Leveille suffered brain damage
due to a cerebral hemorrhage
sustained in a weekend NHL
contest, but are not yet sure how
extensive it is.
The 19-year-old Montreal
native’s parents have kept a bed
side vigil at the Vancouver Gen
eral Hospital, where their son
underwent six hours of surgery
Saturday to relieve pressure on
his brain and stop bleeding.
Bruins spokesman Nate
Greenberg said Tuesday that
Dr. Barrie Woodhurst, who per
formed the surgery, advised
Leveille’s parents against trans
ferring their son to a hospital in
Montreal.
“There’s been no change in
his condition. We were told
there was no deterioration or
improvement in bis condition,”
Greenberg said after meeting
with Woodhurst, Leveille’s pa
rents and other team officials.
“He’s still unconscious and

Greenberg said Woodhurst
told the parents their son would
have to remain in the intensive
care unit at Vancouver General
Hospital indefinitely.
Leveille has been unconscious
since he was rushed to the hos
pital after he collapsed during
the first-period intermission in a
game against the Vancouver
Canucks.

“He (Woodhurst) felt there
was some brain damage, but to
what extent we don’t know,”
Greenberg said. “Mrs. Leveille
asked the doctor about transfer

Neurological Hospital and Insti

On Monday, Bruins general
manager Harry Sinden said
W oodhurst had discounted the
possibility that Leveille’s condi
tion was caused by a heavy check
be took from Vancouver for
ward Marc Crawford in the first
period of the hockey game.
“It has nothing to do with any
blow,” Sinden said. “It’s a mal
function of the arteries and
veins and is called an arterior-
veinus malformation.”

Former Montreal coach Scot
ty Bowman said he didn't recog
nize many of the Montreal
Canadiens Tuesday night. Pre
sent coach Bob Berry had the
same problem.
“When the game started at 8,
we weren’t even prepared,” Ber
ry said after his team could only
manage a 7-7 tie with the Buffa
lo Sabres. Montreal is undefe
ated in seven straight games, but
that is little consolation to Berry.
“We suffered a total break
down in the third period,” he
said. “We’ve been playing well
lately, but we’re still giving up
too many late goals.”
Ric Seiling and Gilles Hamel
scored in the third period to lift
the Sabres to a tie. Trailing 7-. r )
on a pair of second-period goals
by Montreal’s Ryan Walter, Seil
ing took a pass from Andre
Savard and beat Canadiens’
goalie Richard Sevigny. Hamel
notched his first of the season at
16:30 during a goalmouth
scramble.

“I hardly recognize the Cana
diens anymore,” Buffalo coach
Bowman said. “There’s only
seven plavers remaining from
the days that I was there.”
Guy Lafieur tied Bobby Orr
for 12th place on the all-time
NHL assists list with his setup of
Walter’s first goal at 5:58 of the
second period. He picked the
puck off the boards and back
handed a pass through his legs
to Walter, who broke a 5-5 dead
lock with a shot past Buffalo
goalie Jacques Cloutier. Less
than four minutes later. Lafieur
fed Walter and the left wing
blasted a drive through
Cloutier's legs to put Montreal
up 7-5.
The wild first period ended
5-5. Mike Foligno, rookie Han-
nu Virta and Steve Patrick pro
vided Buf falo with a 3-0 lead in
the first six minutes. Doug Wick-
enheiser made it 3-1 on a power
play with Montreal’s first snot on
a goal. Mark Napier and Keith
Acton scored less than three mi
nutes apart to tie it 3-3. But the
Sabres struck with goals from
