Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - January 23, 1968, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free january 1968 17 an unlucky team Canadas National hockey team was far from impress Ive against the United states sunday afternoon at the Winnipeg Why its difficult to one of the reasons could have been they were missing some of their Star including Gary who was benched by coach Jackie there is no doubt the nats outplayed their but it seemed to us they were forced to work twice As hard for their five goals As the americans did for in the end the were fortunate to get a draw out of the More we see the nats in the More we Are starting to think they Are an unlucky in the first period sunday they outplayed the Yankees from Here to yet found themselves trailing 2 to the puck just Bounce right for them although they had at least half a dozen glorious opportunities to one of these the Breaks will Start to come their the most enjoyable feature of the game was the performance of the finder Herb and and Steve besides skating they didst wait All Day to fire the puck As some of their More illustrious teammates Are wont to the great mystery but the great mystery of the Canadian National team is Gary Here is a Young Man gifted with tremendous hockey but for some reason known Only to fails to put out it is particularly noticeable that when everything int going just the Way he wants Gay is inclined to Bicker with the officials and generally act like a spoiled Schoolboy who Hast started to grow up or wont recognize the facts of when in fort William recently for the presentation of the world hockey briefs to the we had quite a Long Chat with Lionel Fleury of Quebec past president of the Fleury had seen Dineen in action against the russians a few Days earlier in a game in i he saw Gary play a better game than he did on that he did everything skated made Lovely plays and even killed Fleury pointed out that perhaps Gary gave it More than usual because his family had come in from Montreal to see the that was one Side of Why not All out a few Days later he was in action in and we have it from a Man who knows his that the Young Mon Trealer just give coach Jackie Mcleod is Loyal to the Young men who play for and is Seldom in Public at any of any of his but we imagine if the truth were he benched Dineen for his Lack of cooperation in this will probably be Etine ens last season in the uniform of the National hockey a lucrative professional contract is awaiting him in but if it is his final year in Amateur Why not Bow out by giving it his All every minute Hes on the ice if Canada is to make a respectable showing at Grenoble next Dineen can play an important part if he decides i to play up to his full but if Hes not ready to do i then coach Mcleod might just As Well leave him in and fill his position with a player whom he knows is at least giving his even if Hes not As not ability any More the Drummondville eagles who recently completed a european apparently did not win too Many friends while Over in a personal letter to this Herman Cederg who keeps free press readers informed As to whats going on in european wrote if a team labelled Canada is not Able to really bother a West German goaltender More than twice in 40 you can bet your life something is maybe it was the attitude of tie or then the decision to make them represent West Germany is not a bit stronger than Romania which played in Canada some weeks yet they beat Drummondville although losing the second game of course the Caha has Many return commitments from the Canada Tours of european it cannot Send the nationals to keep All of couple this with the eagerness of europeans to play and you have the curious business of a club simply changing in order to keep Canadian hockey prestige in Europe from deteriorating even i feel the Caha should take some precautions in sending teams they should be better prepared and even strengthened in cases where they meet Strong it is True that Canadian whatever their still outdraw any others in its less and less ability at lures the hockey fan to the rink than the expectation to see the villains in Good Guy chases bad Guy the canucks Are fast becoming the
