watching public Nope just Leaf practice after 62 win over Minnesota North Stars in Wednesday night game The Leaf practice attended with my younger sister Sarah who took the photos while took notes and did interviews wasnt held in Pal Hals Harold Ballard Maple Leaf Gardens The practice was out at North York Centennial Arena because rds were being placed on the ice at the Gardens for concert that night LIGHT PRACTICE The practice was light the usual the day after game It went for about an hour and half consisting of several shooting drills and wind sprints to finish off the practice One drill that emphasized both speed and players ability to backcheck started with two players down in the comer for exam ple Lanny MacDonald against Rocky Saganiuk MacDonald started about two feet ahead of Saganiuk with the puck Coach Floyd Smith blew the whistle and both players took off facing down the length of the ice MacDonald was trying to keep ahead of Saganiuk and get good shot on the goaltender in that case Paul Har rison while Saganiuk tired to backcheck fMacDonaId and prevent him from getting good shot away The drill is effective because it emphasizes two talents that most good players possessgood skating ability Cand the ability to backcheck effectively Even at this light practice Smiths em phasis on offence was evident Nearly every drill featured shooting be it three on one slap shots from the blueline or two or three passes in pattern and then shot After the practice talked to Smith about coaching the Leafs BIG GAME AGAINST STARS Its never going as good as you would Iike it to be said Smith when asked about Leafs progress so far this season But last night against Minnesota we came up with bit game was very happy with our effort in that game We did things we wanted to

Arena last week Examiner sports writer Cathy Heather found the Leafs to be very loose and said Barrie native Dan Maloney is very pleased with his start Ex aminer Photo by Sarah Heather ticipated We also had exceilent scoring changes Smith says that the five rookies on the team are playing very well In fact this creates problembecause some of the younger players are Playing so well the Leafs are carrying three players over the limit Which means trade in the near future Well have to do something about it some time was all Smith would say about any trade Smith is optimistic about the Leafs and feels that they have chance to win the div1 start pleases Maloney sion if they can accumulate at least 100 pomts by the end of the season He also feels that having an assistant coach Dick Duff is plus because of Duffs dedication One veteran who was also optimistic about the way things especially his own playing has progressed is Dan Maloney native of Barrie Maloney had just come off twogoal performance and against Min nesota when spoke to him Last night worked out pretty good for me and the team said Maloney It was game we really needed we have bit of rivalry going with Minnesota since theyre in our own division Ive been shooting the puck more this year commented Maloney in partial ex planatiOn of his improved offensive game worked on my shot lot But still think the Leafs will benefit from the defence Roger Neilson Leafs coach last season taught us We can combine what he taught us with the offensive plays of Smith STILL VISITS BARRIE While Maloney who still visits his mother and brother regularly in Barrie is pleased with his own play star defenceman Borje Salming is not The veteran Swede one of the top defenceman in the NHL feels he can play better Ive had some good games but feel can do better said Salming But think that stressing offense is better for the team especially when we play like we did last mght Salming says that having goaltender like Palmateer in net makes big dif ference to the Leafs when the opposition br ings the puck into the Leaf zone You have lot more confidencewhen you have goalie as good as Palmy in net said Salming Salming says that while its hard to estimate where the Leafs will finish this year he says that he thinks the team will do all right especially if Palmateer plays up to his potential But Salming thinks that the NHL expansion will be bad for hockey in the long run He sees it as being exciting to have more Canadian teams right now but that will wear off ShortsIt seems that even Leaf practices are of interest
