uumum HOCKEY FANS bereabcmtl ave probably been wondering at has happened to the once lying bani Etyers my short Guidolin Mesas Woods and Widdrington are to be commended for building the tteam from one that barely inucewd Into the playoffs last Iyenr to one that led the league until last weekend They fulfulcd their end of the lbargain if indeed that is the Iway toput it Especially hlr Shortwho put

FlycrsBellevillc game on Sunday knew something was TOIIE Timbers just didnt scam to be with it TIIEIIE ARE all sorts of theories floating around about what has happened to the team One is that the cutting of cer tain players at the end of Dec ember hurt morale Another is that thc players arent gelling enough icc lime which cuts into their playing ability Yet another is the guys arent producing the way they can Few admit it but there is nothing short of miracle that will put the Flych into first place Call HorneLs have three games In hand and there is little doubt they will knock off what little opposition lies in their way to the league title They have finished their scr ies with the Flyers losing four of the five games they played Against Barrie Another theory not mentioned above is that the lines are not set snLhe guys know what to aspect of their centremen or wingers This is probably true to cer tain extent you get to know where to throw tile puck and what to expect of your line mater Probably the main problem la that the players know they wont finish first so they are Slang it easy until the play GOOD LUCK Flyers One sure way of getting nowhere is to slackoff for while
