PAGE 6 TERRACE BAY NEWS APRIL 25,1973 Sports Slants - cont'd from page 4 any good. He got the axe, like four previous Wing coaches did since Bishop came to the team. It should be pointed out that the Red Wings of I972-73 racked up 86 points in the stand- ings. Do you realize that that would have ranked them second in the west division stand- ings. And I've seen (prior to expansion, mind you) a team finished first or second with just that many points. Wilson held a press conference last week, a few days after getting the boot. He reveal- ed that Bishop and Harkness were forever giv- ing him instructions about how to coach the team - he (Wilson) would even get phone calls in the dressing room between periods from Hark- ness, telling him to bench this or that play- er, or using a certain other player more often. "They (Harkness and Bishop) also wanted me to spot-play Alex Delvecchio, who has been my most consistent player over the two years I had the club," said Wilson. "They said he was old and didn't backcheck and was a bad captain I'll say this about Alex, he never missed a shift while I was coach and he always gave the game everything he had, despite his 41 years." I mentioned that Gordie Howe might be pro- mpted to leave the team after his Red Wing up- rising. Don't be surprised to see Alex Del- vecchio announce his retirement soon. And you can be sure Fats won't care about lining up a front office job with the team he has played for for 2I or 22 years. No doubt about it, the Detroit Red Wings are the laughing stock of the NHL, and as long as they have numbskulls like Harkness and Bishop to run the show, they'll remain that way. I poor pity their next coach! NODC LOAN TO RENOVATE EVEREST HOTEL IN MARATHON ST. MARTIN'S SCHOOL .
