10 The Barrie Examiner Thursday February 24 1977 SPORTSCORNERS Colts need team effort By RANDY MCDONALD Examiner Sports Editor Lorne Knowles has favorite saying When the going gets tough the tough get going The going is tough ri ht now for the coach of the Barrie Colts Junior Hockey Clu Barrie is down 10 in semifinal series with Oak Ridges Colts are hurting heading into tonights game at the Barrie Arena and maybe just maybe not really in the mood to play the kind of hockey needed to beat the Jewellers Oak Ridges coach Pete Artemchuk built winning club around speed disciplined passing and Steve Sherman secondyear player who when the final scoring statistics became public should be nudging 100 points for the season Against club like Oak Ridges youve got to play 60 minutes of hockey This was manager Jim Shorts recollec tion from earlier meetings between the teams Colts havent been able to do it Injuries to key personnel prevent any cohesion on the part of the Colts heading into the playoffs Colts are still not up to snuff Brad MacDonald is doubt ful starter for tonight His knee injury has kept him out of thelast three games BOB COLLSON clubs stronger performers Hake and BobToffan This is whats killing boom theyve got goal things We dont really have one or two standouts as result we need everybody working he said FLYERS HAVE FEW INJURED AS WELL Barrie Flyers are also feeling the pinch of the injury bug at most inappropriate time Flyers move into Cambridge tonight to open bestofseven playoff series with the Hornets series ROBBIE RALPH Sly said Bob Monteith was another doubtful starter The rugged forward missed check in Cambridge and hit the boards bruising his shoulder Carleton bruised his hip in the same game but is expected to dress tonight Flyers appear strong on defence and healthy in goal Sly said Ernie Miller would probably start tonight after his ef Colts would have liked to have acquired the services of few players from the Barrie Allan Cook juveniles The BMHA team is deep in playoff worries of their own and doesnt want to take the chance of injury to some of the Paul Delaney who is apparently in limbo with the juveniles will likely dress with the Colts tonight With Turner back the Colts will have nine forwards and four defencemen to throw out in front of goaltenders Hal Knowles feels the Colts are capable of defeating ak Ridges if they get stronger team effort us We tend to let dovm little in each period he said Everytime we relax even bit Our downfall is that were not ready when the game starts and were behind by then You got to hockey Youjust cant go for 50 or 45 he added Knowles said the injury situation isnt helping any but felt stronger effort on the part of the club would help balance Injuries could shake down the effectiveness of the clubs most potent line Gary Lyte one of several Flyers injured in closely contested game Saturday with the same Hornets Lyte twisted his knee and has it in cast Playingcoach Darryl Sly expects the winger to miss the early part of the Defenceman Colin Wilson is still doubtful said Knowles Colts will have Jamie Turner back for tonights game after serving histwogamesuspension Im not hopeful Knowles said of his walking injured seeing action tonight Wilson dressed for Mon days opener in Oak Ridges but didnt play MacDonald is very doubtful said Knowles Captain Bob Coulson is playing with an injured shoulder Hes hurting acknowledged Knowles but hell still be playing play 60 minutes of Jon Hammond the last Flyer to sign filled in Sun day along side Paul Regan and Phil Branston and came up with two goals against Lindsay Flyers are starting to get mileage out of the newcomers Robbie Ralph filled in at centre for Bill Burlington against Cam bridge the line caught fire Sly said Burlington was sitting out misconduct penalty at the time He apparently be came upset when his centre position never reopened Burlington skipped sunlt days game and two
