I Fr Nov S Sabres stun champs return match Fri wrttl Denis Gibbons Bradford Vasey fans demonstrated their respect for Sabres leading scorer Gary Sunday night by dumping Coke all over him That is after he had changed the tide of the game by taking on Bradford bruiser Ted Vaiey and was sitting in the penalty box with his back turned And what Is more unfortunate Sabres will have to play without one of the best and moat courageous players In the league for the next two months because he now has a broken thumb and a cast on his right arm up to the elbow All this neednt have happened except that Vasey was using his stick for a shillelagh all night the same way tie did in this league last year Turk was speeding towards the Bradford net for what would have been the first Acton goal when Vasey cut him down with a high stick The action of some Bradford fans was deplorable said Sabre coach Dave The referees intend to note it on the game sheet Nor did a little thievery by some Bradford youngsters who swiped Doug Pattens stick go un noticed It was a bitter pill for Vasey fans to swallow I suppose only their second defeat on home ice in games The line of Dale Fisher Doug Patten and Bert Osborne three husky forwards who can match anybody in the league in the rough going served lots of notice Sunday that Acton Sabres will not be pushed around this year Sabres themselves are being penalized less and enjoying it more this season as theyve now run their unbeaten streak to seven games They have the lowest PIM total in the league so far Hitting and hockey are compatible but hacking and hockey just dont mix well After Sunday night big win seats under the new heaters should at a premium in the com mumty centre Friday night when Sabres and square off in a rematch We will not make the
