These statistic do include the weekend gomes In the Natioml Hockey League the top 12 teams and goals for goal against differences arc 1 Montreal Buffalo 174 New York Islanders Boston Philadelphia 79 Toronto 7 Chicago 6 Atlanta Los Angeles 18 Pittsburgh t and New York Hangers Tlnre arc actually only which an In the same place in the as their place in ihc plus minus They arc Montreal Toronto and Detroit Buffalo is only team which Is a major rule The Sabres arc In second place but have only hi fifth best goals for against record The standings according lo goals for goals against records arc I Montreal New York Islanders 3 Boston 4 Buffalo Toronlo 7 Los Angeles J York Atlanta 12 theory is dead on for the World Hockey Association standings The standings and their goals for goals against

rule The top eight clubs and their differences ore 011owa84 Peterborough London 4 Windsor Hamilton Kingston and Kitchener 3 The standings for just the goals for goals against records would read Ottawa London Hamilton 4 Windsor Peterborough 7 Kitchener and Kingston There were many Raider fans who thought Doug Barnes who has Joined the team from the Gemini was the best player on Ihc ice during Ihe win over Thorold Friday night Barnes scored three goals although he saw only part lime work He also scored a goal In his first game against the Port Sailors on Tuesday night 11 appeared lo this spectator Barnes Is mora at ease in Intermediate A hockey than he was in junior a MARCH 19TH Boer s Movers vs 10 Motors 12 Sandhill Sports if beat Tony Panned Barnes is a nifty player who relies more on fines and skating than he does on muscle or In Ju him down He was also the Gems only prolific scorer so Ihe could keep a special watch on him With the Raiders Barnes is playing on a team that includes the likes of Tom Daley Jun and Ray Evans so cannot concentrate on defensing against Barnes alone The Raiders are also a team cannot be They have players such as Daley ArlWebsier and Bob Ehnesky who are all big and strong ind not too many players are willing lo challenge them Therefore the rest of the Raiders also gel more skating With Ihe Gems Barnes was one of the oldest and biggest players on the team he acted as a sort of policeman as well us top shooter for the Gems With the Raiders Barnes can concentrate on scoring and setting up nd leave he fisticuffs lo Webster and who arc much better at it anyway Ricky Becker also made his debut as a Raider at Arena on Friday He alternated with Barnes on a line wilh Doug Talc and Bob His style reminded me very much of Norm who used to bo the Leafs Becker does not possess the greatest speed In the world but ho always seems be where the puck is and he is also an excellent play maker His style of play seems compliment Tate style very Tale looked better on Friday night than he has in a long time It was Mark Twain the American who said Reports of my death have been grossly I couldn thinking atat Quote when I saw Collq Gordon back In uniform for the on Monday night Last week a story appeared in paper which slated hat Gordon days a Raider may nave been through Apparently he hashed things with coach Juiior Tlhhlits on nlflht before ihe game against the Mavericks Gordon did not dress for that game was back In action against the Thorold Monday Apparently Art Webster plans lo head for Victoria British Columbia for the coming lacrosse season have fallen through Webster who played for Ihe Brampton Excelsiors last year was going lo move to The Excelsiors give him his release Ha was planning to live In Victoria year round and would not have been back as a Raider next year The lough winger In hockey who plays defense In lacrosse said he prefers the latter sport He says lacrosses Is much faster and rougher than hockey Webster Ellneaky have lo be considered most aggressive players on the Raiders They look Ihc pari Ellncsky is tall and big and Webster is short and big However right behind them In Ihe aggressive depart has lobe Bob He t look part He nay be the smallest player on the Raider roster he at opponents and Is involved in as many as any other Raiders He has faired well In most of them
