the oxamlnor Thursday Dec 1977 45 Stingers win blank Racers By THE CANADIAN PRESS The more gruelling the schedule gets the better Cincinnati Stingers perform Just ask coach Jacques Demers We completely controlled the game Demers said after the Stingers had blanked Indianapolis Racers 30 in World Hockey Association contest Wednesday night Its surprising because we really didn have our legs We were tired having played six games in eight nights but weve won three straight now Conversely Cincinnatis first nine games of the season were spread over 25day period and the Stingers failed to gain Single point during that span Their first win came Nov again st Birmingham Bulls one of three teams battling to stay out of the league basement The three victories in five nights pushed Cincinnati past the Racers into sixth place In other games Wednesday Houston Aeros and New England Whalers played to 33 tie while Edmonton Oilers downed the Bulls 42 Cincinnatis victory was sweet for goaltender Michel Dion whose contract was not renewed by the Racers after last season Its always little extra pleasure to beat your former team mates particularly after they didnt seem interested he said Its nice to let them know you are better than they thought you were Robbie Ftorek and Barry Legge scored firstperiod goals in game that was dominated by defence and puck control by the Stingers Del Hall netted his fourth goal of the season to com plete the scoring Larry Pleaus goal at 1140 of the third period lifted the Wha lers into the tie with Houston which stretched its home uri beaten string to six contests The single point increased New Englands firstplace lead over Winnipeg Jets and Quebec Nor diques to eight points Cam Connor had scored 26 seconds into the third period to give Houston 32 lead but Pleau connected on rebound to salvage the tie for New England winless in its last five games after setting league record with 13 consecutive victories Gordie Howe of the Whalers
