had two playoff games last spring expected to play about 25 Awrey little fed up but keeps giving his all MONTREAL AP Don Awrey skates hard and works hard when Montreal Canadiens practise though he admits hes sick and tired of practising and sick and tired of playing hockey But he keeps giving his all because its the only time the 32yearold defenceman is getting on the ice these days The last time he played for Montreal was March 27 and he says the last time coach Scotty Bowman talked to him was March 28 That was six weeks ago and Awrey though he isnt injured vstill doesnt know why have no idea whats wrong said Awrey who was traded to the Canadiens by St lnuis Blues during the 197475 season After sitting out the March game in Boston Awrey slightly injured his knee in practice was all set to go when we had that week off because we drew bye into the quarterfi nals he recalled figured was going to play against Chicago in the quarters but when came into the dressing room the trainer said No youre not dressing Now the only time he wears the Montreal uniform is in practice and he doesnt know why Sure Id like to know but Im not going to ask them management and theres no sense in their coming to me now and telling me why havent played They should have told me then At their last conversation Bowman had said he wanted to keep his four forward lines together afd play with five defencemen because basically we dont play well with six defencemen Important game tonightin WHA HARTFORD Conn AP The surprising New England Whalers and the defending Houston Aeros face off agan

be playing 25 or 30 games You know it just never really worked out But this season with Parent injured much of the year Stephenson played 3819 minutes and has been in the Flyers nets since the second game of their fivegame semifinal against Boston Bruins after Parent played the first eight Philadelphia playoff games WAS TALK There was good deal of talk that the Flyers would not do as well with Stephenson playing full time this year as they had done last year That was there all year Stephenson said Many people figured that we werent going to do that well think the highlight for me was the team did as well as it did We ended up in first in our division and second in overall points Youve got to look atthat was personally dis pointed that wasnt osen to start the playoffs But thats the coachs decision Hes the one who has to answer for it My own personal disappointment you have to put ttat behind you and think of the team Stephenson was still not sure Monday afternoon if he was going to be in the nets tonight although Shero told reporters he was definitely going to stick with the 31 yearold native of Fort William Ont He played well Sunday night Shero said He Do Something About
