dignified, high, time somebody crop'hone down a throat. Page 10, THE TRINITY TRIPOD, May 6,1986 ORE SPORTS The Party's Over The Edmonton Oilers, the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champions, and the Hartford Whalers, an organization mired in futility for years but rejuvenated this year thanks to the work of general manager Emile Francis, were both eliminated from the playoffs last week in dramatic, seventh game, one-goal fashion; two teams with different backgrounds of success cast in a similar twist of fate. One play, one goal, the difference between victory and defeat, life and death. For rookie Oiler defenseman Steve Smith, just getting a chance to log some meaningful ice time was reward enough, but to play in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and on his birthday no less, was quite a treat. The seldom used player was skating for the defending champs and although they had been extended to seven games by the pesky Calgary Flames, most everyone felt that Edmonton, playing in its own arena, would emerge from the series. It had already fought back from a 2-0 defecit to tie it at 2-2 in the third period and so momentum seemed to be on its side as well, not to mention the hot play of goalie Grant Fuhr, who was doing an imitation of a wall that even Rich Little would admire. Smith picked up a loose puck behind his own goalline, skated around his net as he must have done a thousand times before, granted under less pressure, and slapped at the puck in an effort to clear it out of his zone and the reach of forechecking Lanny McDonald. And that's when disaster struck. The puck ricocheted off the skate of goalie Fuhr and into the net. Just like that, the Flames had been given a 3-2 lead and the momentum taken right out of Edmonton's sails. The Oilers pressured Calgary's goalie, Mike Vernon, down the stretch but couldn't notch the equalizer, leaving defenseman Smith with the worst possible birthday gift, a pair of goat's horns. The Whalers, the team that had shown so much character, determina- The women's lacrosse team defeated Middlebury, 16-13, in the NIAC opener. photo by Mark Bridges tion and improvement this season, saw their Cindarella year end most dramatically the night before, losing 2-1 to Montreal in the seventh game, in overtime no less.
