Page 12 Bomb Squad captures I.M. crown BOMBS AWAY! By Yvonne Harhigh The Bomb Squad captured the 1980- 81 Capitol Campus intramural basketball , crown, defeating the Bay Area Bombers 38-19 before thousands of cheering fans (okay, maybe it was closer to two or three silent bystanders). Jack Badstibner led the scoring with 18 points. Other Bomb Squad members, Mark Fuhrman and Mike Miller, added seven points each. The rest of the championship team includes: John Buzzy, Vince Tutich, Jim Weber, Mike Krahel, Tom Farquahar, and Mark Man ion. High scorer for the losing Bombers was Doug Long, with six points; Rick Joyce added five. Other team members include: Les, Miller, George Kalinovich, Gary Yannes, Danny Villani, Jeff Davis, Clyde Myers, Ken Aducci, Vince Camp ellone, and Bill Day. The Bomb Squad finished first in the regular season with a 13-1 record. They defeated the fourth-place Hershey Scrubs in semi-final action. The Bombers ended the season tied for second with Martino's Men, both 12-2; they beat Martino's Men in semi-final play. By Kevin Spiegel Believe it or not, the Montreal Canadiens have been eliminated by the Edmonton Oilers! I bet you couldn't name five guys on that team, excluding Wayne Gretzky. Well, how would you like to have been ousted by a goaltender named Moog? The Oilers have the youngest team in the NHL (average age 24) and maybe, just maybe, they could be the team to reckon with this year, if not, next year. But overall, I think the team to beat has to be the defending champions from Long Island. The Islanders faced no competition while beating Toronto in three straight. They possess so much depth that in their final regular season game they sat out Bossy, Trottier, Potvin, Kallur, and Goring. They even played their second-string goalie, Roland Melanson. Final score--Isles 7, Buffalo 3. The defense rests. Another surprise has to be the Minnesota North Stars. They were the visiting team, meaning that Boston had the home-ice advantage in their playoff series. In addition, in the North Stars' history they had never won in the Boston Garden. Throw that statistic away, or just burn it! The Stars shocked Beantown by destroying the Bruins twice in the Garden. Then they came home and wrapped things up to advance another round in the playoffs. Another team that advanced, in a surprise s was the New York Rangers. They defeated the 'Los Angeles Kings three games to one. In a series that was marred by a record-setting brawl, the Rangers kept their cool and played good solid hockey. They were led by rookie netminder Steve Baker, who played the best hockey of his young career. Calgary also swept its series rather easily. Buffalo, with its splendid goal tending, romped over the Vancouver Canucks in three straight.
