TERRACE BAY NEWS tial Page 13 SPORTS BEAT By Glen May Beware the Bruins Now that the opening salvos have been fired, it's about time we had a chat about the new National Hockey League. On second thought, let's forget the new and talk about the old. After all, no sense sitting around the table and attempt- ing to make any intelligent or logical remarks about the six new teams (?). We all realize these pretenders haven't got the remotest possibility of pro- viding competent opposition to the established franchises, if the established franchises per- form in the manner expected of them. The public relations offices in the new cities have been tub-thumping about the future. They are proclaiming an NHL victory and Stanley Cup in Minnesota, Los Angeles, etc., but their opportunity of seeing this fairy tale is about as dis- tant as George Wallace becom- ing the next president of the United States. Perhaps one day they will become solid con- tenders, however, it's strictly a second-class citizen role for these new teams. Anyway, I thought we were going to discuss the real NHL for a couple of minutes. Judging from the initial at- tacks it would appear to be a well-balanced setup, except for Detroit. Lack of depth leaves the Wings slightly clipped. Take away Gordie Howe, Norm Ullman and Paul Hen- derson and Detroit would have problems making it in the American Hockey League. Manager Sid Abel has_ had problems with his farm system and the draft hurt with the loss of a few of their more talented younger performers. Apparently the Red Wings have made their nest -- right at the bottom. New York Rangers will con- tinue to win when it is least 'Leafs. expected, but not enough sur- prises. They're a hardy group with sufficient brawn, how- ever, lack of talent makes them a fifth place outfit. The most glaring weakness with the Rangers is defense. Back of the blueline they're sub-par, even with a superla- tive effort from Harry Howell. Boston Bruins will be the team to watch. They'll not only win their share, they'll also knock the marrow out of a few opponents. Shrewd trades and Bobby Orr moves them into the final playoff spot. Another plus for the Bruins will be their ability to score goals this year, a factor which has sent many of their long- suffering fans away for a rest at the Home for the Bewil- dered. Chicago Black Hawks can't expect another extraordinary year from Dennis- DeJordy. Last season he had the steady- ing influence of Glenn Hal. Dave Dryden won't supply the same medicine. Montreal Canadiens will lead all teams in' offense and they won't be forced to suffer through another term of inju- ries, such as during the last | campaign. Defense could prove to be a problem at times al- though strong back-checking tends to eliminate much of the - pressure. Canadiens' powerful! _ skating game is also a credit for them as this alone wins them games. Undoubtedly the top team has to be the Toronto Maple Too much depth, bal- ance and scoring power for any team to match. over the 74 games. Thanks for dropping by for the chat. Hope I'll see you next week and maybe we can dis- cuss something else. Mrs. Marg. Lundberg has agreed to act as corres- pondent for Terrace Bay.
