Henri Pocket Rocket’ Richard shows some of the flare that made him a star with Mon- treal Canadiens. Richard's burst up ice seems to mesmerize teammate Eddie Shack (right). Richard and Shack were part of the Montreal Oldpros team visit in Castlegar this week. —ceutewsPhotos by Oovg Hervey Hockey stars big hit with local fans By RON NORMAN Editer It’s a good thing old hockey stars never say die. Otherwise, nearly 1,000 fans never would have had a chance to get in on all the fun of Wednesday night's Montreal Oldpros-Kootenay Select Oldtimers hockey game. And fun was what the evening was all about. Certainly, many of us turned out to see the heros of our youth — stars like the Richards (The Rocket and his little brother Heari, The Pocket Rocket), Norm Ullman and Andy Bathgate. We wanted to see if these former superstars — now long past their prime — could still show just a little of the magic that made them magnificent 15 and 20 years ago. And they did. The Pocket looked right at home at centre ice. skating as effortiessly as he did when he played full-time with Montreal Canadiens. And he showed a couple of times that he can still take a pass off his skates and put it right on his stick better than 99 per cent of today’s NHL players. Uliman — always the gentleman but a keen competitor — plays the same way now that he’s 50 and greying around the temples. And he looks like he’s at the same weight he was when he played for the Red Wings. And though Andy Bathgate has slowed a step (or two or three) he still has that silky smooth stride and aristocratic air that put him above all the mere mortals he played against in his days with the But for pure entertainment, no one beat Eddie Shack. His introduction set the tone for the game. It was a classic “clear the track, here comes Shack” pirouette at centre ice. And when the Rocket was introduced as the game's referee, Shack led all the oldpros in a mock bow at the feet of the “Great Richard.” The game itself was full of fine rushes by both sides. In fact, on hockey skills alone, the local oldtimers had the old pros beat hands down. But the oldpros weren't here only to play hockey. They were here to entertain and have fun.

Where You Belong puck whistled off a goal post, goalie Gerry Desjardins called a timeout, got down on his knees and kissed the post. A faceoff in the oldpros end? Jean-Guy Talbot solved that. The former Canadiens great simply paid off the tinesman. Yet the best gags were left to Shack, the crowd favorite. When a chant of, “We want Shack” went up, Eddie climbed out of the players box and tried to get into the stands, where he shouted, “You can have me.” And at another point Bathgate went down on the ice with a mysterious injury. Shack brought out the water bucket and a cup of water for the injured Bathgate. When Bathgate threw the cup of water in Shack's face, The Entertainer chased after him with the bucket. Guess who caught the full force of the water? Not Bathgate, that's for sure. As Bathgate skated past the Selects bench, Shack threw the bucketful of water. Bathgate made a neat turn and the water splashed along the Selects. It was also left to Shack to ensure the game ended in a 7-7 tie. With less than a minute remaining in the contest and the oldpros down 7-4, Uliman scored two quick goals to make the game close. Then in the longest six seconds on record (wink. wink), Shack finally tied the game. No one cared — least of all the Selects — if Shack happened to be offside or not. It was that kind of gyening DETROIT (AP) — Lanny MeDonald scored two goals and defenceman A] MacInnis had one goal and two assists Saturday as Calgary Flames posted a 7-4 National Hockey League victory over Detroit, handing the Red Wings their sixth straight setback.

LOUIS (AP) — Moe Mantha capped a second-period Pittsburgh surge with his seventh and eighth goals of the season to help the Penguins to a 5-2 victory over St. Louis Blues. The triumph, the Penguins’ second over St. Louis in 2% weeks, enabled Pittsburgh to caputre its season series against the Blues for the first time since the 1978-79 campaign. The Penguins, while improving their record to 41-1 in their last six games, outshot their opponent 43-34.

Haworth scored the first of his two goals at 2:24 of the first period. Ilkka Sinisalo scored for Philadelphia on power play, but a short-handed goal by Bengt Gustafsson made it 3-1 by the end of a period in which 28 penalties were called. The Capitals now have a club record of 11 short-handed goals. Mike Gartner scored the only goal of the second period on a power play at 17:59. It was his sixth power-play goal of the season and the 52nd for the Capitals. Haworth scored at 6:14 of the third period, giving him 23 for the season, just one short of his career-high.
