In the end the Vancouver

The lowest-scoring team in the NHL had the
Calgary Flames by the throat in the playoffs, but the
Canucks couldn't squeeze tight enough. In this case,
they couldn't s§uceze out a goal in overtime in the
deciding game, despite numerous chances

Hockey is a game of seconds and inches,
Canuck coach Bob McCammon said after losing in the
Smythe Division semifinal, ‘‘and we came up a few
seconds short

Vancouver's 19th season in the NHL concluded
when Joel Otto scored for Calgary at 19:21 of overtime
The ending, however, is much brighter for the Canucks
than in past seasons

The Canucks appear to be on the rise, a team which
improved by 15 points this season while discovering a
potential superstar in rookie Trevor Linden

They showed true grit in extending the Flames, who
finished 43 points ahead of Vancouver in league play, to
extra time in the seventh game of a snarly, bitterly
played series

The Canucks exhibited character in the playoffs,
McCammon said, by not knuchling under to the bigger
and more talented Flames.

It’s sad When you lose, but we know now we're a
much better team,’ said McCammon, **We gained a lot
of respect late in the season and we should be better next
year

DEFENSIVE FORTE

The formula for success — Vancouver rose to four
th in the Smythe standings to escape the basement they
occupied for two years — was defensive in nature

McCammon and the Canuck management
(president-general manager Pat Quinn and vice
president Brian Burke) decided the Canucks could im
prove by playing better team defence

The Canucks did just that, finishing third among
21 teams in goals-against average. The netminding tan
dem of Kirk McLcan, 22, and Steve Weeks, 30, was con:
sistent;—while the_no-name defence turned back op:
ponents with a new tenacity

Linden became the new team leader, establishing a

relentless work ethic, despite his tender years; the rookie
from Medicine Hat, Alta., was the NHL's youngest
player, turning 19 in the playoffs.

“‘Lhad a pretty good year, but by no means a great
year," Linden said. ** There's a lot of things I can do bet
ter, things | can improve upon

“I had so much help. | owe a lot of credit to the
other players.”

McLean and Weeks had better than respectable
averages. McLean appeared in 42 games with a 3.08
average and 20 wins, while Weeks was in 35 games and
had a 2.98 average with 11 wins

The defence was anchored by 29-year-old Paul
Reinhart. Discarded by Calgary because of recurring

Still Snepsts, 34, wasn't about to smile for a

Linden and Petri Skriko, 27, led the forwards with
30 goals each. But the offence tailed off late in the
season when Barry Pederson suffered-a broken collat

than 40 each of the last five years. Pederson, 28, had jus
