The other five teams — Sweden, Czechoslovakia, West Ger- many, Finland and Italy are tied with Canada at 1-1. That's about the way it’s going to look when the pre- liminary round-robin portion of the tournament ends, said Jake Milford, general man- ager of Vancouver Canucks. “Everybody else can just forget it; the Russians have _got it all,” Milford said. “They were just awesome against Sweden which played a pretty good game. Those guys are so-big and strong, can skate go fast and have so many ‘skills that we don't have a chance. “The only thing that could have stopped them from winning the tournament is a plane crash and that didn't happen.” » Milford is willing to share this view with. anyone.

Molson, No. 1 in sales among the three brewers who share the. $600 million Quebec market, owes that position partly to its owner- ship of Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League. Molson spent several years looking for something to fill the promotional gap left each summer after the Canadiens finished their season.

It reminded them of the nation- alistic pride evoked by the province's huge Manicouagan hydroelectric project, nick- named Manic.
