OK, so that's hardly news to anyone who follows the Ontario Hockey League on a regular basis, but the point has been hammered home once again by the Os- hawa Generals. A couple of weeks ago, there was a sombre mood around the club, with coach and general manager George Burnett Burnett criticizing his team for "underachieving "underachieving big time," following a weekend weekend of undisciplined play which produced produced just a single tie in three outings. Since then, the Generals have responded responded by winning four of live games, including a playoff-style 1-0 win over the Kingston Frontenacs Sunday before another large crowd of 3,762 fans at the Civic Auditorium. Not-so-coincidenlally, Oshawa's improved improved results come during a stretch when the Generals are playing more responsibly responsibly from a discipline standpoint, something that has been their downfall often this season. "I think it's ongoing, it's something that has to be reminded on a regular basis, but 1 think we are making better decisions. The guys that xvc were concerned concerned about arc making an honest effort effort to just play when it's important to just play," says Burnett. 'They've been (physically) involved, jPlay It (Again (tied ; The Claring- <ton Play It Again (Toros have •evened their ÏLakcshore (-League atom A (series against • Pickering at one (win each. ( In the opening vgame of the six- xpoint series, Andrew Andrew McCann (had a goal and assist assist in a 3-2 loss. ■(Colin Topping..

Roberts and (McCann scored, /with Lucus Pear- vson picking up an (assist. but when they arc involved, it's not at the point of extras (penalties) and lengthy penalties and suspensions and we hope that continues. Those arc the types of decisions decisions that we need to be a good playoff playoff team and to finish where we'd like to finish over ihesc last 13 games (of the regular season)." Sunday's victory puts the Generals in third place in the Eastern Conference seedings, a position they'd like to retain since Ottawa holds a 16-point cushion atop both the East division and the conference conference and second place in the conference conference automatically goes to the Central division champions. Another impressive aspect of Oshawa's Oshawa's strong play of lale is its defensive work, surrendering just nine goals in the past five games, with Chris Beckford- Tseu recording two shutouts. "It's tough to argue with the way he's going right now," Burnett said after Bcckford-Tseu made 20 stops for his fourth shutout of the season. "It's probably difficult when you don't face a lot of shots to be sharp, but he's standing tall and it's pretty tough not to have him in there right now." The sophomore has made 11 straight starts in goal and lowered his goals against average to 3.13, while increasing his save percentage to .894. GENERALLY SPEAKING: Nathan Horton scored the decisive goal Sunday at 5:09 of the third period, ruining Peter Ilamerlik's shutout bid. The Kingston netminder made 31 saves. . .The Generals are in Brampton Thursday Thursday (7 p.m.), host Barrie Friday (7:35 p.m.) and Ottawa Saturday afternoon (2 p.m.). All games are on AM-1350.
