Islanders
By United Press International
Supporting players took over
the spotlight in Stanley Cup
Playoff action Tuesday night as
one semifinal matchup began
with a surprise, then ended as
expected, while the other
continued to be a surprise.
Philadelphia backup goalie
Wayne Stephenson, pressed into
emergency service when regu
lar netminder Bemie Parent
suffered a knee injury during
the warmup for the opening
game of the Flyers’ best-of
seven series with New York,
turned in a top performance,
shutting out the Islanders, 4-0.
“Only the Lord saves more
than Bemie Parent,’’ read a
sign at rinkside, but Stephenson
somehow had saved up a great
game sitting on the bench all
season. He spurned all 21 shots
in only his third playoff
appearance.
“Once I got the first shot, I
got myself into the game,”
Stephenson said, admitting the
shutout was “the biggest thrill
of my career.’’
Don Saleski opened the
scoring in the first period. Bill
Barber pushed in a rebound in
front of the net in the second
period and then Bobby Clarke
added a short-handed goal later
in the period which virtually
put the game away against a
team that may still be in shock
after the big upset of the
Penguins that got them a trip
across the state to Philadel
phia. The Flyers added their
final goal in the third period on
a power play score by Rick
MacLeish.
In Buffalo the high-scoring
“French Connection” line was
temporarily contained by Mon
treal’s high-speed chase but the
Sabres made a clean escape as
their second line, centered by
Don Luce, picked up the slack
and the Sabres continued to
outplay the favored Canadiens.
The Luce line, winged by
Craig Ramsay and Danny
Gare, scored three goals as
Buffalo defeated Montreal, 4-2,
and took a 2-0 lead in their
best-of-seven semifinal.
“This team is really balan
ced,” Ramsay said. “The
connection played a great game
last time and this time it was
our turn. We feel we want to do
it every night but tonight was
our turn to come up big.”
