...speed, forechecking ferociously and shooting with a mission: to test B.U.'s sophomore goalie, Mark Fennie. With each shot Fennie appeared closer to flunking. Pucks dribbled out of his glove into the crease and once he almost turned a shot from behind his own cage. He accidentally caught a slap shot by Chris Gurry between his legs, and twice benefited from the referees' quick whistles as the puck lay free in the crease...
...their opportunities. At 4:52 Herb Wakabayashi lifted a lazy centering pass from Serge Boily into the goal's upper left corner. At 17:42 Larry Davenport took Billy Hinch's pass from the point and scored with a quick, power-play back-hander. A minute later Hinch's slap shot was deflected past the screened Crimson goalie, epitomizing the tragic injustice of the evening...
Playing before a small, mannerly crowd that seemed lost in the foggy expanses of the Garden, the Crimson took a 2-0 lead in a sloppy first period. Bobby Bauer scored off Jack Garrity's rebound at 5:18, and Parrot gunned a 35-foot slap shot that hit goalie Steve Holahan's stick with a crack and went...
...fearsome. There is not one ounce of excess baggage on his 5-ft. 10-in., 195-lb. frame; physiologists have called him "the perfect mesomorph." He is the fastest skater in the N.H.L. (28.3 m.p.h. with the puck, 29.7 m.p.h. without), and by far the fastest shot: his "slap shot," delivered from a full windup, has been clocked at 118.3 m.p.h., nearly 35 m.p.h. above the league average, and his "wrist shot," fired with just a flick of the stick, zings along at 100.7 m.p.h...
...King. More than any of his other records, more than his skating speed or the velocity of his slap shot or his indifference to the way opponents knee and trip and hook him, that performance in Detroit explains why Hull's peers as well as his public regard him with something approaching awe. Yet respect, even adulation, are intangibles. Hockey has also given Hull the tangible trappings that befit its reigning king. Chicago is paying Bobby $40,000 this season, and if the second-place Black Hawks can overcome the Montreal Canadiens' eight-point lead in the East...
