The rookie goaltender was the benefactor of a dis- ciplined checking game Tuesday night when the defending Stanley Cup champions defeated Vancouver Canucks 5-2 in the best game of the season at the Pacific Coliseum. “Every time I go in I know there will be a good performance in front of me,” said the 22-year-old Edmonton native after a solid, 31-save performance. “You don't get grey hair or ulcers breaking in with this team.” Hrudey was especially sharp during seven Vancouver power plays, all killed off by the Islanders, and the only shots to beat him were deflections. Hrudey plays behind veterans Billy Smith and Roland Melanson. It was his sixth game of the season and first since Nov. 15. LIKES STYLE “This was our type of game and one we enjoy playing,” added Arbour. “We stand a good chance in any game we play with good team discipline. “We've had two straight games like this with total discipline for 60 minutes. I'm obviously very pleased with * that.” * With Hrudey kicking’out the initial shots and the New York defence clearing the rebounds, the Canucks got few second chances against a team that takes pride in its de- net off the skates of beleaguered Canuck netminder Richard Brodeur, who wasn't near as sharp as Hrudey. Mike Bossy and Bryan Trottier, into an empty net,, added third-period goals for the Islanders, 18-9-1, who moved into first place in the Patrick Division, one point ahead of New York Rangers. The Canucks got goals from defenceman Rick Lanz and captain Stan Smyl as Vancouver, 11-14-38, remained third in the Smythe Division. BEST GAME Most of the Islanders agreed they played their best game of the season Sunday in Edmonton when they beat the Oilers 4-2. “Hrudey works hard in practices and is always learning from other goaltenders,” said Islander coach Al Albour. “He Pee Wee Reps drop two games Castlegar Pee Wee Reps lost two games to Cranbrook on the weekend in the East Kootenay city.

PARIS (AP) — North Americans overseas who subscribe to a mail-order videotape service of National Football League games have been getting a little extra yardage this season; a look at what the Monday night football crew REALLY thinks about eepecs transpiring on the field. ABC's Monday Night Football games are tapes directly off the network's sound truck and distributed by the West German-based Pontel company to more than 600 customers in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. : The tape keeps rolling during the commercial breaks and overseas fans get to eavesdrop on Howard Cosell, Don Meredith, Frank Gifford and 0.J.

And while.millions of North Americans look forward with anticipation as a game may head toward overtime, the ABC announcers exchange grumpy off-the-air com- ments about the ‘prospects ‘of being sttick’overnight in Pittsburgh or Cleveland or Cincinnati. “You think we'll make the plane?” Meredith mused during one unexciting contest. DULL STUFF Most of the exchanges are pretty dull stuff too — a lot of yawns, humming, clearing of throats and chats with the director about promotional messages and game stat- istics. And the overall impression one gets is how true to character the Monday Night crew stays when it is off the air. Cosell is no less opinionated, Gifford is just as straight, Meredith as relaxed, Simpson as serious. In a typical exchange, Gifford and Meredith traded recollections about Sunday school during one commercial break. “We've gotten comments from some customers who find it interesting,” a Pontel official said in a telephone interview. -STUDY SHOWS University students drink excessively TORONTO (CP) — Can- *, ada’s 400,000 university stu- dents are soaking up far more alcohol than is normal among the adult ‘population, says a report by the Addic- tion Research Foundation.
