Bruins must work harder

By The Canadian Presa

Finishing among the top
eight teams would be nice
but head coach Gerry Chee-
vers of Boston Bruins knows
more than that is required to
ensuro National Hockey
League playoff success,

“T guess finishing elghth is
important,” Cheevers
Friday night after tho Brulns
mowed down Washington
Capitals 7-1 to move within
two points of eighth-place

_ Minnesota NOrth Stars in
over-all standings. “But no
team wins in quarter-finals or
beyond untess it wins on the?

road.

“So, it probably doesn’t
make any difference where
we finish.”

Much to Cheever's satis-
faction, the victory did come

. on the road, in the Caps’
Landover, Md., rink. '

‘The top eight teams after

the schedule's conclusiontin

three weeka get the extra -

home game in the best-of-'

five, first round of playoffs. '

CASTLEGAR NEWS, March 15, 1983

Boston already has clinched a
playoff spot, while the Capl-
tals are struggling for a
post-season berth for the
first time in their seven-year
history. ‘.

In other games, Vancouver
Canucks, defeated Chicago
Black Hawks 6-3 and Buffalo
Sabres downed Winnlpeg
Jets 65-2,
EOSTON HAS IMPROVED

Cheevers likely would be
taking a different approach
had the Bruins not gotten off
to a slow start this season,
Since Jan. 1, however,
they've posted a 19-9-6 won-
loat-tled record.

ZThe two teams engaged
in what Cheevors decribed a8
Stanley Cup hockey — fea-
turing hard hitting and furl-
ous skating —until a panel of
plexiglass near¢the Wash-
ington goal was knocked
loose at 8:55 of the first

period.:

Andrews aad. “He's the only

“He's played in 25 games,
so his name's got to go on it,

That would require Sevig-
