Isles' discipline key to win

By GRANT KERR VANCOUVER (CP) — New York Islanders are making

excellent NHL goaltender.”

when he faked a passout from ‘the end boards, circled the

Vancouver net and stuffed a shot from a sharp angle into the

it easy for Kelly Hrudey to break into the National Hockey League successfully.

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

In the first loss, Stephen Junker scored the only goal unassisted.

“We can take a tip from them and understand why they win most of their games," " he said. “They came to work and it rubs off on everyone.”

Vancouver coach Roger Neilson was puzzled by the lack of production from his power play, which earlier in the season was the best in the league.

“Our team felt we could have won and should have won,” added Neilson. “But we keep coming up empty on the power play.”

“Do cee believe that call?” Gifford managed to say between giggles before regaining his composure.

“These guys are just awful, just awful, and the play selection is a disgrace,” Cosell moaned during a game.

“Why don't you say that on the air, Howard?” Gifford suot back.

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.

DIRECTS PROGRAM

Catherine Kozub, a fourth- year business’ student at Laurier, is director of the campus program BACCHUS, or Boost Alcohol Conscious- ness Concerning the Health of University Students.

The program, a chapter of a Florida-based organization, is run for less than $1,500 a year and offers seminars, films and dinners — with wine, in -moderation, of course — to discuss the ef- fects of excessive drinking.

“Tve heard some pubs on other campuses really em- barrass people who order a ‘non-alcoholic drink,” she says. “They serve it in a big special ‘glass’ so everyone knows you're drinking _straight pop.

“That's ‘exactly’ the sort of 3 thing that keeps up the pres- sure to drink.”

Other social practices, such asa group of students buying drinks in rounds, encourage excessive drinking, some campus spokesman say.

By 1932 when Franklin Roosevelt was elected U.S. president, promising among other things to bring back drink, the United States was openly disregarding the law.

PASS AMENDMENT.

In January 1938, one month before the U.S. Congress passed the repeal amendment and sent it to the states for. ratification, the Chicago Tribune reported:

“In Milwaukee the price of brewery beer is 15 cents for

a 10-ounce stein, and the doors of all saloons are open to all * comers. Before. Prohibition beer was 10 cents for a 10-ounce stein, 15 cents for a 12-ounce bottle.

And where drinking had once‘been confined to the all-male saloon, it moved to the speakeasy where men and women both imbibed and where today’s cocktail lounge had its birth.

Even after repeal, Americans found bootleg booze a

. hard habit to break.

A ’year after repeal federal officials reported that drinkers were still buying 35 million gallons of illegal whisky ‘a year. It took years of raids and enforcement to largely remove moonshine from the land.

’ AFFECTS WINE

Prohibition nearly finished off the U.S. wine industry. Those vintners who survived did so by turning out sweet altar wine or by resorting to bootlegging. Today Americans consume 2.21 gallons of wine per person, 28th highest in the world.

Before Prohibition there were 1,700 brewing companies in the United States. After repeal just 700 breweries re-opened. Today, the U.S. Brewers Association says there are 45 U.S. companies operating 88 breweries.

In Colonial times Americans were heavy drinkers — consuming about 7.1 gallons of absolute alcohol per person per year.
