jim fletcher penalties hurt waxers penalty troubles by frank king sports editor if eddie sabo can stay out of the penalty box long enough he could lead the markham waxers out of the hockey wilderness sabo a veteran rightwinger on the rookieladen central ontario junior b club has shown the way in the scoring department hes played 11 of the blue-and- whites 14 games collecting 13 goals and 7 assists newcomer geoff davis is second while mar kham resident terry whelan is third with seven goals and 10 assists unfortunately sabos matched his offensive skills with a liking for the penalty box he has 59 mi nutes in penalties after just eight games tops for markham and secondworst in the league this sort of performance was highlighted in the waxers 64 loss to orillia sabo contributed a thirdperiod power play goal and two assists negating that was six penalties in the roughandtumble game a total of 39 infractions were called 20 for markham phil nicholls john balson and unionvilles mitch carless

er plays davis had three assists sabo two and unionvilles matt parsons one as far as all these penalties go waxer general manager lou hol- iett said the problem is the boys get too uptight because they want to win so bad and why not after all this has been anything but a banner year for the team that once had nhlers steve thomas and adam oates on its roster markham has only a win and two ties in 14 games so far leav ing it mired in the leagues east division basement its been out- scored by 48 goals we cant put anything together for 60 minutes com plained the gm at certain times in the games the boys are terrific then all of a sudden something happens that brings them down plus weve had penalties hear the end of the past three games which didnt give us a chance to catch up or go
