Show The DESERET SAMPLER, Fri., May 1, 1970 Sportscape Opponents and Critics Clobbered by Bruins For a team that has lieen so successful, the Boston Bruins have taken a lot of criticism this year. It has come from all angles and covered all subjects; from poor to rotten fans to playing dirty hockey. Maligned for piling up their points against the West and at home the Bruins proceeded to take three of their five road games to the Eastern playoffs. They won the Ranger series in New York, then went to Chicago and took two from the Hawks. When they are ready the Bruins will lieat any team on any ice, but it is kind of tough to put the puck in the net in places like New York where Bob Orr was hit with an egg and a heavy padlock just missed Derek Sanderson's head. When fans pull stunts like that, I don't see how the Boston fans can lie considered as the league animals as was intimated by many during the season. The Bruins have been regarded primarily as a team that lives and dies by offense, so much so in fact, that their defense has been ridiculed as virtually nonexistent. However, they must be doing something right as they won the Ranger series despite the fact that they were outshot in five of the six games. Somebody had to be keeping these shots out of the net and that man was Gerry Clieevers, who easily outsliown Ed Ciacomin, the Rangers' all-stgoalkeeper. Cheevers played five games of the series and was lieaten only in Came 3 when the Rangers had 43 shots on goal. The Bruins best games of the series were the first and the last. Opening night they held the Rangers to 2 goals in 38 shots while they notched 8 counters with only 34 shots. In picking up the clinching win the Bs were held to only 26 shots, but they made them count for 4 goals while holding the New Yorkers to just one score in 34 shots. The offense was there without a doubt as the Bruins counted 23 goals and averaged a tally for every 7 shots they took. The defense though, held the Rangers to a goal shots on net. Cheevers was brilfor each 13 and one-ha- lf liant in the nets as he ended the series with a 2.4 goals against average, while his more highly touted rival in the Ranger net was relieved in games 1 and 5 and didn't play at all in game 2. The Bostonians got even tougher when they took on the Hawks in the Eastern finals. Here was the team that had taken first place away from the Bs on the last night of the season and had the Vezina Trophy winner, Tony Esposito, protecting their goal. In the first game the Bruins put on a fine display of shooting and defense to walk away with a 6-- 3 win on Chicago ice. They riddled Esposito for 6 goals on only 30 shots, while die Hawks had to fire 35 times for their 3 goals. Again Cheevers outplayed a more highly regarded rival. In the second game he turned aside all Hawk efforts with the exception of a Bill White rebound shot and the Bs win 1 to take an insurmountable advantage. They were heading back to the friendly confines of Boston Garden, where they lost only 3 of 38 regular season games, with a 2--0 advantage in games. The third game was an easy 5-- 2 win for the Bruins, but in game 4 the Hawks finally woke up. After giving up two first period goals, they stormed luck to take a 2 lead. When there is no tomorrow a team seems to play just that ' much harder and the Hawks scored again 'after a' Bruin goal to take a 4-- 3 lead in the last half of the third period. Esposito was living up to his rave notices in the Hawk net as he turned aside the Bruins for two minutes when they goal-tendi- I'll Drink To That!

Playing aggressively around the net. blocking well, serving well, and setting up their spikes beautifully, Ft. Lewis completely dominated the match. They took it in two games, 15-- 2 and 15-Dugway couldn't seem to shake off the effects of the Ft. Lewis blitzing and lost their next match to the Presidio in straight games. Ft. Irwin was next and, flashing a fine volleyball player in tournament MVP Tom Harp, they also sent Dugway to defeat in straight games. The relatively inexperienced Dugway team was having trouble mostly in the areas of receiving the serve and setting up spikes. The brand of volleyball played in the tournament was far superior to the style played in the intramural league here. Still Dugway was learning and won their first game against Ft.

Keith Magnuson no doubt will be a great one too. But those Bostonians were not to lie denied. These guys have been dreaming of lieing the Stanley Cup winners since they were kids. They are a young aggressive lot who play to win. Bobby Orr is the leader of the pack.
