past six winters since Acton Sabres in troduction into the Jr loop ill Thunder birds have been under the roof of the Com unity Centre This season the only winning streak hapless Sabres have been able to keep unless a twogamer counts was this one Friday night Sabres trade mark of sporadic play ended even this streak as T Birds beat Acton It the same old story there s not enough when we need it explained Russian Sabres are also lacking solid net minding when they need it In the first period keeper Lcs Williams was colder than the ice ho was playing on He faced shots and allowed five goals In the second frame Williams stopped eight of the ten pucks fired his way The third period was the same result as the goalie blocked three of the six shots aimed his way Coach Russian feci the blame should rest on the ex Brampton Jr A tender but on his bum knee and some bum defence Mainly his knee just wasn functioning the way It should but once he loosened up he play too badly The defence Is allowing good quality shots too without any interference they re hard to stop With the small size of the arena once you step over the blue line you re not far from the net said the coach Birds Jumped to a 5 i lead by the end of the first frame By the end of the next period Sabres were down By the final stanza Acton finally decided to play hockey opening the scoring Just seconds into the third put another in the mark Birds came back with a pair and Sabres ended the scoring with a short handed tally Paul Stark had two of Sabres goals and an assist Don Gaudrejult and Dave McGilloway goal each Dennis Charbonneau Ken and Tony had two assists each and had one Russian is beginning a policy of benching anyone who he feels t playing smart hockey I don know what else to do I exhausted everything

ranks feels the boy could be a addition to Sabres roster The boy has quit hockey this but pract with Sabres Monday and should be out next week as well d the boy wants to play for Sabres but Isn I sure if he wants to spend another winter playing hockey If these shakeups don t start work then Ac ton Sabres will be getting out the golf clubs while there s still on the ground It s going to be early retirement this year the way these boys have been playing said the coach The coach might not be over joyed to finish this season In mid February but then he ing too much last night cither Between his
