September 16, 1987 veasleiin a caps Canada's comeback By ALAN ADAMS HAMILTON — When the Soviet Union took a 3-0 lead in the finale of the Canada Cup hockey tournament Tuesday night, the Canadian players knew the comrades had made a mistake. “We got our faces slapped a little bit, but then we bore jown and took it from there,” said defenceman Paul Coffey. by three goals eight minutes into the game, ‘Team Canada fought back for a 6-5, triumph on a goal by Marjo Lemieux with 1:26 remaining on a pass from Wayne Gretzky. “After we scored our first goal, we knew we were going to come back,” said Lemieux, the tournament's top goal scorer with 11, including two. game winners in the best-of-three championship. “You see all the great hockey players that are in this room and the confidence they have in themselves, we weren't afraid after falling behind 3-0" Raising the stylized maple leaf- trophy, Gretzky compared winning the Canada Cup with winning hockey's other coveted trophy, the Stanley Cup. AS SPECIAL “This might be more special because the way we did it,” said Gretzky, who finished with a tournament-high 21 points. “We came from behind. We-were out of the hockey game.” Canada fought back to 3-2 and came close to tying it late in the first period, but the Soviets doubled their lead with 28 seconds left in the opening period on a giveaway by de- fenceman Ray Bourque. Gretzky said there was no sense of panic in the first intermission. “We knew that Grant (Fuhr) was going to shut the oor,” he said. “We knew we would come back. “The feeling on this-team was something I've never experienced.” Canada turned the game around ‘in the second period, scoring three times. “We couldn't sit back and worry about being behind by three goals,” said Brent Sutter, who scored one of the middle-period goals, “We just had to keep going, and working hard.” However, a familiar pattern developed in the third — Canada failed to hang onto the lead. But once Lemieux scored, the Canadians became stingy and smothered the Soviet offence. PRESERVED LEAD ~ “Tonight, we didn’t let them get on in the last minute,” said Coffey. “This one was not going to slip away. “The Russians just sat back and waited for us to be ‘over-anxious, and make a few mistakes,” Tournament chairman Alan Eagleson had a flashback when the Soviets tied it, “T said, ‘Here we go again,’ Eagleson said. “We hada win and we have given it back.” In the first game in Montreal, Canada lost the lead late in the game and the Soviets won 6-65 in overtime. The pattern was similar in Game 2 with Canada blowing a lead late in the game, but the outcome was different thanks to Lemieux’s double-overtime goal. Going back ‘to the semifinal against Czechoslovakia, Canada had to rally to beat their opponents, and a late goal by Wayne Gretzky in three round-robin earned Canada a 3-3 tie with the Soviets. “The guys know how to dig down deep into their hearts,” said Fuhr, whose efforts earned him the tourna- ment’s all-star goaltender honor.

Mike Flanagan, traded Aug. 31 to the Toronto Blue Jays by the Baltimore Orioles for two minor-league pitchers, felt “out of uniform” as he awaited his starting assignment Tuesday night. But once on the mound, things fell into place. Flanagan, 5-6, won his second decision against no defeats as a Blue Jay. He limited the Orioles to five hits over eight shutout innings in a 6-2 Toronto victory, walking. two and striking out five. Toronto. and the Detroit Tigers. 9-8 winners over the Boston Red Sox, remained tied for first place in the American League East with 87-57 records. Lloyd Moseby drove in four runs with three hits, including a three-run homer, and an RBI triple. He also singled and had two shots at becoming the first Jay to hit for the cycle, but grounded out and flew out. “It's confidence,” said Oriole Larry Sheets of Flanagan. “You've got a great team behind you and it makes a lot of difference. “You can see it. He knows they're going to score runs for him and they have a good defensive team. He's going go out there and give it what he can. ‘onight, you saw what he can do.” Flanagan, who's surrendered two runs in 21 innings as a Blue Jay, said he felt “more pensive than nervous” before the game. On the mound, he left the decisions to catcher Ernie Whitt. “It was a strange night and I tried not to dwell on it too much and be as professional as I could,” said Flanagan, who spent'11 seasons with the Orioles. Jose Mesa, 0-1, one of the two pitchers in the Flanagan deal, gave up 10 hits and fiye runs. Duane Ward pitched the ninth and allowed both runs by the Orioles, losers of eight straight games. The Orioles are 1-24 on the road against the five teams above them in the AL East division. Whitt hit a solo homer in the fifth, but doubled in the seventh to end an odd streak -- his previous six hits were DOME FUDBR, «gory Mesa sliowad wy tog in the pangs + before Moseby homered, when Liriano’s one-hopper bounced off first baseman Eddie Murray into the right-field corner. Moseby followed with an RBI triple. Opponents have scored first on the Orioles in the last 15 games. There was more bad news for the Orioles — second baseman Bill Ripken tore the lateral ligament in his right ankle and is out for the season. He caught his spike on the turf in the first inning trying to field a ground ball by Tony Fernandez up the middle. “I tried to pick my foot up and it wouldn't come up,” Ripken said. “It just stuck in there and it rolled over. I felt it and I heard it.” The Orioles scored twice in the ninth on a walk, a double by Ray Knight, an RBI grounder by Jim Dwyer and an RBI single by Sheets.

And we did it!” “I haven't won a Stanley Cup, but right now I'm part \ of a team that’s No. 1 in the world and not many guys can of the game It was the fourth Canada Cup tournament, ad Canada has won three of them. But it was not easy. ‘Trailing 3-0 after eight minutes, Team Canada fought back to win the three-week tournament that ranked with the 1972 Summit Series, won by Canada on Paul say that,” said Dale Hawerchuk, selected Canada's player | Canada’s newest heroes, “It was a great goal,” he said of Lemieux’s winning shot. Even. Vladislav Tretiak, the former Soviet goal- tending star, could not have stopped that one, Henderson said. Hawerchuk won a faceoff in the Canadian zone and got the puck ahead to Lemieux, who passed to Gretzky at centre ice. No. 99 carried the puck into the Soviet zone on a 3on-1 breakaway. “I saw No. 66 (Lemieux) and that’s where the puck was going,” Gretzky said. “There was no doubt abgut that.” Lemieux's tournament-high 11th goal nestled ander the cross bar behind goaltender Sergei Mylnikov and the capacity crowd of 17,037 went wild. Only 1:26 remained in the game. “T have a couple of seconds to look (before shooting), Lemieux said. “I was going top shelf all the way “Gretz made a great play.” Sergei Makarov, Alexei Gusarov and Viacheslav Festisov had the Soviets ahead 3-0 before Rick Tocchet, playing with an injured knee, replied for Canada at 9:50 of the first period. Brian Propp made it 3-2 but the Soviets regained a two-goal lead on a goal by Andrei Khmutov with 28 seconds left in the period. “We knew we had a helluva hill to climb, but we'd climbed that hill before and we knew we could do it again,” said head coach Mike Keenan. Players soften demands WASHINGTON (AP) — The chief negotiator for the NFL Management Council returned to New York after reading the union's counterproposal Tuesday night to a contract the owner's submitted a week earlier. The NFL Players’ Association presented the owners its counterpro- posal exactly one week before its Sept. 22 strike deadline. The union softened its demands for unrestricted free agency, but still called for guarantees for player representatives and second- year players. Jack Donlan, executive director of the Management Council, was sche duled to hold a news conference today to announce the owners’ view of the counterproposal. “We're obviously disappointed that they chose to leave without negotiating,” said association lawyer Dick Berthelsen. vail ad M 1 Expos felt afar. lik pitehed 61-3 perfect‘ “ind ings and wound up with a three-hitter as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat Mon- treal §-1 Tuesday night, dropping the third-place Expos three games behind the National League East-leading St. Louis Cardinals. “I felt lousy in the bullpen before the game,” Bielecki said. “I'm starting to get a cold. I ate chicken wings and it was the wrong thing to eat, sol hada bellyache.” Despite the discomfort, Lielecki retired the first 19 batters he faced before Mitch Webster lined a double down the left-field line in the se, enth. Bielecki gave up two singles is the eighth, then allowed an unearne } run im the ninth. “T've. never thrown a no-hitter, not even in Little League,” Bielecki said. “It was exciting.” He was aided by two excelient de- fensive plays. In the second inning, rookie second baseman Jose Lind ranged far to his right to throw out Andres Galarraga on a ball hit up the middle. Just before Webster's hit, Andy Van Slyke made a leaping catch of a drive by Tim Raines at the centre field wall. A mistake to Webster ended the no-hitter. “1 tried to throw a sinker and I just overthrew it,” Bielecki said. “After he got the hit, I told myself to just try and go at them and not let it bother me. “With the kind of lineup they have, they can score runs in a hurry. We have a five-run lead and I knew it could be 5-8 before I knew what was going on.” Bielecki, 28, opened the season with Class AAA's Vancouver Can- adians of the Pacific Coast League. Despite having a 12-5 record at one point, he wasn't recalled until the Pirates traded Rick Reuschel to the San Francisco Giants on Aug. 22. Bielecki was 12-10 when he was called up. General manager Syd Thrift said last month he considered trading Bielecki, who was 6-11 with the Pirates last season and didn't win in his last 10 starts. Much of the Pirate offence centred around John Cangelosi, who became the first’ Pirate in 21 years to steal home. Cangelosi singled, stole second, moved up on a hit and stole home in the fourth for the Pirates’ first run when starter Neal Heaton, 12-8, tried to pick Lind off first. It was the first steal of home by a Pirate since Manny Mota did it on May 17. 1966 against the Atlanta Braves.
