Bruins not By GRANT KERR VANCOUVER (CP) — Boston has an urgent mes- sage for Buffalo Sabres: the Bruins aren't ready to con. cede first place just yet in the Adams Division race. The Bruins returned to their grinding form Tuesday night during an impressive 5-2 vietory over Vancouver Canucks in the National Hoe- key League. “We haven't given up on finishing first,” said Boston defenceman Ray Bourque af- ter scoring the winning goal in the second period. “We're starting to get our game back on track. “We feel we're going to get better down the stretch and we're not satisfied with sec- ond place because we can play better. Our main objec- tive right now is still to finish first.” The victory was just the fourth in the last 10 games for the Bruins and left Boston eight points back of Buffalo following the Sabres’ 5-4 overtime victory over the Flyers in Buffalo. Bourgie broke a 2-2 tie in the second period when he rushed through the Vancou- ver defensive pair of Rick Lanz and Jiri Bubla to take a return pass from Barry Ped- erson and score his 21st goal of the season while both teams were one man short. “We've still got a ways to go,” said Boston coach Gerry Cheevers. “But tonight we were more forceful once we got ahead 3-2. “But regardless of the sit- uation, we work hard. When you work hard, you get re- sults. Some of the players who were injured are just now getting into shape and this road trip should help.” It was Boston's first win in the middle contest of a seven- game road trip and goaltend- er Pete Peeters came up with numerous key saves to keep the Bruins ahead of the Can- finally got some bounces going our way to night,” Peeters said. “I was challenging the shooters more, which is my philosophy in playing goal.” Peeters and Vancouver netminder John Garrett each faced what Peeters called “22 quality shots” and Peeters made his best saves in the third period on Vancouver shooters Patrik Sundstrom and Gary Lupul. The Bruins also got goals from rookie Nevin Markwart, Says call was unfair While the Telemark B.C, Cup Series for this season, members of the local club will be involved in a number of races over the next three weeks. This Sunday at-10:30 a.m. in Rossland, the Blackjack Ski Club will be hosting the final leg of the Kootenay Cup Series. The Castlegar Nordics hold the series lead going into this final race. Gordon Cooper's strong performance over a number of races this season has earned him a berth‘on the B.C. Team and a chance to compete in the Canadian Junior Nationals to be held in Kamloops in a week's time. As well, Kari Hartman, Pauline Orr, Sara Wearmouth, David Mathieson and Dana Fenwick will be out to win gold for the Kootenay Zone during the upcoming Winter Games in Fort St. John. beaten yet Rick Middleton on the power play, Dave Silk and Tom Fergus, with Silk and Fergus scoring in the final period when the Boston forecheck- ing frustrated the Canucks. Sundstrom and rookie Cam Neely were the Vancouver marksmen as the Canucks remained in a third-place tie with Winnipeg Jets in the Smythe Division, just two points ahead of last-place Los Angeles Kings. Coach Harry Neale of the Canucks and Vancouver win- ger Tony Tanti complained bitterly about the officiating of slow-skating referee Ron Wicks. “He just put his whistle away in the third and let Boston get away with lots of tripping and holding,” said Tanti. “He just turned the other way; I guess he’s that kind of referee.” Neale said Wicks is a “pretty good official most nights” but he “didn't appear to try as hard as the players.” “A senior referee like Wicks has to get himself , Teady like,the players down. the stretch,” said Neale. “He's bad a_real nonchalant . attitude the last two games here. “Players and coaches have to worry about their jobs, but it seems officials who are rated in the top two-thirds in the league don’t, and Wicks is one of the senior officials.” Boston scored on one of its four power plays while the Canucks were blanked dur- ing their three manpower advantages. Chelios goes pro MONTREAL (CP) — De- fenceman Chris Chelios, drafted 40th overall by the Canadiens in the fifth round of the 1981 National Hockey League entry draft, is expec- ted to make his professional debut Saturday night when Montreal plays New York Rangers.

Coach fumes over Gretzky goal By The Canadian Press Edmonton centre Wayne Gretzky scored four goals Tuesday night and had St. Louis coach Jacques Demers in a frenzy. “Gretzky's got all the tricks in the world, pow,” said Demers, contesting Gretzky's second goal in the Qilers’ 6-5 victory, over the Blues. “The goal judge didn't see it, the referee didn't see it and the goal judge says it's not a goal. “All of a sudden, he (the ‘goal judge) changes his mind. What changed his mind? I think through the insistence of Wayne Gretzky. The only guy who seemed to see it was Wayne.” The disputed goal, scored late in the first period from behind the Blues’ net, gave the Oilers a 3-2 lead and Demers was ejected after racing onto the ice after ref. eree Ron Fournier at the intermission. His players re- strained him but he threw his glasses and a stick to the ice. Elsewhere, it was: Quebec Nordiques 3, Montreal Cana- diens 2; Buffalo Sabres 5, Philadelphia Flyers 4, in overtime; Calgary Flames 2, Toronto Maple Leafs 2; and Boston Bruins 5, Vancouver Canucks 2. In St. Louis, Jaroslav Pouzar of the Oilers and Brian Sutter of the Blues ex- changed goals before Gret- zky gave Edmonton a 3-1 lead with two power-play goals late in the first period. CROWD BOOS The crowd of 16,145 erup- ted with boos on his second, at 18:57, when the goal judge hesitated. Gretzky backhand- ed the puck into the air from behind the net and said it hit Liut’s back and fell over the goal line. The Blues came out strong in the second period and tied it on goals by Jorgen Pet- tersson at 0:53 and Doug Gil- mour at 12:51. But Gretzky killed St. Louis's momentum two minutes later when he took a pass behind the net and slid the puck between Liut’s legs from the side of the crease.

They dis- agreed. Dusty can now file a plied for the Canadiens, out- shot 29-19. SABRES 5 FLYERS 4 In Philadelphia, Phil Hous- ley scored on a rebound 4:09 into sudden-death overtime to give ‘Buffalo its seventh win in a row. The Sabres trailed 4-2 in the third period but Mike Foligno, with his second goal of the night, and Dave An- dreychuk, with his 30th of the season, scored to force the extra period. Paul Cyr also scored for Buffalo. Tim Kerr scored his 38th and 29th goals of the season and Dave Poulin and Bill Barber added singles for the Flyers, who were outshot 34-24. LEAFS 2 FLAMES 2 Tn Calgary, goals by John Anderson and Bill Derlago putthe Leafs in front early but Jamie Macoun scored at 18:41 of the second period and Ed Beers tied it on a power play with 6:27 left.

At the time the club released him it acknowledged an obli- gation to pay him the re maining two years of his five- year contract. “The Dodgers also offered to buy Baker out, but their offer was refused.
