PAGE 6 TERRACE BAY NEWS MARCH 27, 1974 SPORTS SLANTS - By Ray Shank Montreal Canadiens showed a spark of life a couple of weeks ago when they nosed out New York Rangers 4-2 at the Forum.

You might remember that the big hero in the Montreal win over the Manhatten Blueshirts == when it counted most -- was Pete (Peter Puck, they call him now) Mahovlich. The big (6'5") left winger scored two goals to up his season total to 34, I think. Up until that important win over the Rang- ers, the Canadiens had been having their prob- lems, having lost three straight (9-2 to Rangers, 6-0 to Philadelphia and 4-3 to Cali- fornia) games. One thing you probably didn't know is that the fellow who fired up the Montrealers for that crucial game against the Rangers wasn't even a member of the team. Remember John Ferguson? That's right, the same John Ferguson who played for Canadiens just a few years ago and the guy who was rated the NHL's heavyweight fighting champ. Nobody, but nobody ran the Canadiens out of a rink when Fergie played. He had the fastest dukes in hockey and every opposing team knew it. Most everyone who got brave and tangled with Ferguson would usually end up getting carried 4 off on a stretcher, or at least with a few : stitches. Fergie had been the analyst on a Montreal TV station the night the Canadiens got whomped by New York 9-2. It made him mad to see his former teammates take such a slaughtering ---- and he promptly let his anger be aired by sportswriters who talked to him after the game. Naturally it was in the Montreal papers the next day. . "Rookies like Gerry Butler taking runs at everyone on the ice and Vic Hadfield running at Chuck Lefley and no one does anything about it?" Fergie spat. "Teams have been waiting for years for this day, and now the Canadiens are letting it happen ... I don't believe it," Fergie complain -ed. "What's Pete Mahovlich trying to do, win the Lady Byng Trophy? He's playing great hock- ey, but he's playing polite hockey. I was at the Los Angeles Kings game when Pete hit a guy with his stick and he went over and apologized to him after the play. I couldn't believe it. Don't apologize to him, even if it was an accident. Tell him you'll take his head off the next time, if anything." Fergie, in his Montreal newspaper comments, also complained about other Canadiens who should be throwing their weight around. He ! was disturbed by the passiveness of Steve Shutt continued page 7 ...cc..n
