They all are of one accord: "We told you so." The reason for such angelic attitudes of the owners is that sportswri- ters from Nome, Alaska, to Dry Gulch, Texas, unanimously agreed the six new clubs would be "waffled' when they met the established franchises. Even the sportswriters in the expansion cities felt this would be the case, however, they were to "play down" the impending doom. All anyone had to do was to buy any of these typewriter surfs a cold ale and he would agree the six NHL infants would receive a good paddling. It certainly is amazing how a little liquid re- places our modern truth serums. In fairness to the American hockey writers, their NHL knowledge was limited, and therefore, they were agreeing with the "in crowd" of Cana- dian writers. Perhaps a few of the Yanks are now have second thoughts about the early sea- son predictions, but being in- telligent types, it is highly un- likely. It is true that most of the new clubs have made a credita- ble showing in the early games. Recently Oakland and Los Angeles defeated the Montreal Canadiens. L.A. and Minnesota clubbed the Toronto Maple Leafs in straight sets. The expansion teams have defeated the old guard both at home and away. The record book will show this to be a fact. But keep your cool! Rather than the Sports Beat doing all the talking, let's lis- Don't be fooled | ten to Andy Bathgate, an -ex- Detroit Red Wing, Toronto Ma- ple Leaf and New York Rang- er, give his viewpoints on the controversy. Bathgate is now with the Pittsburgh Penguins. "The first time around the league, the new clubs have an advantage because they are | new," he said. 'The older clubs may take them lightly, and they want to prove something to everyone. "Also, the older teams don't have their books on the new players yet. You've got to know what the other guy is most likely to do. For instance, the old teams don't know any- thing about this Bill Flett of Los Angeles, who scored only 16 goals in the minors last year, but already has about half that many in the NHL. "Eventually they'll know plenty, and I think the expan- sion clubs will win, say, only one out of five." Players from the established clubs keep quiet on the sub- ject. They realize they're ask- ing for problems both on and off the ice if they verbally slam the new teams. Manage- ment won't degrade the new entries as they would be hurt- ing their gates, and when mon- ey is involved, management al- ways offers a terse: "No com- ment." One player who hasn't been afraid to speak his mind is Boston Bruin's prize rookie, Derek Sanderson. When asked his opinion of the expansion teams he curled his top lip and snapped: 'well, they're just something else. They don't have any talent .. . they're really a laugh. We're taking them lightly right now, but just wait until the games be- come important." Tlie ST un ine Saving....with U oe & E ie ht a} aw ST NS eee
