The best-of-seven series now switches to New York for games Monday and Wednesday. With the score tied 1-1 after a dull first period, the Canadiens chased Rangers’ goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck from the net with four unanswered goals. Vanbiesbrouck, who faced 26 shots, was replaced by Glen Hanlon at the start of the third period. Hanlon was beaten for a goal by Canadiens defenceman Chris Chelios, who fanned on his shot but the puck dribbled into the net on the short side for a power-play goal. Carbonneau's first goal of the night at 1:41 started the second period scoring spree and his second, with 17 seconds left before the teams headed to their dressing rooms, finished things off. Carbonneau also hushed the Forum crowd of 18,072 midway through the period when he fill to the ice after being accidently cut by a Rangers’ stick.

LOUIS Flames sing the Blues By JOHN KOROBANIK CALGARY (CP) — Calgary Flame forward Joey Mullen sat in his stall in sweat-soaked underwear for a long time after Friday night's 3-2 loss to St. Louis Blues, disbelieving what had just happened in Game 1 of the NHL Campbell Conference final against his former teammates. The Blues had played strictly defence for 54 minutes before striking for two quick goals near the 15-minute mark of the third period to gain the upper hand in the best-of-seven series. Game 2 will be played here tonight Mullen and his new Calgary teammates weren't surprised at how the Blues had once again mystified their opponents and stole a victory. “The Blues have been successful_with that style all season,” said Mullen. “We have got to wake up and realize that is how they play.” If there's a sense of deju vu in reading that comment it's probably because many of the Flames statements after Friday's loss and Saturday's practice are similar to those of Edmonton Oilers after losing two of the first three games of the Smythe Division final to the Flames Just as the Oilers talked of intensity, the work ethic, adjustments and discipline, so now, were the Flames The Oilers lost their chance for a third straight Stanley Cup by refusing to make adjustments. The question now is whether the Flames will be just as stubborn. “It is a major adjustment,” coach Bob Johnson said of trying to switch from the high-paced, emotional type of series they had against Edmonton to the slow-moving, boring style of game the Blues play “The tempo won't be there. There won't be any end-to-end hockey. It'll be a lot of hard work in the corners and fighting through traffic in front of the net.” “It's just such a different style of game but we have to adjust to it,” said defenceman Jamie Macoun. “You'll see a totally different Calgary Flames team next game. “T'm not going to tell you what we'll do but we have a couple of different ways of breaking out, a couple of different ways of handling their shooters.” Defenceman Al MacInnis, one of three Flames who stood and watched Mark Hunter burst between them and go in to score the winning goal Friday, said Calgary has to be just as patient as the Blues. Being disciplined, said veteran Lanny McDonald who is eager for a chance at a first Stanley Cup ring, means not trying to be individualistic, a method that led to Edmonton's downfall. TORONTO (CP) — Fans of Calgary Flames and St. Louis Blues are victims of a ratings war — the Civil War to be exact — that has caused the CTV television network to preempt its coverage of Games 2 and 3 of the NHL Campbell Conference playoff in most parts of the country. Although the first game in Calgary of the best-of-seven league semifinal was shown on the full CTV network the next two matches tonight and Tuesday will be seen only in Alberta and British Columbia. The rest of the CTV net work will carry North-South Book II, a mini-series about the American Civil War pro duced by a U.S. network. Johnny Esaw, head of CTV sports, said in an interview the network decided to go with the mini-series because it's expected to have bigger ratings than the Stanley Cup playoff. Game 4 and any other Campbell Conference final matches that are necessary will be shown on the full network, Esaw said To further confuse the is sue, viewers in Calgary will see the games on the local CBC affiliate because the public network has regional rights to all playoff games that involve Canadian teams. Earlier this week, the CBC announced it would carry the Wales Conference final he tween New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens on its full French- and English language networks. by LV Rogers Stanley Humphries secon+ dary school tehnis team squeaked by L.V. Rogers of The boys doubles A team of Tim Horcoff and Graham Fleet posted two impressive Nelson 65 in their first - victories, while rookie David league match of the season. The boys team proved to be the strength of the victory winning three of four doubles matches, while the girls failed to win any doubles matches. Coach Barry DePaoli said Rollen Raposo and Jane Fleet both played well winning their respective singles mat ches and teamed up to give Stanley Humphries another victory in mixed doubles play. Kravski and Tony Ozeroff won a key match upsetting LVR's A team. The SHSS team has been practicing regularly since the Easter break. Several pre- viously scheduled matches have been cancelled due to rainouts and a work-torule campaign in the Trail School District This week the team will be involved in two important matches against Trail and Rossland at home on Tuesday and Wednesday. “We can't start to Lone Ranger it,” said McDonald. “We have to play as a team, dump the puck in and have two or three guys on top of it.” Then, if they succeed with that, the Flames have to find a way to solve the mystery of goaltender Rick Wamsley. The surprise starter in Game 1, Wamsley improved his record against Calgary to 11-2 with a solid, at times spectacular pe¥formance Friday. “He's only a goalie.” snarled McDonald. “We had another goalie-whoe had our number. Grant Fuhr, and we solved him.” East Trail bad news for Bears A rash of errors proved too costly for the A&W Bears Wednesday night at Fruit vale The Bears committed eight errors, contributing to an 11-8 defeat at the hands of East Trail. Bears pitchers Graham Mc Kenzie, Mickey Muller and Rod Gritchen allowed 12 hits, struck out four and walked only five batters. East Trail pitchers gave up eight walks and two hit bat ters, and struck out seven. McKenzie and Gritchen had extra base hits for the Bears, while Terry Altrogge turned in a strong perfor. mance at the plate for East Trail with four hits The Bears play Fruitvale today at 10 a.m. at Kinnaird Park and again at 2 p.m. in Fruitvale. The Bears meet Shoppers Drug Mart at Pople Park Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. In a sidelight, Vic Hinton, vice-president of the New Zealand All Blacks and New Zealand Rugby Union, was in attendance at Wednesday's game. * Hinton spoke with several of the Bears, including Ad rian Strelaeff, one of two high school rugby players on the baseball team. CANUCKS BAFFLE LENARDON Editor's note: This story on Trail native Tim Lenardon is reprinted from the Vancouver Sun. By MIKE BEAMISH Tim Lenardon wonders why much of this province's hockey talent doesn't play for the Vancouver Canucks. “It's weird how they let guys go out of B.C. like that,” says the 23-year-old Trail native. “Greg Adams (Nelson) is in New Jersey, Ray Ferraro (Trail) is in Hartford, Steve Bozak (Castlegar) is in Calgary. It seems they (Canucks) ignore us. But I don’t want to knock the organization because I'd like to play for them.” To be fair, Canucks drafted Maple Ridge’s Cam Neely, signed Trail’s Steve Tambellini to a free agent contract and didn’t blink when the bidding for free agent Dwight Mathaisen, who was born in Campbell River, topped $1 million But the notion remains that the Canucks are shortsighted in appraising hockey talent raised in their mountainous backyard. When asked two weeks ago if he was interested in acquiring Lenardon, a 6'2", 185-pound free agent centre from Brandon University Bobcats, Griffths was at a momentary loss. “I didn't know they had a university in Brandon,” he said Believe it, Arthur Lenardon, whose father Norm played with Trail Smoke Eaters when they won Canada’s last world championship in 1961, was named the Canada West universities player of the year this season after he broke the scoring record with 27 goals and 40 assists in 28 games. A third-year physical education student, Lenardon won the scoring title with 59 points in 24 games the previous season when Brandon played in the Great Plains Conference. The runnerup to Lenardon in the GPAC points race that year was University of Manitoba's Mike Ridley, who edrned a berth with New York Rangers this season and unexpectedly led the Broadway Blueshirts in scoring as a rookie “Mike Ridley opened doors for a lot of us,” says Lenardon. “The first year I played at Brandon you'd never see an NHL scout the whole season. My coach (Bob Fitchner) said he counted eight at one game this season.” ‘Last September, Lenardon had a successful training camp with New Jersey and was destined for the Devils farm club in Maine. But he got caught in a numbers crunch at centre when the Devils traded for Mark Johnson and signed free agent Peter McNab. New Jersey wanted Lenardon to apprentice in the International Hockey League but he decided to return to Brandon. New Jersey and Washington have expressed interest in signing the Bobcat centre to a professional contract. Lenardon is being represented by Boston lawyer Brian Burke, who negotiated a lucrative, multi-year deal with the Detroit Red Wings last season for U.S. collegian Ray Stazack “David Poile (Washington G.M.) wanted me to join their farm team in Binghampton (AHL) last month but I hurt my chest the last three weeks of the season,” Lenardon says. “I decided not to go down because I wasn't playing up to my potential and I didn't want to make a fool of myself.” Burke met with Canucks’ chief scout Mike Penny last week in Providence, R.I., but the scout is noncommital about Canucks’ pursuit of Lenardon.
