LOSERS As_ ifthe Calgary Flames and fans haven’t had enough, the jokesters\ have made the team the focus of some cruel quips. The latest — How many Calgary Flames does it take to change a tire? Answer — One, unless it’s a blowout, then the xhole team is there. No doubt that one originated in Edmonton. up in the air By ED MILLS Staff Writer The meeting was held, the turnout was small, and the fate of the Castlegar Rebels still. remains in doubt. Seven people showed up at the Community Complex Thursday night offering their-support-in-an effort to sway the team’s executive which is considering folding the Junior B hockey club for a Year. And while the turnout wasn’t exac- tly a rousing success, at least one per- son came away from the meeting with the feeling that the team will be around when the puck is dropped to open another Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season in Sep- tember. “I think they'll (the executive) be icing a team next year. I’m sure,’ said Ted Healey of Nelson. Both Healey and his wife Barb, whose son Dave played for the Rebels executive’s call to show support for the Rebels or else the team would fold. Healey says it_would bea ‘‘big mistake”’ if the Rebels took a year off because one year could turn into two then three, until it becomes unfeasible to start from scratch again. “*It’s not that easy to take a year off and then step back into the league,”’ Said Healey. ‘You lose your players. and you lose whatever you had built as a hockéy team. Then in that year you're trying to raise funds selling a product you don’t have.** The executive tentatively approved a motion to not ice a team next season at the team’s annual general meeting April 10 at which only six people showed up. A date for a second meeting was set to give those who may have wanted to help a second chance to get involved. teservation in the back of my mind.** Rilcof said he doesn't want to make an emotional decision when perhaps a sober business-like one is what's called for. “Theré are decisions you make with the head and there are decisions you make: with the heart... I don’t ‘want to rain on anybody’s parade and I have as much optimism as anybody but. . . I have to try and find some kind of middle ground.” Rilcof said others expressed the same concerns as Healey at the meeting which he termed productive.”” Still, he’s not tipping his hand on what's he’s going to say when the { ll executive meets to make the final decision on the team’s fate May 8. “‘I_have a feeling they (the other of the will want But while Healey is about the Rebels’ future, the man who plays an integral role in what will happen, Rebels President Russ Rilcof, is wavering. Rilcof says it was never a matter of numbers so the small turnout at the meeting wasn't importent. The main issue, he says, is whether there’s people willing to do the jobs that-need—to—be done so-that-the executive can ice a quality hockey team. “As a result of this meeting I do know that— there's a—nucleus—{of people) out there who are really keen on (icing a team) but I still have this to go with the heart,”” he said. The Rebels missed the KIJHL playoffs last season for the second Straight year and were averaging ap- proximately 150 fans per game.

Boston’s Cam Neely had sent the game into overtime with his second goal of the game and sixth of the playoffs on a power play with 1:49 left-in regulation time, erasing Mon- treal’s fourth one-goal lead of the Galley scored. 25 seconds after Montreal, which had the NHL’s wor- st power play during the regular season, failed to connect for the four- th time in as many chances: Montreal got an overtime man-advantage when John Carter was called for high- sticking Stephane Richer. The Canadiens got three shots at Andy Moog but couldn't beat him. Galley started the winning play when he kept the puck in the Mon- treal Zone at the right point and passed to Craig Janney behind the goal line. Galley broke for the net and Janney, who had four assists, gave a return pass for a five-footer that beat Patrick Roy for his second playoff goal. In the opening round, Boston lost its only overtime game to Hartford, while Montreal won its overtime con- test against Buffalo. Boston’s lifetime overtime record is 31-43-3, while Montreal's is 51-44-2 The best-of-seven series resumes Monday night with Game 3 at the Montreal Forum.

Druce, a left winger who scored eight goals in 45 games during the regular season, increased his playoff total to seven with one in each period, the last into an empty net with 53 seconds remaining. Goaltender Don Beaupre, a key to the Capitals’s last three victories in their first-round knockdut of New Jersey, won his fourth straight decision with 25 saves. Beaupre made a big save on Brian Mullen’s five-footer from point-blank range with 642 minutes left in the third period and preserved the lead as the Capitals killed off a major penalty to Kelly Miller, ejected for cutting Jeff Bloemberg with 5:39 remaining The series moves to the Capital Centre for Games 3 and 4 on Monday and Wednesday nights, respectively.

The Oilers beat the Kings 6-1 to grab a 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven Smythe Divsiion final, running their playoff win streak to five games. The Blackhawks came up with an improved effort against the North Stars for‘a $-3 triumph that evened the Norris Division final 1-1. The Oilers have been on a roll since falling behind Win nipeg 3-1 in the divison semifinal. They won the final three of that series to survive and have taken the first two against Los Angeles, including a 7-0 shutout Wednesday CLUB RECORD Ranford set a club record by going 154 minutes 24 seconds between goals — from Thomas Steen’s goal in Game 7 against Winnipeg to Chris Kontos’s goal on a power play at 3:45 of the third period Friday night. The previous club playoff record was 92:42, set by former Edmonton goaltender Andy Moog in 1983. “‘All that matters is we got the win,”’ said Ranford. who stopped 33 shots. “The personal little things, you think about that at the end of the season. Martin Gelinas and Craig Simpson gave the Oilers a 2-0 lead after two periods, Then, midway in the third period, the Kings were hit with consecutive minor penalties after having cut the deficit td one.

Rose pleaded guilty Friday to two counts’ of filing false income tax returns, and could be sentenced to up to six years in jail by U.S. district judge S. Arthur Spiegel. Prosecutors won't say whether they'll recommend jail time for baseball's career hits leader. U.S. attorney D. Michael Crites said similar cases have resulted in varying sentences. ““We've had some people that have gotten (jail) sentences, we've had others that have gotten probation,"’ Crites said The former Cincinnati Reds star left the courtroom without comment, but his publicist later released a statement attributing his illegal ac- tivities to a gambling disorder. “Compulsive gambling makes you less than honest about your life,”’ Rose said in the statement. ‘‘Part of you knows that something’s wrong, so you hide what you're doing.

Spiegel accepted the guilty plea, which was part of a deal with prosecutors. Spiegel ordered the usual Presentence investigation, which will take four to six weeks. The judge has a lot of latitude in deciding Rose's fate. The maximum sentence on the two charges is a com- bined six years in jail and a $500,000 fine. ~_Rose had paid the IRS $366,043 in back taxes, interest and penalties. \ Rookie gets $15M welcome to NFL INDIANAPOLIS (AP( — The Indianapolis Colts signed Jeff George on Friday to a six-year, $15-million contract that will make the Illinois quarterback the fourth-highest paid player in the NFL. Colts general manager Jim Irsay announced the signing at a news conferen- ce, confirming that George would return to the city where he starred in high school “We really feel that this move in the long run is going to be a very significant one for the '90s,"" Irsay said. ‘We feel that throwing the football is the way you have to be successful. “I really don't think we've thrown the football consistently in WAY we'd like to see, probably since Bert Jones left in the late 1970s."" George's agent, Leigh Steinberg. said the deal makes George the highest paid rookie in NFL history Among current players, George’s package would tank below only Buf- falo’s Jim Kelly, Philadelpfifa’s Randall Cunningham and Cleveland’s Bernie Kosar, all quarterbacks. He'll earn more than Joe Montana, John Elway, . Warren Moon and several other established star quarterbacks. George wore a No. 11 jersey at the news conference and said he was ready to challenge Chris Chandler and Jack Trudeau for the starting job this fall. “I'm a confident guy,"’ George said.‘ This is just an ideal place tor me. I expect a lot of great things are going to happen for me and Indianapolis in the next year.’’ The pact also carries a $3.5-million signing hours.
