SPECTATOBS OPINIONS Friday night If reporter and about 200 other hockey tans went to pcctlve Barrie Flyers and maybe couple future Boston Bruins eral ill the persons and asked their opinions of the game Not single one would admit that the game didnt have them on the edge of their seats on at least it occasions Several forgot the exhibi iinn lag altogether and roundly cheered the good plays and sulked at the noisegood lnovcs Again all were In agreement that this was one of the finest lnt squad games played in long while and that some of the lads have ready endeared themselves to the fanatics The fans who sat In on all of the Flyors home games last year gal an extra big boost from the play of Rob Blackburn lllackie as is more commonly hailed is knock em down drag tm out type oi player Last winter the club had no man who even played close to that style it anyone kept track of the number of boys Biackle slammed lo the ire were sure that the count would have reached and surplssed I5 Then add the number of fellows who were crashed into the boards by tilt seriousminded Northern Ontario hustler ll warnt lust blackles robust checking that mide the tans happy cililtr even thouin it would have becn enough They liked also the way he handled the puck No player on the ice had llic disc on iii stick its ollcn or as long as llnb Tlllrre wasnt defender who stopped ns nnmy plays tin at first sight the plctur of one defencemln Bob Blackburn lnuks rosy However the question was asked How will lilackie look in regular contest21 For an rnswrr we up turn the clock back in the playoffs oi 1957 when the locals met the St Catharines Teelfles The standout Flycl in that sories was this same Blackburn in fact great many observers staunchly insisted that Hidekie was the best manrun either Club And if any ul you want even greater proof then beat In mind that llap Emms was one oi the men who labhcd him the best of the series Need more proof Okay At least two months ago Hap let it be pull licly known that Blackburn had already made the team Why Because llap knew what Blackie was made of lie knew that the kid wanted to play hockey He knew of thc Iads talents So what more need he Silltl While nirtkie did come In ior most of the praise aftcr Fridays ex citing exhibition others were not entirely exempt Still another rear nliiird Ed Westfall of Oshawa stole some of the limelight Eddie is ftiv years younger than Blackburn and not nearly as polished However in Fridays game few opposing pinyers beat him out or the luck in the corners Westfall is digger Hes in the game loo per cent We dont think were sticking our neck out at all when we predict that hell be wearing the Barrie Flyers livery fur the next several months not to mention the next few years Jim Beckmln hardworking winger from Haiilax who piaved last year with Lakeshore Bruins also drew montion from the approached their okay to the Work of Bernard Cote Oliver They alsogayxe llla soneuvo lion nrriage Allan Crossland Laurent Palcnlent and Jilck Colo In the tans eyes these were the primary standouts We are not Illi ill to condradict or agree Bv illr Emms own admission however some of the aforementioned will definitely please the fans all winter Alliinst overlooked by the snectaoars were the goaltenders Normnn Jacques Aurie Jelly and Walter Adair All of the three had puck go past them All made some good stops Jacques in the opinion of tile haying customers made the better saves showing great form on close in lIies The shots on goal of the ganu were something like 34 for the red riJLl Flyers squad arid 31 for the darkvtlad Cubs this indicating thll the bays know where the net is It few of the boys who the fans looked forward to seeing rfllildnt show line to the flu however the fans merely added them to the cre dit side of the 195758 Flyers and hinted that maybe theyd better hurry and pick up tlrnse substriiirrs seats JUST NOTES This reporter was in Varsity Stadium Saturday after noon when
