts Last Thursday night the Clinton Mustang team executive voted unanimously to hire Jim Nigro to coach the Mustangs next season. In a telephone interview from his home in Stratford, Nigro said he was happy with the decision. "I'm pleased to be coming back to Clinton. Next season I hope to have a better team and we'll be looking at a few new players," said Nigro. Nigro also said that the team will have a good core to built from with about four midgets in the lineup. Attention Formers WE PAY '20. TO '50.
