Last night's opening play-off game between the Nelson Maple Leafs and the Castlegar Rebels Started with a strong story line but poor acting quickly tured it into nothing more than cheap stupidness. The Leafs jumped ahead by two goals carly in the first period before the Rebels came back to tie it on goals by Dave Dyball and Shane Cutler. Still tied half way through the second, the game could have gone either way. But the Rebels took a rash of penalties and seven goals later, Nelson went home savoring a 9-2 victory. The Leafs, who are now unbeaten in 21 games, are the overwhelming favorites to win the series. The are playing with the ruthlessness of a Hollywood slasher at some remote high school camp-out. Castlegar didn’t help their own Cause any, as they consistently wasted scoring opportunities. A handful of Rebels spent more time in the penalty box than on their team bench. Most of the penalties came from incidents that had no bear- ing on the play at hand, _ Because of this they kept set- ting themselves up—like the faceless actress who, knowing there's a killer near, insists on checking out strange groans com- ing from the dark forest. “It's frustrating,” said Rebels coach Gord Walker about the lack of discipline on the bench. “They've proven it time and time wu .

Their [the player's] intelli- gence disappears.” The most obvious Rebel to run into senseless trouble was Nelson Physical Rebels like Dave Dyball have to Dale Bonderud (10) and the Maple Leafs hat native Kevin Dewar. Taunted by the crowd of 260, Dewar took his frustration out at the least opportune times. One example was when the Rebels were down three goals and killing a penalty late in the second. After the whistle blew, Dewar cross- checked a Nelson player right in front of the reteree. It effectually ended any chance Castlegar had of regaining control of the game. “It’s just playing against Nel- son guys,” Dewar said. “Once | Rockettes coast to pair of easy wins JIM ZEEBEN | Sports editor defense which scored the extra Points.

The senior boys basketball team avenged a Friday loss in Nelson by coming home to beat the L. V.Rogers Bombers 67-55. The day before the Rockers lost 50-47 but they were without their starting point guard Ryan Vatkin. Vatkin injured his wrist against the Bombers in the final of the Rockers home tourney, February 1. “There were a lot of guys miss- ing,” said S.H. coach John Ritchie. “With Vatkin hurt, [Mar- cel] Dusseault played point guard and he’s not used to that position. It’s very evident if Ryan Vatkin gets hurt we will have to juggle The normally high scoring Dusseault was kept out of the top scorers. Bob Baulne and Dan Kooznetsoff picked up the slack, scoring 12 points each while Ed Furland had 11. With Vatkin back in his normal spot for Saturday’s game, the Rockers broke things open early. “The difference on Saturday with Ryan in the line-up was we could play our tempo,” Ritchie said. After leading by almost 20 points after the first quarter, S.H.S.S. cruised to the 12 point victory. Back in his familiar spot, Dusseault led scorers with 18 points followed by Vatkin with 15 and Kooznetsoff with 14.
