Let‘s face it, the fans in Quebec have had just about had their fill of Lindros and it‘s very doubtful that the Nord‘s are going to dish out $3 million a year for this 18â€"yearâ€"old mightier than thou puck handl‘er who still hasn‘t proved himself. was so wrong in Calagry to get the boot from the Flames only to end up in purgatory, ah, that‘s Toronto folks with the Maple Leafs? Nevertheless, Fletcher, president and gnen! manager of the Leafs was in itchener last week mm Leafs and Quebec Nordique/Eric Li exhibiâ€" tion game coming to Kitchener Memorial Auditorium on Sept. 23. And while some of the talk was about the "all new" Leafs, the conversation somehow came back to the subject of Lindros. No junior hockey player since Wayne Gretzky has stirred up more controversy than the former Oshawa General super star. However, before you dish out the $15 price for an adult ticket to see Lindros, you had better make sure that Lindros will be playing. _ _ Don‘t expect to see Eric Lindros _ in Mapl_e‘ Leaf/Nord exhibition game You gotta feel for Cliff Fletcher. Some would ask, what did he do that Funds from lottery games are helping Ontarians enjoy sports. Every time you play your favourite lottery, you‘re helping to provide financial support for worthwhile causes such as sports and recreation activities. It‘s just one way lottery profits are all across the province. Here are some of the projects that have received lottery funding: Ontarie Lottery Corporation Société des loteries de ‘Ontario have to do with these? \\‘| [, 2 Wintario [BHHD LC ips P l D <h 7 Instant) Py 290 BA What do these, Pick ENCORE > ENCORE @ ENCORE id o maiinhrabiintt didiubaintin h dtcadsaad s 28 "I‘m not going to make any ridiculous promises about the upcoming season," Fletcher told a group last week in Kitchâ€" ener. "I‘m looking for continuity and consisâ€" tency, but no promises." okay, not that drastic, but it‘s a tough sell. His visit to Kitchener was the first time he had been out of Toronto on a official capacity. There was praise for the Ranger organization that sent players like deâ€" fenceman Al Mcinnis and forward Paul Reinhart to the Flames in past years, and he hopes they‘ll be able to send other highâ€"quality players to the Leafs.

To say last season was an off season for two of the three players is a gross understatement. Leeâ€" man‘s 29 points and Marois 30 points reflected the season the Leafs had last year. While not as bad, Damphousse dropped 21 points to 73 points. And with defenceman Al lafrate traded to to the Washington Capitals for Peter Zezel and Rob Rouse, it‘s no secret that Fletcher is looking for a défenceman who can carry the puck. Leafs should be happy with a defenceman who can clear the puck outside the blueline. And it‘s no secret that the club‘s biggest priority this season is goaltending. Eight goaltenders, led by vetern Peter Ing, will be part of the 61 Leaf hopefuls reporting to training camp Sept. 6. But make no mistake about it, when the Leafs come to Kitchener on Sept. 23, Fletcher promises that it will be a strong Leaf line up, not a dozen or so minor players in professional uniforms. One of Fletcher‘s biggest concern‘s is the lack of output from right wingers Dan Marios and Gary Leeman, as well as left winger Vince Damphousse.
