Speaking to the Castlegar News on ‘Tuesday, two days after the Rebels lost the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League title to the Cranbrook Colts, Johnson said although the Reb- els outplayed the Colts, the team was hurt by penalties and the officiating. game,” said Johnson. “I was very unhappy with the officiating. Our boys were told not to question any calls or they'd be gone. You don't do that in play-off hockey.” As an example of the league ignoring the Rebels, Johnson said not one official from the league's west division SAFE. . .

' The Orioles will also meet both the Trail Cardinals on April 28th and the Grand Forks Slag Dusters on May 2nd. The KISBL will employ an unbal anced 20 game schedule this year which will also include a partial inter lock with the Enderby Legionnaires of the Thompson-Okanagan Senior Base- ball League. With James Donaldson Park under- going extensive field renovations this year, the Grand Forks Dusters will play their entire schedule on the road. To alleviate the heavy travel load for Grand Forks, the league approved the unbalance in schedule this year which will have the Dusters play Republic- Curlew nine times and the respective Trail teams four times each. The Cardinals and Orioles, mean while, will face each other nine times and each will play the Republic-Curley Bears four times. All games will be scheduled for seven innings with the exception of the Trail match-ups which will identify nine inning appointments. The league also approved a unique play-off format this year which will have all four teams included in post season play. However, the opening round, best-of-three semi-final series will not have the respective Trail teams matched against each other, re- gardiess of their positions in the final standings. The Trail team which finishes higher in the standings will play either Republie-Curlew or Grand Forks, whichever team finishes lower in the final standings. Because the Trail teams play each other nine times and Republic-Curlew and Grnd Forks face each other nine times in the regular season, it was felt that the initial play-off pairings should not inelude these match-ups in the opening semi-final series. The league championship showdown will be a best of five series to be played in late July.

Flames drown out Jets CALGARY (CP) — The Calgary Flames may have found their missing link in the nick of time. With rugged centre Joel Otto back in the lineup for the first time in five weeks, the Flames edged out a 4-3 vic- series and we're heading home to do our thing,” he said. ‘The win gave the Flames new life in their first-round NHL playoff series. But they still trail the best-of-seven Smythe Division semifinal 3-2, with Game 6 set for Thursday in Winnipeg. The six-foot-four, 220-pound Otto provided a phyiscal presence the Flames had been lacking at centre. He won many faceoffs and set up the winning goal by Joey Mullen early in the third period. Otto fed. ice pass to Mullen, who was cruising howard the Winnipeg goal with a defender draped all over him. The puck hit Mullen’s stick and deflected past Jets’ netminder Daniel Berthiaume. “He (Mullen) enjoyed having Joel Otto back in the lineup,” said Calgary coach Bob Johnson. “You could see what a force Joel Otto can be for us.” Otto, 25, had been sidelined since March 10 because of an injury to his right knee. Mullen's goal was just his second of the series. The Jets have laid heavy checking on the 47-goal sniper. ~ TOOK EARLY LEAD The Flames led 3-2 after one period on goals by Carey Wilson and rookie Brett Hull. Another rookie, Joe Nieu- wendyk, made it 31 early in the second. But the Jets got goals from Paul MacLean and Dale Hawerchuk to tie the score and appeared to have the momentum before Mullen's game- winner. Fredrik Olausson had scored Winnipeg's first goal. Jets’ coach Dan Maloney was upbeat after the game. “We're still leading the series and we're heading home to dour thing,” he said. Johnson said the Flames, last year’s Stanley Cup finalists, know they must win the next two games to avoid being eliminated. “We've got a long, tough road ahead of us, but this was the start,” Johnson said. “At this point, there's no such thing as the word fatigue for us.” Despite those words, the Flames appeared tired at times late in the ganie. Regular defencemen Paul Rein- hart and Jamie Macoun are injured so Johnson had to use right winger Tim the boyish netminder said. “We kep' our composure.” Oilers dump Kings EDMONTON (CP) — Speedy wingers Esa Tikkanen and Glenn Anderson continued their sparkling playoff performance Tuesday night to carry the Edmonton Oilers into the NHL’s Smythe Division final. Tikkanen, who temporarily lost his spot alongside Wayne Gretzky, and Anderson, usually a strong playoff performer, scored two goals each as the Oilers eliminated the Los Angeles Kings with a 5-4 victory. That gave Edmonton the best-of-seven semifinal series 4-1 after losing the first game at home. “T've always said, since the first year Glenn was here, that he’s one of the most valuable players on our team, especially in the playoffs,” Mark Messier said of his mate, Anderson. ‘Anderson scored on a power play in the second period for a 3-1 lead and then scored the winner in the third on aperfect centring pass from Kent Nilsson. Tikkanen, who found himself on the fourth line late in the season and in Game 1 of the playoffs, scored his fifth and sixth playoff goals. He opened the scoring on a breakaway 82 seconds into the game. After the Kings battled back for 1-1 and 3-3 period ties, Tikkanen put Edmonton ahead to stay seven minutes into the third. SPLIT DEFENCE Messier, who had a goal and three assists, split the Kings defence but goaltender Roland Melanson stopped him with a diving pokecheck. Melanson could only watch helplessly as Tikkanen scored on the rebound. Mark Hardy's breakaway goal at 15:47 made it an interesting, one-goal game through to the final buzzer. The Kings “You have to give the Kings a lot of credit,” said Edmonton coach Glen Sather. “They had a lot of chances to quit but they never did. hored 's early storm and tied the game on Jim Fox's goal in the one-minute mark. They fell behind 3-1 in the second when Messier and Duchesne. Anderson scored on Edmonton power plays. But, again, the Kings came back for a tie on goals by Dave Taylor and Steve “We battled,” said Kings coach Mike Murphy. “Sure we mistakes . . made mistakes but when you're trying and you make . I can live with those.” Murphy said the difference came down to offensive talent, especially in the third periods where Edmonton won the last four games. “When you play at a high pace, as we did, the intensity skill will surface.” In this case, starts to wear down and when it does, the players with more it wasn’t Gretzky who had almost. signlehandedly beat the Kings the last three games, but the likes of Messier, Anderson and Tikkanen. ‘The nine goals gave the teams a combined total of 52, breaking the NHL record of 50 for a five-game series. Wregget helps Toronto beat Blues for series lead ST. LOUIS (AP) — Toronto goalie Ken Wregget has been a brick wall in his last two starts and, as a result, the St. Louis Blues now have their backs to the wall in their first-round NHL playoff series. For the second straight game, Wregget surrendered just one goal, helping the Maple Leafs to a 2-1 victory over the Blues on Tuesday night. The win enabled the Leafs to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven Norris Division semifinal series, with Game 6 set for Thursday night in Toronto. “Right now it comes down to us having the killer instinct and putting them away at home,” said Wregget, who stopped 33 of 34 shots. “I don’t want to come back here.” Wregget was particuarly sharp in the opening period, when the Blues dominated play and outshot the Leafs 149. St. Louis, however, could manage only a 1-0 lead on Bernie Federko's goal at the 2:31 mark. “Tonight was -one of the most nervous games that I've had,” said Wregget. “I felt tense all day “With them scoring quickly, it calmed us down. That goal kind of relaxed me. It's funny how that works sometimes.” St. Louis coach Jacques Martin was quick to eredit Wregget. “We had some great scoring chances in the first period,” he said. “Instead of 1-0, it could easily have been 3-0 or 4-0.” After a scoreless second period, Toronto tied it on a goal by Mark Osborne at 13 seconds of the third period. Osborne's long wrist shot from the right point sailed over the right shoulder of a screened St. Louis goalie Greg Millen. “It hit a stick and went above the glass asnd I really couldn't find it,” Millen said. “There was defenceman in front of me as well, and I didn’t see it until it was just about at my shoulder.” Toronto coach John Brophy said the Leafs were lucky on Osborne's goal, and added: “We were lucky to be in the game. They could have had two or three goals, Wregget kept us in the game. He was outstanding.” Maloff brings home tournament trophies Warren and Brad Maloff of the Castlegar Judo Club brought home trophies from the Inland Empire Judo Tournament at Eastern State Univer sity in Cheney, Washington over the weekend. Brad Maloff competed in the heavy weight division of seven- and eight year-old boys. He fought four matches to place first in his division.
