The Russians are coming By Red Fisher Only a blink in time since the Cal gary Flames won their first Stanley Cup all sorts of questions are being raised about what the 198990 season holds in store for the National Hockey League and its teams Wis Calgarys No 1 overall finish n the NHL last season points and its Stanley Cup triumph In six games over the No Montreal Cana dians points the start of another mitddynasty For that matter how many if any of last seasons four NHL division winners will successfully defend their titles Smythe Division Calgary Division Detroit Red Wings 80 points Adams Division Mon treal and Patrick Division Wash Capitals 92 points Even while the NHL talks in care ful measured terms about expansion two or three years down the line does it make sense to add teams when sev eral of the incumbents are still strug gling fitfully to stay alive Fran chises such as Minnesota and Winnipeg for example For now an easier question is sim ply who will be the successors to the stars who won last seasons top NHL awards Those 198889 winners Hart Trophy most valuable play er Wayne Gretiky Los Angeles Trophy top Chris Montreal Trophy top goaltender Patrick Roy Montreal Calder Trophy rookie of the year Brian New York Rangers Lady Byng Trophy ship and skill Joe Mullen Calgary Selke Trophy top defensive for ward Guy Montreal The 73rd NHL season begins on Thursday Oct But perhaps the hot test question wont be answered until the 80game schedule for 198990 is history Its this How will the first massive Infusion of superstar talent from the Soviet Union affect the league Is this the start of something good Until late last season when Cal announced that left winger Ser gei a fringe member of the Soviet national team had been al lowed to join the Flames the had firmly resisted the NHL Now and then Russia had left the door slightly ajar only to slam it shut The league had despaired of ever signing any of that communist coun try s talent Suddenly the floodgates have opened out for center Igor ana winger Vladimir twothirds of the Soviet national teams best line Its third member and best player right winger Sergei Makarov joined the Stanley Cup Flames Goal- tender serge Mylnikov became a member of the Quebec Nordiques But The Russians Are Coming The Russians Are Coming isnt without its price Makarov for example signed a contract calling for with the Flames Another went to the Soviet Ice Hockey Federation So the investment by NHL teams in Soviet talent has been formidable all the more so since it is certain to raise the salary level of

Hawks ready to soar By Red Fiiher The best team in the Norm Division last season Detroit played no better than hockey 34- 3412 And common sense dictates that a similar record will probably win the division again But the Red Wings wont repeat The predicted order of finish in the NHL Division in 1 Chicago St Louis Blues 3 Detroit Red Wings Minne sota North Stars Toronto Maple Leafs The CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS points struggled fitfully last season but then caught fire in the playoffs to eliminate Detroit and St Louis The reason head coach Mike Keenaiu He was a winner in Philadelphia After lashing the tattered Black hawks into a playoff winner should now be able to burst from the starting block Hes a coach teams love to hate but eventually he con vinces his players how much they should hate to lose A big plus for Chicago is starting the year with goaltender Alain who was the biggest reason for the teams lateseason success Eachyear it seems the ST LOUIS BLUES points last season cate themselves to scratching and clawing through the regular schedule All the more so since Brian Sutter took over as head coach a year ago The new season is not likely to be different although the Blues were genuinely strengthened during the offseason They acquired defensive forward Adam Oates and highscor ing right winger Paul MacLean from Detroit for veterans Benue Federko and Tony McKegney This team is strong in the nets and it should be better on defense starting the season with former Mon treal defenseman Mike The DETROIT RED WINGS fell to 80 points last season largely because serious brushes with the law kept Bob and Petr out of the lineup for most of the way Now Pro bert is gone and Klima at left wing is a question mark Federko and McKegney have arrived from St Lou is But can center Steve match his 65 goals and assists last Once a productive and rich fran chise the MINNESOTA NORTH STARS 70 points showed small signs of recovery in They finished third and made the playoffs again af ter missing them for two years The coaching now Pierre Page is solid But in the absence of a strong leader the North Stars continue to face formidable hurdles en route to becoming contenders Their No 1 overall draft choice center Mike Modant who didnt sign with the team until late last season could help The TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS 62 points last season made additions Rob from Calgary and right winger Lou from Washington during the offseason But the Maple Leafs remain a disaster Tbeir general manager Gord resigned after his expertise was questioned publicly by owner Harold Ballard Also
