D Where You Belong Canada in final curling showdown By IAN MacLAINE Press LAUSANNE, Switzerland (CP) — Pat Ryan's Edmon. ton rink overcame a Swiss jinx and defeated Switzerland's Daniel Model 4-2 Saturday to lead Canada to the final of the men's world curling championship. Ryan is to meet Olympic gold medallist Eigel Ramsfjell of Norway in the final today at 10 a.m. EDT. Norway defeated Scotland's David Smith 7-2 in the other semifinal. Canadian teams had lost their semifinals the last two times the world championships were staged in Switzerland — in 1974 to Sweden and 1979 to Norway. Ryan's Express, gunning for its 26th playoff round vietory this year, appeared to have been derailed until Model's last rock in the 10th — one of just two draws he made in the game — looked as if it picked up some stray dirt. Despite gallant brooming by the front end, the rock stopped short of two Canadian stones in the house. Ryan's team, which ran up nine straight wins here in the round robin, appeared rusty against the Swiss. They weren't making the draws, getting the tap-backs or the hits-and-rolls that were routine in their earlier triumphs. LIPS PEEL Ryan, the 32-year-old accountant who parlayed misses into points all week, didn’t get an opportunity until the 10th end when Swiss second Michael Lips missed a peel and Model followed with his errant draw “They were playing so well,” Ryan admitted of the hot-shooting Swiss. “I don't know whether we didn't\get an opportunity. I told my team when we were sitting in the back in the ninth that if I make this shot we'd probably win the game. “I just for some reason had a feeling the hype around here would work in our favor. It seemed to when they flashed that guard (by Lips).” With its unbeaten record in round robin play, Canada earned the hammer — last rock. — in the first end throughout the playoff. Ryan said it could swing the outcome their way. “This team here, they don't give you anything, no chance at all,” said Ryan. “They play a lot of hits. “The hammer was the edge that we needed.” Reminded that history had been unkind to Canadian curlers in semifinals of the world championship played in Switzerland, Ryan merely shrugged and said it was modern history that his team was concerned about. RECENT HISTORY “In more recent history a Canadian team has always been in the final (world champions Al Hackner in 1985, Ed Lukowich in 1986 and Russ Howard, 1987). I guess that's what we have to try and keep up with now.” OVERTIME DEFEAT Model, who comes from Zurich and was a darkhorse at the start of the tournament with little local support, became a favorite as the week progressed as he remained among the leaders. The 28-year-old student was confident his team was the best on the ice this night and few among the 3,300 at the Malley Ice Centre would disagree “T think it was one of the greatest games ever played in a world championship,” Model said. “But if you don’t win, it is a disappointment. The goal is to win and not to play a nice game.” He admitted his team was a great success story, in its first year together, “but we had high goals and this is a moment of defeat because we were the better team. “Because we weren't the one to play last rock first end. Of course Canada really merited to have won the toss in this way, but this time the better team has lost.” Flyers fall to Caps LANDOVER, MD. (CP) — Dale Huntger's goal on a breakaway at 5:57 of overtime gave the Washington Capitals a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers in the seventh and deficit. The Capitals became the fifth team in NHL history to overcome a 3-1 series The winning goal was the fourth before the period’s midway mark Galley took a backpass from Hunter and fired a slap shot past Hextall at 6:42 to get the Capitals first goal.

Inside NHL playoff hockey The average season for a National Hockey League player is comprised of numerous plane trips to metro- politain centres around the conti nent. Hotel food, bus rides to arenas and the endless bump and grind of the game itself takes its toll on the players competing What drives grown men to lace on ice skates 80 times a year for games played in 21 different cities? Money? Fame? “The playoffs,” says Steve Bozek of the St. Louis Biues. It's a crack at the Stanley Cup, that hallowed hockey honor be: stowed upon the best NHL team. The motions of an entire season are geared for making the playoffs and getting into the finals. Bozek — who is out with a bad back which he twisted in practice between games two and three in the Norris Division opening round — says once the playoffs begin the level of competition increases. “It's definitely more intense,” says the Castlegar resident. The practices are more focused The team concentrates on power plays and penalty killing because that's where games are won and lost in the playoffs. “The practices seem the same,” Bozek says. “But they're more up tempo.” Bozek says he will probably play in the next round against Detroit but adds he will be on the fourth forward line. He says he's -used mostly for killing penalties, a Sporting Views By Brendan Nagle situation he finds frustrating at times. “Sure it would be nice to be assigned to a line and play with the same two guys,” he “But right now I'm filling in. If I start scoring some goals I may get moved up.” Aside from the frustration, Bozek says he's happy playing with the Blues in any capacity. Key games are decided on any team's ability to stop a power play. The two Detroit snipers, Klima and Oates, will be tough to mark but it’s a challenge which Bozek says makes for great playoff hockey. Mental preparation for a player changes during the playoffs. There is a little more tension in the dressing room before game time. “Before the game everybody is usually on edge,” Bozek says. “But the minute you're on the ice it goes away. Once you're playing, you don’t have time to be nervous, you have to concentrate on what you went over in practice.” The Blues practice for an hour during off days and have a 25-min. uite morning skate on game-day Aside from the more intense efforts put in by the players during playoff practices, not much else changes. By the time the playoffs arrive, the team has made it by virtue of a certain style of play and to change that style for the playoffs or any one series would be a serious mistake. “At this point we got this far playing one style of hockey,” says Bozek. “To change that style for a particular team or series would be dangerous.” The team also holds strategy sessions and team meetings to discuss a plan of attack and analyze potential weaknesses in the oppos: ing team’s play. When the Blues are on the road they have a team dinner and meeting to go over all the final preparations before the game. The entire team comes together as a unit to make any final suggestions and comments on the practice and the upcoming game. With all the practicing and planning going on it’s hard to believe the players have time to fit the games in. But it's a team effort and everybody involved, from the coaches right down to the stick boy, is prepared to go the extra distance to make it to the final. Following the lengthy conver sation with the 27-year-old Castle gar native it becomes clear that the drive for the Stanley Cup is far more than just a series of games. It is more than just the bump and grind of the regular season. It’s the inexplicable allure of the glowing prize that is the Stanley Cup. “It's hard to explain,” says Bozek. “But it keeps you going.” deciding game of the NHL's Patrick Division semifinal Saturday night. Washington's Mike Gartner rap- ped a shot off the Philadelphia cross bar on a power play early in overtime. The Capitals had the best scoring chances as overtime wore on, and Hunter was sent into the clear on a pass from defenceman Larry Murphy. Hunter put a deke on goaltender Ron Hextall then placed a shot between the Philadelphia goaltender’s legs. Philadelphia had held a 3-1 lead in the series at one point, and was ahead 3-0 in the seventh game. “We took it one game at a time and won one game at a time,” said Capitals defenceman Kevin Hatcher, who was a star in the series. “We won three games in a row against the Flyers and that was quite a chore.” career playoff overtime winner for Hunter, who was obtained before the season from the Quebec Nordiques. The Flyers tied the score 4-4 on a screened shot by Brad Marsh from the left point 62 seconds after Washiagton had taken its first lead of the game with a power-play goal by Hunter 5:12 into the final period. Hunter took a centring pass from Garry Galley and fired a shot between Hextall and the left post. After falling behind 3-0 before the second period was three minutes old, Washington roared back over the next 15 minutes, tying the score 3-3 when Hatcher beat Hextall on an unscreened blue-line slap shot with 2:06 left in the period. The Capitals had pulled them selves back into the game on goals by Galley and Kelly Miller in a 1:20 span Miller pushed the puck under Hextall’s pad off a scramble to the right of the crease at 8:02. Philadelphia opened the scoring with 2:24 remaining in the first period when a pass across the crease by Tim Kerr deflected off Washington defence- man Scott Stevens and past goalie Pete Pocters for a power-play goal. Kerr's goal came after defenceman Grant Ledyard was given a five-minute penalty and a game misconduct for spearing Philadelphia's Rick Tocchet. The Flyers opened a 30 lead with goals by Brian Propp and Mark Howe 1:24 apart early in the second period. Propp knocked in a rebound after Peeters made a pad save off a blue-line slap shot by defenceman Kjell Samuel- sson with the two teams skating 4-on-4. Howe beat Peeters with a wrist shot from the left faceoff circle off a give-and-go with Kerr. TORONTO (CP) — Hockey fans in most major markets in Canada will likely receive daily TV coverage of the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, but the picture won't be completely clear until Monday CBC has announced it will show the Montreal-Boston series on its full national networks, both English and French, beginning Monday. On Tuesday, the Edmonton-Cal gary series begins and will mostly be shown on a temporary national network strung together by Carling O'Keefe brewers, holders of the TV rights to that series. Both series are best-of-seven games and will appear on alternate nights. Carling spokesman Ron Simpson said the company is waiting until Monday to announce the full list of broadcasters arranged for Edmont ton-Calgary but added: “We will cover every major market.” Simpson admitted, however, that coverage in Montreal will be in French only on the Quatre Saisons network. Ontario's Global TV network, meanwhile, has said it will carry the Edmonton-Calgary series in On tario. ON CBC In Edmonton and Calgary, where rival brewer Molson controls local broadcast rights, the Oilers-Flames Playoff hockey televised daily for second round series will appear on CBC as Hockey Night in Canada broadcast. A CBC spokesman said the Wind: sor area, where the Global signal is weak, will also see the Oilers Flames on CBC. Carling also controls the Detroit St. Louis series while Molson controls the series between New Jersey and the winner of Saturday's game between Washington and Philadelphia. These series could be broadcast after the series involving Canadian teams are over. The Sports Network, Canada’s sports-only Pay-TV station that carried the Edmonton-Winnipeg first round series, will not cover any second round playoff series. JAYS LOSE Toronto in the hole TORONTO (CP) Timely hits have been as rare for the Minnesota Twins this season as balmy April days in Toronto. Gary Gaetti came through on Saturday, though. Leading off the eighth inning, Gaetti hit a home run off reliever David Wells to give the Minnesota Twins a 3-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday after. noon. “knew I hit it good enough to get out on a normal day,” said Gaetti. “But some balls were hit out to centre today that I thought would go out “The wind was blowing in from left and putting a down spin on the ball. I didn't know if it would make it.” Gaetti’s homer, his second, sliced through a 20 kilometres-an-hour wind that thoroughly chilled the crowd of 26,095 who braved 6 C temperatures. “We're in a bind right now,” said Wells, 1-1. “The breaks aren't going our way. “Hopefully, we'll come out of it tomorrow. When we do, we'll get our hits.” The Blue Jays, 4-7, have lost four in a row and seven of the last nine Toronto blew a chance to tie the game in the eighth when George Bell doubled off reliever Juan Berenguer, 12. Pinch hitter Ernie Whitt popped out on a 3.0 pitch, but Bell moved to third on a wild pitch with Jesse Bar field at the plate. Barfield struck out, Berenguer walked Leach intentionally and then Jeff Reardon came in to get Kelly Gruber on an infield fly. Reardon also worked the ninth to pick up his fourth save of the season. ‘This is a big confidence builder because they're a good hitting team,” said Reardon. “You've really got to concentrate against a team like this because they've got a lot of big guns and you can't make a mistake.” “Reardon pitched out of the thing,” said Twins manager Tom Kelly “The pitchers have to fight till the breaks start coming our way.” Toronto left 10 runners on base three on third. Lloyd Moseby struck out four times, on three occasions with runners in scoring position. Minnesota tied the game 2-2 in the sixth when Gaetti led off with a single off Mark Eichhorn, moved to second on a grounder and scored on Tom Brun. ansky’s single to left Eichhorn allowed four hits and a run in 4.1 innings and was relieved by Wells with none out in the seventh Toronto went up 2-1 off starter Frank Viola in the fifth when Juan Beniquez's blooper deflected off right fielder Brunansky's glove and rolled to the wall for a three-base error “I had a good day but it doesn’t matter a hill of beans,” said Gruber. “It was cold but it didn't make a whole lot of difference to them. jomeone's going to come out on top. It’s just a matter of survival Tim Laudner walked with the bases loaded and two out in the second to force in the Twins’ first run. Rookie Todd Stottlemyre walked Ken Hrbek on four pitches to start the inning, then took a one-hopper by Gaetti off the forearm on his pitching arm. Randy Bush singled and Brun- ansky walked to load the bases. With two out, laudner worked to a 3-1 count, fouled off three fastballs and then drew the walk NOTES — A preliminary exam. ination conducted by Dr. Ron Taylor indicated Stottlemyre suffered a bruise on the right forearm Nelson Liriano, batting .077 left-handed and 294 right-handed for a .163 average, was bumped Saturday from the leadoff spot to the bench.
