PSPHARMASAVE “In the Heart of Downtown Castlegar" 365-7813 Bruins hungry for final series By GRANT KERR Canadian Press EDMONTON — Irish Terry O'Reilly, perceived as the Tasmanian Devil during his playing career, ‘is the unknown factor in the Stanley Cup final. The hot tempered Boston Bruin coach has been behind the bench less than two years as he leads his team against the defending champion Edmonton Oilers tonight in the opening game of the National Hockey League championship series O'Reilly, 37 next month, set the Boston team record for penalty minutes during his 14 seasons as a rugged Bruin right winger. He was team captain for two “years until his retirement in 1985. Now he pits his tactical and motivational knowledge against Edmonton coaches Glen Sather and John Muckler. “My personality as a coach doesn't directly affect the has a certain amount of talent and leadership. “The Edmonton Oilers have shown that talent and leadership the last few years, The Bruins are a young and inexperienced team, but they have a lot of what's needed. Our inexperience migh an advantage becaue we have a hungry bunch.” The Bruins have won 12 of 18 post-season games this spring and for the first time in 45 years defeated the Montreal Canadiens in the playoffs:— this time in the Adams Division final, Sather and Muckler are in their fourth Stanley Cup final in five years with the Oilers, Sather is the master motivator and Muckler the trusted tactician. General manager Harry Sinden turned to O'Reilly in November 1986 when the team floundered under head coach Butch Goring. “Terry O'Reilly is a winner, a real hard worker, and that wears off on us,” Boston captain Ray Bourque said.

Crowder said it's important that both goaltenders are ready for the series, adding O'Reilly requires all players be prepared to perform. “Terry has demanded discipline from us, on and off the ice,” he said. “We always seemed to have the horses before, but not the discipline to carry out what it took to win. “This year we've finally committed ourselves to pay the price.” The Bruins have not won the Stanley Cup in 16 years afid last appeared in the final in 1978 when they were beaten in six games by Montreal. O'Reilly was a Bruin winger 10 years ago and reahzes the disciple needed to be ful. “Being underdogs doesn't play on my mind at all,” O'Reilly said. “The odds (favoring Edmonton by two-toone) are not pertinent “We just have to make the sacrifices that are needed.” Still, the explosive temper that made him one of the most feared brawlers on the circuit as a player has not been completely defused as a coach. O'Reilly got into a shouting match with the coaches of the New Jersey Devils during the Wales Conference fina] last week when he objected to the tacties of Devil winger Pat Verbeek And his personal discipline may have slipped a bit during the first round of the playoffs when it’s alleged he struck a car in a Buffalo, N.Y., parking lot with a tire iron when it blocked the team bus. The first game of the final begins at 9:05 p.m., EDT, and will be televised by Global and a network of P stations. Ex-Montreal coach available for job - with new NHL team MONTREAL (CP) Jean Perron, who quit as coach of the Montreal Canadiens on Mnday, says he's “free and available” for a new challenge. in the National Hockey League “I am free,” Perron said in an interview published today in Montreal La Presse. “I am not a broken man and (today) I intend to make known to hockey people, to NHL people, that I am available.” Perron is holding a news conference today at the Forum, in the same second floor restaurant where Mon- treal general manager Serge Savard, in the absence of Perron, announced Monday that the head coach had re. signed, citing the pressures of the job. Perron had been refusing all inter iews to reporters but granted one to..three.seasons with the Canadiens. The columnist Rejean Tremblay, who visit ed his suburban home. “I had a good day today,” Perron said. “I thought about my news confer. ence, about what I should say “My emotions have settled down a bit.” EMOTIONS FRAYED Emotions were a tad frayed Monday Perron’s wife, Rita, slammed the front door on a television crew from the pri vate French language network Quatre Saisons who came calling for an interview. She also went through a couple of boxes of tissues to wipe away tears But she was back to near normal Tuesday “The people have been so nice, that's helped,” she said Perron said that on a stroll through his neighborhood Tuesday, he took heart from the comments by people he encountered. Expos beat red hot L.A. Dodgers LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hubie Brooks thought a good outing was overdue for the Montreal Expos, who had lost four straight “We needed to have a good game,” the Expos’ right fielder said Tuesday night after he singled twice and scored three runs in a 65 National League baseball victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. “We lost three in a row at San Diego and two out of three in Atlanta before that. If we are going to be any good, we have to play better than that.” The Expos victimized Fernando Valenzuela, 3-4, for six runs, 10 hits and five walks during his seven innings on the mound for Los Angeles. “We capitalized on a few of his mis takes,” Brooks said of the Dodger left hander. “Earler in the game, he walked some guys and didn't have his location “But we were tough against him He's still a very good pitcher. Every pitcher is in trouble when he gets behind, and he’s no different.” Rookie Johnny Paredes, batting against Valenzuela for the first time in the regular season, drove in three runs with a pair of two-out, bases-loaded singles. “He wasn't that effective,” Paredes said of Valenzuela, whom he had faced in spring training “I was trying to concentrate on pitches outside and high. “He doesn’t have a hard fastball, so if There is still some question as to whether Perron resigned voluntarily or was pressed into quitting by the Canadiens. Bertrand Raymond, a veteran sports columnist with Le Journal de Montreal, wrote that he was fired, adding,. “he was cruelly sacrificed to fulfil the wish of team president Ronald Corey, to relieve general manager Serge Savard of a man who Stuck by his beliefs, to the point of going against his own, ahd to satisfy athletes who had’seen enough of him and were less and less shy about saying it.” SUPPORT SHOWN Calls to radio talk shows Monday night were largely supportive of Per. ron and the work he did during his highlights of his tenure were a Stanley Cup triumph in his first season and 103 points in the recently concluded regu lar season Perron wasn't saying Tuesday what his future plans are, nor did he explain why he resigned. “I don't want to reveal what I'm going to say in my news conference,” Perron said. “But it (the news con ference) will certainly help people’un derstand what happened.” There are several possibilities for Perron. There is an opening for a coach in St. Louis, where Jacques Martin was fired Tuesday. The Quebec Nordiques are looking for a general manager. And Tony Esposito, general mana ger of the Pittsburgh Penguins, on learning Perron was no longer with the Canadiens, said: ‘We have four candi dates for our coaching job. Now we have to add a fifth — Jean Perron.” HIGH JUMP .
