squad were intimidated by the reputations of the Canadian players their boisterous sup porters in the stands and by the small Civic Centre rink FOUR LINES HELPED Martin said the Canadian team played well especially be cause it used four forward lines Playing four lines is usually difficult but everyone played fast and came off soon enough to get the other players back in the game That way ev eryone was still warm but fresh Each team is allowed to dress 20 players 18 skaters and two goaltenders NHL teams are allowed 17 skaters and two goalies meaning they usually rely on three forward lines Bowman said using four lines and three pairs of defencemen helped account for the high score but it allowed Team Can ada to keep up fast pace But the quick style of tournament play means well need four lines so well miss Clarke if his injury puts him out Although Finland were scorc less in the second period it tur ned the forechecking tables on the Canadians several times for some of the games most ex citing moments But their third period performance was Hat and Team Canada scored five goals Starting Finnish goaltender Antti Leppanen was replaced after the first three goals by Markus Mattsson and while he gave up eight scores Mattsson made numerous brilliant saves often after his defence seemed to have fallen apart The tw0 goalies faced 42 Team Canada shots while Rogatien Vachon played the whole game in the Canadian net having to handle only 24 Fin nish shots many of them easy saves Rain hits her games ahead US tennis open FOREST HILLS NY AP Swedish sensation Bjorn Borg and
